The author argues that current agent runtimes suffer from a fundamental protocol failure, likening the lack of session state to a TCP connection without a state machine. This leads to users becoming the retry protocol when tools fail, context overflows, or reasoning is poisoned. To address this, the author proposes a session state infrastructure with a typed state structure, a commit log for state changes, and diff inspection to show what has changed between turns. This would allow agents to handle failures more robustly by engineering solutions rather than relying on user intervention. AI
