AI agents forget tasks due to state desync; durability is the fix

AI agents can suffer from 'state desync,' where their internal memory (model context) diverges from the actual state of the task in the real world. This often occurs after process restarts due to crashes or deployments, causing agents to forget previous actions and potentially duplicate work. The solution involves persisting the agent's 'scratchpad'—a record of its thought-action-observation history—to a durable store like SQLite after each step, rather than relying solely on short-term model context. AI
