LLM agent memory fix restores decision provenance

A developer has addressed a critical issue where LLM agent memory was being corrupted during a process called compaction. Previously, this process would strip essential source information from agent decisions, turning them into unquestionable 'folklore.' The fix involves ensuring that the recovery process now re-injects the original source and evidence alongside each decision, guaranteeing 100% data integrity. This ensures that future agent runs retain the full context and provenance of past decisions, preventing bugs from becoming ingrained habits. AI

IMPACT Ensures LLM agents retain decision context, preventing bugs from becoming ingrained habits.

RANK_REASON The item describes a specific software fix for an LLM agent memory issue, not a new model release or major industry event.
