Write the problem hypothesis
For [user], the agent loses or retrieves [information] incorrectly across [scope], causing [wrong action or repeated work].
You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.Quota guard aborts on a seven_day snapshot past its resetsAt (13.24.23), and the only workaround, restart, discards the in-memory queue

Reporter context: Before submitting [x] I searched existing issues and confirmed this is not a duplicate Related Defect 1 is a known bug, not a new one. The stale-snapshot mechanism is #3870 (closed 2026-09-11, consolidated into #3606). The variant with an already-reset window is in the #3606 thread from @edgar-eaca (13.24.1), and…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Recruit: Recruit people who can bring a recent literature, evidence-review or source-tracing task.
Guardrail: Measure citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.
Interview five researchers, analysts or librarians
- Which information must persist?
- For how long and within what scope?
- Show the last wrong or missing recall.
- What data must never cross boundaries?
- How do you correct memory today?
Run the smallest experiment
Test one constrained memory scope with a small real dataset and a written expected-recall benchmark.
The system retrieves the right evidence across repeated sessions without leaking or inventing context.Measure citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
- Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
Why this brief exists
Information has value only when it changes action. This page turns one public signal into a bounded validation exercise. It is a research aid, not proof of demand, investment advice or a product recommendation.
