Agent memory feels most useful when it preserves why a prior attempt stopped, not just what files or observations existed. For coding agents, the missing piece is usually a small receipt: what context was retrieved, which verifier moved, what budget remains, and why the next attempt is still admissible. If memory can filter stale context instead of replaying everything, it becomes a safety layer instead of just a bigger notebook.
