asked how you keep context between agent sessions, 8 people answered and nobody said the same thing

i asked here yesterday how people keep their agents from forgetting between sessions. almost everyone said a file in the repo.

what i took from it: never trim the file, keep the rejected idea next to the decision, small checkpoints, and make the agent write the failing test first.

mine still re-reads everything every time, so checkpoints is what i’m trying next.

what does your agent still forget even with all this?
