Problem Statement

Working RAM file timestamps remain stale across session gaps with no automatic pruning or handoff execution. Session state can drift — Active Tasks, Pending Decisions, and other fields become inconsistent without explicit save operations.

Impact

  • Data Integrity Loss: Pending decisions/tasks disappear between sessions
  • Memory Discipline Rule Violation: "Write handoffs at session end" is consistently broken
  • Context Fragmentation: Users lose track of ongoing work across chat boundaries

Proposed Solution

  1. Hook into Session End Events

    • Detect when the last tool call in a conversation completes
    • Trigger memory_write or write to Memory.md automatically
    • Capture all pending tasks and current agent state

  2. Implement session_handoff() Routine

    def session_handoff():
    # Flush working RAM → persistent memory
    # Archive active context to aar/
    # Update hot memory with fresh timestamp
    # Log handoff event to notes/

  3. Graceful Degradation

    • If auto-handoff fails, fallback to manual memory_write
    • Track failures in an error log for debugging

Implementation Steps

  1. Detect session termination signals (message count threshold, idle timeout)
  2. Serialize current state from working RAM structure
  3. Append to memory/aar/ with date-stamp and summary
  4. Clear/reduce hot memory within ~300 line limit
  5. Verify write success before acknowledging completion

Acceptance Criteria

  • Session end → automatic handoff triggered (within 1 second)
  • Handoff file written to memory/aar/ with full context
  • No data loss across session restarts
  • Test: Open new chat → verify prior pending tasks are preserved

Priority

High — Fundamental to memory discipline and reliable operation
