Robert Clapp(@RobertClapp):everyone building agent swarms right now is solving the wrong memory problem. they keep adding more context, bigger windows, longer histories. the agent still forgets, because the issue was never capacity. the issue is isolation. when two tools share the same memory store, a write from one silently overwrites the other's context 200ms later. the agent downstream reads corrupted state and makes a confident decision based on something that was already gone. zero indication anything broke.
