The context window disappears.

The recap omits fields recovery actually needs.

Case, principal, precondition, attempt, receipt and next check.

Preserve events; re-read the target.

Full written post / accessibility read

Watch the agent's conversation fade out after it sends a move. The placement service may still be working. A restarted model sees no reliable memory of what it authorized.

The new session says, customer moved to pool B. It does not say whether that was a request, an accepted operation or a converged serving state. Those are different facts.

The host journal persists the exact action and each observation. On resume, it gives the worker one bounded card and a query path for current state. Customer secrets stay out of prompt replay.

Store execution truth outside ephemeral sessions and make every resumer read the current service state. Do that because a tidy summary can be both sincere and wrong about an unfinished effect.

Four-beat scene transcript

1. The context window disappears.

Watch the agent's conversation fade out after it sends a move. The placement service may still be working. A restarted model sees no reliable memory of what it authorized.

Visual: The placement operation does not disappear with it.

2. A neat recap is not a receipt.

The new session says, customer moved to pool B. It does not say whether that was a request, an accepted operation or a converged serving state. Those are different facts.

Visual: The recap omits fields recovery actually needs.

3. Keep a narrow action card.

The host journal persists the exact action and each observation. On resume, it gives the worker one bounded card and a query path for current state. Customer secrets stay out of prompt replay.

Visual: Case, principal, precondition, attempt, receipt and next check.

4. Memory needs custody.

Store execution truth outside ephemeral sessions and make every resumer read the current service state. Do that because a tidy summary can be both sincere and wrong about an unfinished effect.

Visual: Preserve events; re-read the target.
