Agent State & Memory

Persisting decisions and intermediate results across turns.

Agents that span turns need durable state: which tools have been called, what was learned, what the user has approved. Persist a minimal state vector (JSON) rather than serializing the full conversation. Reconstruct context from the state vector on each turn.
