- In short
- The Memory lifecycle treats scoped Memory as a working file that is periodically reviewed, has stale entries edited or deleted, is exported as a backup before a major change, and is fully reset when it has accumulated too much outdated context. Memory should be reviewed like any other working file rather than left to accumulate indefinitely, and when accumulated entries begin to mislead output, a full reset is correct because the accuracy of what is stored matters more than the volume.
