Analysts notice the investigation agent forgets entities introduced early, summaries slowly change key facts, and vector recall sometimes returns topically similar but wrong cases. Which diagnosis best matches these context-window issues?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A names the exact issues in the study guide: sliding-window amnesia, summary drift, and vector-only recall problems—plus entity continuity. Fix with entity-preserving compaction, validating summaries against sources, and hybrid retrieval that uses hard identifiers not only embeddings. B GPU drivers are a red herring. C temperature zero does not restore dropped entities. D nuking memory destroys capability. When stems list forgetfulness + changing summaries + similar-but-wrong vectors, map to those named context pathologies.
Full Explanation
Correct Answer — A
Diagnosing context window issues includes sliding-window amnesia, summary drift, vector-only recall limits, and entity continuity failures. Mitigations include entity-aware compaction, summary checks, and hybrid retrieval with explicit identifiers.
Why B is wrong: Driver versions do not explain multi-agent context pathologies described.
Why C is wrong: Temperature alone does not fix dropped or drifted entities.
Why D is wrong: Disabling memory removes necessary capability rather than repairing it.
Exam tip: Memorize the named context failure modes for optimize questions.
