+# Context Management for Medium Models (30-40B) — Implementation Proposal
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-25
+**Problem:** Medium-tier models (~35B params) exhibit excessive repetition at ~35% context fill despite 256K context windows
+**Root Cause:** Monolithic context structure + attention degradation + tool schema bloat
+
+---
+
+## 1. Literature Summary
+
+### Key Findings
+
+| Paper | Key Insight | Application |
+|-------|-------------|-------------|
+| **Lost in the Middle** (Liu et al., 2024) | U-shaped attention: strong at start/end, 40% accuracy drop in middle 50% | Position critical info at edges |
+| **RECOMP** (ICLR 2024) | Context compressed to 6% with minimal quality loss via observation masking | Aggressive tool output masking |
+| **AgentFold** (arXiv:2510.24699) | Multi-scale folding prevents exponential fact decay (0.99^100 = 36.6%) | Progressive summarization with locked blocks |
+| **ARC** (arXiv:2601.12030) | Active revision + reflection = 11% accuracy gain | Structural preservation through compaction |
+| **NATURAL PLAN** (arXiv:2406.04520) | GPT-4 only 31% on planning even with full context | Efficient use > naive expansion |
+| **ToolLLM DFSDT** (arXiv:2307.16789) | Error preservation + backtracking = +35pp success | Error-preserving compaction strategy |
+| **SPRINT** (arXiv:2506.05745) | Parallel sub-calls distribute reasoning | Sub-agent delegation for independent tasks |
+| **Recursive LMs** (arXiv:2512.24601) | Externalize to REPL, recursive chunk analysis | RLM context OS layer |
+
+### Medium Model Specific Issues
+
+1. **Earlier attention degradation** - Starts at 35% vs 50% for large models
+2. **Tool schema bloat** - 64+ tools = ~15K tokens (6% of 256K)
+3. **Repetition loops** - Model re-reads files it already has in context
+4. **Completed task persistence** - Finished todos still occupy context

+## 3. Proposed Implementation Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1: Task-Phase-Aware Context Tree (PRIORITY: HIGH)
+
+**Problem:** Context is monolithic; completed work persists unnecessarily
+
+**Solution:** Hierarchical context tree with phase-based expansion/contraction
+
+```typescript
+interface ContextTree {
+  // Root: always present
+  root: {
+    systemPrompt: string;      // Condensed for medium models
+    activeGoal: string;        // Current task
+    toolSubset: string[];      // Only relevant tools
+  };
+  
+  // Phase nodes: expand when active, contract when complete
+  phases: {
+    explore: ContextNode;      // Active during exploration
+    plan: ContextNode;         // Active during planning
+    implement: ContextNode;    // Active during implementation
+    verify: ContextNode;       // Active during verification
+  };
+  
+  // Archive: accessible via memex_retrieve
+  archive: {
+    completedPhases: string[]; // Hash IDs
+    priorTasks: string[];      // Hash IDs
+  };
+}
+
+interface ContextNode {
+  status: "active" | "contracted" | "archived";
+  messages: ChatMessage[];
+  summary?: string;           // Generated when contracted
+  anchors: string[];          // Key facts to preserve
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+1. **Phase detection** - Analyze recent messages to determine current phase
+2. **Automatic contraction** - When phase completes, summarize + archive
+3. **Anchor extraction** - Preserve only critical facts from completed phases
+4. **Dynamic expansion** - When returning to a phase, restore from archive
+
+**Code locations:**
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts:5357` (compactMessages)
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts:1143` (contextLimits)
+
+### Phase 2: Tool Schema Lazy Loading (PRIORITY: HIGH)
+
+**Problem:** 64+ tools = ~15K tokens loaded at start
+
+**Solution:** Tier-aware tool subsets with on-demand expansion
+
+```typescript
+// Medium model tool subsets
+const MEDIUM_CORE_TOOLS = [
+  "file_read", "file_write", "file_edit",
+  "shell", "grep_search", "find_files",
+  "task_complete", "memory_read", "memory_write"
+];
+
+const MEDIUM_EXPANDABLE_TOOLS = {
+  web: ["web_search", "web_fetch", "web_crawl"],
+  code: ["file_patch", "file_explore", "batch_edit"],
+  agent: ["agent", "sub_agent", "background_run"],
+  memory: ["memory_search", "working_notes"],
+  // ... more subsets
+};
+
+// On-demand loading via explore_tools
+function expandToolSubset(subset: string): void {
+  // Add tools to active set
+  // Update tool schema in context
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+1. **Core tool set** - Only 9-12 tools loaded initially for medium models
+2. **Subset expansion** - `explore_tools("web")` loads web tools
+3. **Schema caching** - Tool schemas cached, not re-sent
+4. **Usage tracking** - Auto-unload unused tools after N turns
+
+**Code locations:**
+- `packages/execution/src/index.ts` (tool exports)
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts:870` (tool schema injection)
+
+### Phase 3: Completed Todo Pruning (PRIORITY: MEDIUM)
+
+**Problem:** Completed todos persist in context, wasting tokens
+
+**Solution:** Automatic pruning with anchor extraction
+
+```typescript
+interface TodoState {
+  active: Todo[];           // In context
+  completed: TodoAnchor[];  // Summarized
+  archived: string[];       // Hash IDs in Memex
+}
+
+interface TodoAnchor {
+  id: string;
+  summary: string;          // One-line summary
+  keyFiles: string[];       // Files touched
+  outcome: "success" | "blocked" | "delegated";
+}
+
+// Pruning logic
+function pruneCompletedTodos(): void {
+  const completed = todos.filter(t => t.status === "completed");
+  const anchors = completed.map(t => extractAnchor(t));
+  
+  // Add anchors to context (compact)
+  // Archive full todos to Memex
+  // Update todo list
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+1. **Completion detection** - When todo marked completed
+2. **Anchor extraction** - Generate one-line summary + key files
+3. **Context update** - Replace full todo with anchor
+4. **Memex archive** - Store full todo for retrieval
+
+**Code locations:**
+- `packages/execution/src/tools/todo.ts`
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts:5554` (formatTaskState)
+
+### Phase 4: Sub-Agent Context Isolation (PRIORITY: MEDIUM)
+
+**Problem:** Sub-agents inherit parent context, causing bloat
+
+**Solution:** Clean context boundary with explicit handoff
+
+```typescript
+interface SubAgentContext {
+  // Minimal context for sub-agent
+  task: string;              // Delegated task only
+  relevantFiles: string[];   // Only files needed
+  toolSubset: string[];      // Only tools needed
+  
+  // NOT included
+  // - Parent conversation history
+  // - Completed todos
+  // - Other sub-agent results
+}
+
+interface HandoffProtocol {
+  // Parent → Sub-agent
+  handoff: {
+    task: string;
+    files: FileContent[];    // Pre-loaded files
+    constraints: string[];   // Rules to follow
+  };
+  
+  // Sub-agent → Parent
+  return: {
+    summary: string;         // What was done
+    filesModified: string[]; // Files changed
+    artifacts: string[];     // Memex IDs for results
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+1. **Context stripping** - Remove parent context before spawn
+2. **File pre-loading** - Only relevant files passed
+3. **Result summarization** - Sub-agent returns summary, not full context
+4. **Parent integration** - Summary added to parent context
+
+**Code locations:**
+- `packages/execution/src/tools/agent-tool.ts`
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agent-types.ts`
+
+### Phase 5: Proactive Context Pruning (PRIORITY: LOW)
+
+**Problem:** Compaction only at threshold, no proactive cleanup
+
+**Solution:** Background pruning of low-value context
+
+```typescript
+interface PruningRules {
+  // Auto-prune after N turns
+  duplicateToolCalls: { maxOccurrences: 2 };
+  oldFileReads: { maxAge: 10 };  // Turns
+  successfulTests: { keepSummary: true };
+  
+  // Never prune
+  errors: { preserve: true };
+  decisions: { preserve: true };
+  activeFiles: { preserve: true };
+}
+
+// Background pruning (runs every 5 turns)
+function proactivePrune(): void {
+  // Remove duplicate tool calls
+  // Summarize old file reads
+  // Archive successful test runs
+  // Update SNR
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+1. **Turn counter** - Track message age
+2. **Value scoring** - Score each message for relevance
+3. **Background pruning** - Run every N turns
+4. **SNR update** - Recalculate after pruning
+
+**Code locations:**
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts:5357` (compactMessages)
+
+### Phase 6: Anchor Surfacing (PRIORITY: LOW)
+
+**Problem:** Previous task context always present
+
+**Solution:** Demand-driven anchor retrieval
+
+```typescript
+interface AnchorStore {
+  // Lightweight anchors always present
+  anchors: Map<string, Anchor>;
+  
+  // Full context retrieved on demand
+  archive: Map<string, string>;  // Memex IDs
+}
+
+interface Anchor {
+  id: string;
+  type: "file" | "decision" | "error" | "task";
+  summary: string;           // One line
+  keywords: string[];        // For retrieval
+  memexId?: string;          // Full context
+}
+
+// Retrieval triggered by:
+// - Keyword match in current task
+// - File path reference
+// - Explicit memex_retrieve call
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+1. **Anchor extraction** - During compaction, extract anchors
+2. **Keyword indexing** - Index anchors by keywords
+3. **Demand retrieval** - Surface when keywords match
+4. **Context injection** - Add retrieved context to recent messages
+
+**Code locations:**
+- `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts:5561` (formatFileRegistry)
+- `packages/memory/src/episodeStore.ts` (semantic search)
+

+| Phase 5: Proactive Pruning | LOW | MEDIUM | P2 | Phase 1 |
+| Phase 6: Anchor Surfacing | LOW | HIGH | P2 | Phase 1, Phase 3 |
+
+**Recommended Order:**
+1. **Phase 2** (Tool Lazy Loading) - Quick win, immediate token savings
+2. **Phase 1** (Context Tree) - Foundation for all other phases
+3. **Phase 3** (Todo Pruning) - Builds on Phase 1
+4. **Phase 4** (Sub-Agent Isolation) - Independent, medium effort

+# Meta-Analysis: False Positive Duplicate Tool Call Detection
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-14  
+**Scope:** `packages/orchestrator/src/agenticRunner.ts` — `proactivePrune()` + `_buildResourceKey()`
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Two interrelated bugs were discovered in the proactive context pruning system:
+
+1. **REG-62 semantic dedup was designed but never wired** — the `seenResource` Map and `_buildResourceKey()` method existed but were dead code
+2. **`_buildResourceKey` for `file_read` ignored offset/limit** — all reads of the same file mapped to the same resource key regardless of which lines were being read
+
+If REG-62 had been wired WITHOUT fixing #2, it would have caused **catastrophic false positives**: reading different sections of a large file would be treated as the same resource, causing the older section to be pruned, then re-requested, then flagged as a duplicate — an infinite loop of false positive detection.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Bug 1: Dead Code — REG-62 Never Wired
+
+```
+Line 2993: const seenResource = new Map<string, { turn: number; idx: number }>();
+```
+
+This Map was declared but never populated or checked. The `_buildResourceKey()` method (line ~4611) was defined but never called from `proactivePrune()`. The entire semantic dedup layer — designed to catch cross-tool reads of the same resource (e.g., `file_read("foo.ts")` + `shell("cat foo.ts")`) — was inert.
+
+**Impact:** Without semantic dedup, the system relied solely on exact fingerprint matching (`_buildToolFingerprint`), which includes ALL arguments. This meant `file_read("foo.ts", offset=10)` and `file_read("foo.ts", offset=50)` were correctly treated as different calls by exact dedup. However, the semantic layer that should catch cross-tool duplicates was missing entirely.
+
+### Bug 2: Resource Key Ignored Line Range
+
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (broken):
+if (name === "file_read") {
+  const p = String(a.path ?? a.file ?? "");
+  return p ? `resource:file:${p}` : "";
+}
+```
+
+All `file_read` calls to the same path produced `resource:file:foo.ts` — regardless of offset/limit. This is the exact false positive the user reported: reads of different lines in larger files would be seen as the same resource.
+
+**Why this matters:** When semantic dedup IS active, two calls with the same resource key but different fingerprints trigger pruning of the older call. Without offset/limit in the key, reading line 10-50 and then reading line 200-250 of the same file would prune the first read — even though both sections contain unique, needed information.
+
+## Fixes Applied
+
+### REG-67: Include offset/limit in resource key
+
+```typescript
+// AFTER (fixed):
+if (name === "file_read") {
+  const p = String(a.path ?? a.file ?? "");
+  if (!p) return "";
+  const offset = a.offset != null ? Number(a.offset) : undefined;
+  const limit = a.limit != null ? Number(a.limit) : undefined;
+  if (offset !== undefined || limit !== undefined) {
+    return `resource:file:${p}@${offset ?? 0}:${limit ?? "end"}`;
+  }
+  return `resource:file:${p}`;
+}
+```
+
+Now `file_read("big.ts", offset=10, limit=50)` → `resource:file:big.ts@10:50`  
+And `file_read("big.ts", offset=200, limit=50)` → `resource:file:big.ts@200:50`  
+Different keys → no false positive dedup.
+
+### REG-62 Wired: Semantic dedup now active
+
+The `seenResource` Map is now populated and checked in `proactivePrune()`. When two different exact calls target the same resource (same `rkey`), the older one is pruned. This correctly catches:
+
+- `file_read("foo.ts")` followed by `file_read("foo.ts")` — same resource, prune older
+- `shell("cat foo.ts")` followed by `file_read("foo.ts")` — same resource, prune older
+- `file_read("foo.ts", offset=10)` followed by `file_read("foo.ts", offset=10)` — same resource+range, prune older
+
+And correctly does NOT prune:
+
+- `file_read("foo.ts", offset=10)` followed by `file_read("foo.ts", offset=200)` — different ranges, keep both
+
+## Memory System Self-Evaluation
+
+### What the memory systems got right
+- Previous sessions correctly identified the duplicate tool call problem and stored findings in `project/bug_fixes`
+- The `inner_critic_findings` topic flagged the agenticRunner.ts as a high-risk file for regressions
+- Task lessons from prior sessions guided toward reading before editing
+
+### What the memory systems missed
+- No memory entry flagged that REG-62 was dead code — the `seenResource` Map was declared but never used
+- The `project/architecture` topic lists 88 tools but doesn't document the proactivePrune dedup layers
+- No cross-reference between the "duplicate calls" bug pattern and the specific dedup mechanism that causes it
+
+### Recommendations for memory improvement
+1. **Dead code detection**: When storing architecture knowledge, flag declared-but-unused variables as potential bugs
+2. **Layer documentation**: The dedup system has 3 layers (exact fingerprint, semantic resource, aged file) — this should be documented in `project/architecture`
+3. **False positive tracking**: Add a `project/false_positive_patterns` topic for known scenarios where dedup incorrectly flags unique calls
+
+## Verification
+
+- TypeScript compilation: ✅ `tsc --noEmit` passes
+- Grep verification: ✅ dedup/duplicate references found in 11 orchestrator source files
+- Edit verification: ✅ REG-67 and REG-62 comments present in agenticRunner.ts
