arXiv:2609.32091v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are stateless across sessions by default and therefore operationally amnesic: each session begins with little durable knowledge of prior failures, repairs, preferences, or successful strategies. As a result, agents repeat the same mistakes and discard hard-won experience. The dominant fix is \emph{bespoke memory}---retrieval, persistence, and learning logic hand-wired into one agent and bound to one storage engine. This creates a fragmented landscape where memory cannot be swapped, shared, isolated, or reasoned about independently of the agent that owns it. We argue that this is a middleware problem: agent memory deserves a first-clas
