# Observational Memory + Tapes in the Pokemon Agent

## The Problem

Long agent runs hit context compaction. When Claude's context window fills up, older messages get summarized and the cache prefix breaks. The agent loses continuity: it forgets what it tried, what failed, and what worked. Each new session starts from scratch.

Code Review: PR #141 — fix: adjust content parsing

Resolves: #137 — Content parsing issue with OpenCode / Ollama

Overview

Overall

Solid design. Clean Publisher interface, good best-effort semantics (publish failures never block storage), and thorough test layers (unit, integration, E2E). Two items worth addressing before merge.
