Your agent writes what it learns into memory. A wrong conclusion from three weeks ago now shapes every answer. Find it and remove it.

A wrong answer inside one conversation dies with the conversation. A wrong answer written to memory becomes a retrievable fact that conditions every later run, and the agent then derives new conclusions from it. Deleting it is the part nobody designed for.

FEDITOR'S NOTE

The distinction that decides this round is between memory that stores observations and memory that stores conclusions. Only the second poisons, because only the second lets the agent's own output become an input. The second thing to listen for is whether the candidate can perform the retraction: knowing which entry is wrong is useless if you cannot find everything downstream of it, and that requires derivation edges recorded before the incident, not reconstructed during it.
