Why does an LLM run perfectly on a fresh prompt but completely drop your system instructions four or five turns into a long-running conversation? The reality of building production-grade agents isn't just about total token capacity; it’s about your explicit context management strategy. When an LLM approaches its hard context limit, it dynamically forgets instructions, leading to critical, non-deterministic drift that traditional testing parameters miss.
