Durable Agent Memory
Projection: Enterprise agent memory will operate as governed infrastructure, with explicit retention, deletion, provenance, scope, and conflict rules. Current captures document tools, permissions, memory, and evaluation as concerns, not a deployed service layer. Shipping controls that enforce all five properties would mark the transition from feature to system.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
The cited captures document agent tooling, permissions, memory, and evaluation. They do not establish Durable Agent Memory as a deployed mechanism. The adoption test is whether enterprise memory services enforce retention, deletion, provenance, scope, and conflict rules.
