  "title": "Persistent Context Graphs for Efficient Memory Compaction in LLM Agents",
  "summary": "ReCAP replaces summarization-based and KV-cache-based history compaction with a persistent context graph of attention-derived importance scores and dependency links, so message selection for each new request uses stored signals plus lightweight relevance matching against the request rather than additional model calls. The cost is instrumentation to capture and store attention statistics and graph links per message, plus implementation complexity, and it presumes access to attention weights, which third-party APIs generally do not expose. It can fail when attention-based importance diverges from actual task relevance, when dependency links omit context a later request needs, or when the latency estimates do not transfer to the reader's real serving stack and workloads.",
  "rationale": "The method is implementable on a single GPU without training, but its dependence on attention access and its demonstrated gains being limited to specific agentic coding benchmarks require workload-specific validation before production adoption.",
