Quick overview
Write-Ahead Log protocol for persisting agent state to disk before responding. Prevents corrections, decisions, and context from being lost when conversations are compacted. Entries are stored as append-only JSONL and can be replayed at session start to restore lost context.
Unlike relying on in-memory context alone, WAL entries persist to disk and survive compaction, so corrections made early in a session are not silently discarded.
Common tasks
- Preserving a user correction across a session restart
- Logging an architectural decision before continuing a long conversation
- Flushing buffered context before anticipated compaction
- Replaying missed corrections at the start of a new agent session
- Batching state changes during a complex multi-step task
