Part 2 of the Building the AI Memory Stack series
When I published the first article in this series, I thought I was writing about context windows.
The more I wrote, the more I found myself bouncing between documents. I had the glossary open in one browser tab. The Memory as Infrastructure article was open in another. A third tab contained notes about Context Hydration. GitHub was open with the SDK specifications, and a handful of Architecture Decision Records were sitting beside my editor.
None of those documents individually contained "the answer." Together, they formed the temporary collection of information I needed before I could make progress.
Then something unexpected happened.
