The separation between conversation and state management is explained really well here.
The hard part usually starts after persistent state begins accumulating for months across real workflows. Schemas drift, priorities change, stale assumptions stay in memory, and eventually someone has to decide what the system should forget, overwrite, or stop acting on.
Compounding systems can compound noise too if the operational ownership around state isn’t clear.

That's why your schema should separate signal from noise.
Once the signal's isolated, noise accumulation doesn't matter.
Then your system will only look and act on signals instead of noise.
