Day 11 of Green, Efficient AI is live — Reset the Loop When Context Decays.

An agent runs for fifteen turns. Each turn costs more than the one before it. By the last few turns, a single turn can cost more than the first several combined.  
The questions did not get harder. The loop got heavier.

Most of what a long-running agent carries forward is residue — retracted reasoning, verbose tool payloads, instructions the agent has already satisfied.  
None of it is being used on the next turn. All of it is being re-processed on every turn.

There is a crossover point where a fresh loop, started with a four-line summary, is cheaper than another turn of the old one. Knowing where that point is, in today's issue.
