Another question is, why would earlier conversations need to be stored and recalled? They're irrelevant. Only records of the initial requirements and the work done, or work in progress, needs to be stored.

You could definitely build a coding agent that way, and it sounds like you've done it. We store the conversation history because:
1. In our use of coding agents, we find that there are often things referenced earlier in the conversation (API keys, endpoint addresses, feedback to the agent, etc.) that it's useful to have persist.
2. This is a general-purpose LLM memory system, which we've just used here to build a coding agent. But it is also designed for personal assistants, legal LLMs, etc.
