📖What it means
Everything an agent is holding while it works. It is finite, and running out of it is the single most common way an autonomous build dies — not a logic error, simply no room left to think in.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Memory
Context is what fits right now; memory is what survives the conversation.
Not: Prompt
The prompt is part of the context, not the whole of it.
