Memory snapshot — structured export of agent working state

A **memory snapshot** is a structured export of an agent's working state at a point in time. Higher fidelity than receipts; captures Mem0 / Letta / OpenAI Assistants memory contents. Used as the working-context layer in portable manifests.

Sources

Mem0 v1 list API. Letta agent archive export. OpenAI Assistants memory. Manual export via /sessions/new paste.

Format

Source-specific JSON wrapped in a standard envelope with source field and timestamp.

Use in portable manifest

When restore_chat assembles the portable manifest, the latest memory snapshot becomes the working-context layer. The receiver model gets the agent's working assumptions, not just the receipt history.

Storage

Snapshots stored as receipt extensions (extensions.snapshot). Versioned; you can restore any past snapshot.
