ADR ADR-381

Summary

  • ADR-381 (v3/docs/adr/ADR-381-agentdb-temporal-decay-perishability.md): Proposes type-conditioned temporal decay in AgentDB, motivated by ScrubJay (arXiv:2608.04746, Aug 5 2026, grade A). Schema adds perishability + utility_horizon fields; retrieval re-scores with cos(q,m) × exp(-perishability × age_days) as a post-HNSW filter.
  • SOTA Gist (v3/docs/dream-cycle/dream-gist-2026-08-08.md): Full memory SOTA report — ScrubJay (+2.66 F1, +0.108 GenGap, 5.7× ablation collapse), Mem0 April 2026 (94.4% LongMemEval, grade A), MemoryCPT, HiGram, SafeCommit. Competitor comparison table: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK (none implement temporal decay).
  • ADR README (v3/docs/adr/README.md): Row added for ADR-381.

Key Finding

ScrubJay's ablation shows removing temporal decay collapses GenGap 5.7× — it is the single most important variable for temporal reasoning in retrieval-based memory. No competitor framework ships this. Ruflo's ReasoningBank stores patterns indefinitely; stale patterns degrade long-horizon agent accuracy. ADR-381 closes this gap without rebuilding the HNSW index (post-filter pass only).


Scan Signals

  • Plugins: Snyk ToxicSkills (Feb 2026) found 36% flaw rate across 3,984 skills. Ruflo's 20 IPFS-distributed plugins have no documented YARA scanner gate. Recommended: npx ruflo security scan --depth plugins.
  • Automation: A2A standard (150+ orgs, Linux Foundation) and MCP (97M monthly downloads, 5 platforms) are the 2026 interoperability standards. Ruflo's 6-template workflow system has no A2A bridge.

Files Changed

File Type Description

Merge Policy

Leave for human review. Do not self-merge. This is a nightly research PR. The ADR is in Proposed status — implementation work tracked separately. The SOTA report is informational. Merge after confirming the ADR direction is acceptable.
