Memory Lineage Gap
The inability to trace AI agent decisions back to specific source objects, source timestamps, or source contexts — the audit-trail equivalent of "where did this knowledge come from?" In multi-agent systems where agents pass context to each other, a flawed downstream decision based on poisoned upstream memory is impossible to debug without robust memory lineage. Tools like Vestige (multi-channel scoring), Animesis CMA (immutable Raw Event Log), and the Semantic Claim Graph pattern address this gap from different angles.
