AI coding assistants lose architectural context between sessions, forcing repeated re-explanation

Developers using AI coding tools must re-explain system architecture and prior decisions at every session start because these tools have no persistent project memory. This overhead grows with project complexity and erodes the productivity gains the tools are supposed to provide. The problem is structural to stateless LLM sessions.
