How do LLM context window limits interact with persisted agent state?

LLM context window limits directly interact with persisted agent workflow state for Catalyst-backed agents built on Dapr. Context windows cap the total data allowed in a single LLM prompt, while persisted state stores long-term workflow context for both deterministic and probabilistic agent runs; excess state must be offloaded or filtered to fit within the window during execution. A key caveat is that filtering must preserve critical workflow context to avoid disrupting agent logic.
