this is a pretty important piece and the research backs you up. Moving that context out of your system prompt dynamically is going to help reduce your lost in the middle effect. Context rots almost immediately. I've got a project that is being built to address this directly as well, but I'm still very early days.

Keep it up! you're on the right track.
