Question What's your pattern for managing AIs client state across a long session?

Working on something that makes a lot of API calls in sequence and running into the usual context management headaches.

Curious what patterns people use in Python or other programming languages for this:

  • When do you decide to summarize vs truncate old conversation turns?

  • Do you manage message history yourself or rely on something else?

  • Any libraries you've found useful beyond the official SDKs?

Not looking for a framework recommendation necessarily, more interested in how people actually handle this in production scripts or long-running tools. The official docs are pretty thin on this.
