we implemented a similar idea some time back and it has proven quite useful: https://blog.codesolvent.com/2025/01/applying-forkjoin-model...

In Solvent, the main utility is allowing forked-off use of the same session without context pollution.

For instance a coding assistant session can be used to generate a checklist as a fork and then followed by the core task of writing code. This allows the human user to see the related flows (checklist gen,requirements gen,coding...etc) in chronological order without context pollution.

Great to hear others are thinking along similar lines!

Context pollution is a serious problem - I love that you use that term as well.

Have you had good feedback for your fork-off implementation?

Feel to "borrow" the term "context pollution" :)

Yes it has proven quite a useful feature. Primarily for the reason stated above, allowing users to get a full log of what's going on in the same session that the core task is taking place.

We also use it extensively to facilitate back-and-forth conversation with the agents, for instance a lot of our human-in-loop capabilities rely on the forking functionality...the scope of its utility has been frankly surprising :)
