song of the day: Being Square - Donkey Kid - it's an absolute banger and i can't get it out of my head

i've been playing around with koog over the weekend and honestly, i'm struggling. the documentation and examples left me with a lot of questions and many hours of trial and error, though maybe that's just because i'm new to the field.

the biggest problem was grasping the difference between session/state, history and memory. koog is a kind of framework/DSL, and the graph workflow is quite confusing. currently execution often ends without feedback and i really don't know why.
