issue / bug

Language

Description

The “managing short term memory” section of the Memory capability for LangGraph states “With short-term memory enabled, long conversations can exceed the LLM’s context window”

This implies that the entire contents of short-term memory is automatically included in the context of an LLM memory. Is that true? Can’t a user choose what data in short-term memory to add to the context? Either way, the relationship between short-term memory and LLM context ought to be clarified.
