December 2025 — LangChain4j monthly summary: - Implemented a new control for augmented messages storage in chat memory. Introduced the storeRetrievedContentInChatMemory flag to govern whether augmented user messages are stored in ChatMemory, enabling more concise history while preserving augmented data for LLM requests. - Default behavior preserved to avoid breaking changes (true to store final userMessage post-RAG when enabled; false to store only originalUserMessage while still sending augmented content to LLM). - Delivered with end-to-end tests (unit and integration) and manual validation across core modules; commits linked to the change (see 70f3c4ddeb14f0ed125cfde3dd6ae6c0afa4dc51). - Impact: reduces chat memory footprint, improves privacy/compliance, and maintains LLM accuracy by ensuring augmented content is used for requests when appropriate. - Prepared for reviewer adoption with documentation scaffolding and issue linkage (Closes #3498).
