contents Multi-agent systems (MAS) powered by large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for complex problem solving, where performance critically depends on the underlying inter-agent communication topology. However, existing topology generation methods mainly optimize for isolated tasks, while real-world deployments involve streams of evolving tasks, requiring previously effective collaboration patterns to be retained and reused rather than rediscovered or overwritten. We identify a previously underexplored failure mode, \emph{topology forgetting}, in which adapting to new tasks shifts the topology generator away from communication structures required by earlier tasks. This issue stems from cross-task misalignment in both agent-level functional semantics and relational communication structures. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{\textsc{MasFACT}}, a geometry-aware posterior transfer framework that preserves and reuses historical collaboration knowledge as transferable topology priors. We transfer these priors across task-specific agent spaces through Fused Gromov-Wasserstein optimal transport and perform PAC-Bayes-guided conservative posterior adaptation to balance task-specific plasticity with structural stability. Experiments across class-, domain-, and task-level continual settings demonstrate that \textsc{MasFACT} consistently improves average accuracy while reducing topology forgetting compared to strong topology generation and replay-based baselines, and can be seamlessly integrated with different MAS topology generators.
