[architecture] Remembering every raw observation drowns high-value decisions in low-signal noise

Tier memory: raw observations in a FIFO buffer, summarized episodes, and high-level reflections/lessons; promote information upward when the buffer overflows.

Journey Context:
Agents generate far more telemetry than is useful. If a status log and a hard-won architecture decision are stored and retrieved equally, the decision gets buried. Generative Agents introduced the memory stream plus periodic reflection into higher-level insights. MemGPT/Letta use memory blocks with different update rules. A flat dump is easy to build but produces noisy retrieval; a curated hierarchy is the right long-term shape.
