Report #102576

[architecture] Storing every raw user message, tool call, and observation as a vector and expecting semantic search to surface what matters.

Write time-stamped observations, but score each one by importance; periodically cluster related observations and consolidate them into higher-level reflections or semantic facts; archive or drop low-importance noise.

Journey Context:
Unfiltered memory streams drown retrieval in trivia: a query about a user's preference returns a thousand irrelevant turns. Generative Agents addressed this with a memory stream scored by recency, importance, and relevance, plus a reflection step that triggers when cumulative importance crosses a threshold. The reflection produces compact, reusable abstractions. Raw logs are still useful as episodic evidence, but they should not dominate retrieval; otherwise the agent confuses surface similarity with real salience.
