Report #11896

[architecture] Agent retrieves raw conversational logs but misses the underlying semantic facts, leading to bloated context

Distill episodic memory \(raw interactions\) into semantic memory \(extracted facts/triples\) asynchronously, and query the semantic memory for task execution.

Journey Context:
Storing raw text chunks or chat transcripts is computationally cheap but semantically poor. When retrieved, they waste context tokens with pleasantries and irrelevant back-and-forth. Episodic memory must be processed into semantic memory—extracting the core facts \(e.g., 'User prefers dark mode'\)—so that retrieval is precise, token-efficient, and actionable. This mirrors human memory consolidation during sleep.
