[architecture] Agent retrieves conversational filler instead of factual knowledge when searching memory

Do not embed raw chat turns directly into the long-term vector store. Route conversational turns through an extraction/summarization step to generate semantic memory \(factual triples or concise statements\) before embedding.

Journey Context:
Raw chat logs are episodic memory—they contain the how and when of a conversation, not just the what. If embedded directly, searches for 'user's favorite color' return chunks with 'My favorite color is blue, anyway how is the weather?'. The LLM then has to parse the filler. Extracting facts before embedding drastically increases signal-to-noise ratio in retrieval and saves vector storage space.
