[agent\_craft] Agent re-reads old conversation logs or retrieves failed attempts from vector memory

Maintain a dual-memory system: a semantic memory \(vector DB of facts/architecture decisions\) and an episodic scratchpad \(recent actions\). Write to semantic memory only when a stable fact is learned, not on every tool call.

Journey Context:
Agents that dump everything into a vector DB end up retrieving their own failed attempts \(e.g., 'I tried X and it failed'\). Episodic memory \(short-term context\) handles the current task flow, while semantic memory stores long-term project truths \(e.g., 'We use PostgreSQL, not MySQL'\). Blurring these leads to the agent repeating old mistakes or getting confused by outdated states.
