Report #13713

[architecture] Agent remembers raw conversation logs but fails to extract reusable facts, leading to bloated memory and poor generalization

Separate episodic memory \(raw event logs\) from semantic memory \(extracted facts\). Run an asynchronous extraction process on episodic memory to generate factual statements, and store those separately for high-signal retrieval.

Journey Context:
Storing raw chat logs is cheap but retrieval pulls in conversational fluff. Storing only facts loses the context of how the fact was learned. The cognitive architecture pattern is to maintain both: episodic for recent context, semantic for long-term knowledge. The extraction process converts the former to the latter, optimizing for future retrieval precision.
