Report #14648

[architecture] Storing raw code snippets or entire conversation logs as memories makes retrieval return outdated or out-of-context fragments

Store semantic abstractions \(e.g., 'the auth module uses JWTs and relies on Redis'\) rather than raw code. Use the filesystem as the source of truth for code state, and memory only for architectural decisions and user preferences.

Journey Context:
Code changes frequently. If an agent memorizes a function's implementation, that memory becomes stale on the next commit, leading to hallucinated or conflicting code suggestions. Memory should store the 'why' \(decisions, constraints, preferences\) which changes slowly, while the 'what' \(current code\) should be retrieved dynamically from the live environment via tools like grep or IDE APIs.
