[architecture] Storing raw conversation transcripts as long-term memory

Extract semantic triples or episodic summaries before persisting to long-term memory. Store 'User prefers dark mode' not 'User: I like dark mode. Agent: Ok.'

Journey Context:
Raw transcripts are noisy, token-heavy, and lack searchability. When retrieved later, they waste context window space and introduce irrelevant conversational filler. Extracting structured insights \(semantic memory\) or high-level summaries \(episodic memory\) maximizes signal-to-noise ratio. The tradeoff is the extraction cost \(an LLM call per interaction\), but it pays off massively in retrieval accuracy and context efficiency over the agent's lifecycle.
