[architecture] How to persist agent memory across sessions without blowing up the context window

Separate episodic memory \(session-specific\) from semantic memory \(cross-session user facts\). At the end of a session, run an asynchronous extraction pipeline to distill semantic facts from the episodic trace, saving only the distilled facts to the user's long-term profile.

Journey Context:
Saving raw chat history is cheap but noisy; loading it all next session blows up the context window and costs tokens. Saving nothing loses personalization. The fix is an asynchronous memory consolidation pipeline. At session end, an LLM extracts structured facts and upserts them to semantic memory, resolving conflicts, mimicking human sleep-cycle memory consolidation.
