Report #16601

[architecture] Agent loses all project context when a new session starts

Implement a persistent 'Core Memory' block \(a structured text block or JSON in a database\) that the agent can read and write to during a session, which is injected into the system prompt at the start of every new session.

Journey Context:
LLMs are inherently stateless. A new session wipes the slate. Dumping the entire previous session's transcript into the new prompt is too long and expensive. By maintaining a curated, editable 'Core Memory' \(e.g., user preferences, project directory structure, current goals\), the agent retains cross-session identity without context overflow.
