Report #17007

[agent\_craft] Agent treats all past conversation turns equally, leading to a context window full of pleasantries and outdated hypotheses

Implement a two-tier memory: an episodic scratchpad \(recent actions, current state\) and a semantic long-term memory \(learned facts, resolved issues\). Only the scratchpad stays in the active context; long-term memory is queried on demand.

Journey Context:
A flat context window is a poor substitute for human memory. Episodic memory is crucial for immediate coherence, while semantic memory is needed for planning. Mixing them causes the agent to repeat past mistakes or get stuck on abandoned paths.
