[architecture] Agent losing state between sessions or over-persisting raw context across sessions

Distill episodic memory \(what happened\) into semantic memory \(what was learned\) at the end of a session, and bootstrap the next session by loading only the semantic profile and the current task's context.

Journey Context:
A common mistake is saving the entire context window to a database and reloading it next session. This hits token limits and carries over irrelevant episodic noise. Conversely, starting fresh loses user preferences. The solution mirrors human sleep consolidation: offline processing distills episodic sequences into semantic facts. This keeps the cross-session bootstrap payload small and highly relevant.
