[architecture] Agent stores raw conversation logs as memories, leading to massive token waste and poor retrieval

Extract semantic triples or concise facts from episodic interactions before storing them in the vector DB. Keep raw logs in an archival store only if needed for audit.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG implementations chunk and embed the raw conversation transcript. When retrieved, these chunks are verbose, contain filler, and lack the precise subject-predicate-object relationships needed for reasoning. This wastes context window space and yields poor similarity scores. The fix is to use an LLM to distill the episodic turn into semantic facts \*before\* embedding. This aligns with cognitive architectures separating episodic \(what happened\) from semantic \(what is true\).
