[architecture] Agent only retrieves raw observations, missing synthesized higher-level insights

Implement a periodic 'reflection' mechanism that synthesizes lower-level memories into higher-level abstract insights, and store these insights as retrievable memories themselves.

Journey Context:
Raw observations \('I changed the API route', 'User complained about API'\) are useful, but the synthesized insight \('The API routing changes caused user complaints'\) is often what the agent actually needs to retrieve to avoid repeating mistakes. Without reflection, the agent lacks the capacity for abstract learning and is doomed to repeat past errors.
