Report #24286

[agent\_craft] Treating all past interactions equally by appending raw conversation history until context rot sets in

Split memory into episodic \(recent exact transcript for current task flow\) and semantic \(long-term vectorized facts for cross-session knowledge\), routing queries to semantic memory only when current context lacks the answer.

Journey Context:
Appending all history causes context rot, high latency, and high cost. Forgetting everything causes repeated mistakes and inability to learn project preferences. A dual-memory architecture mimics human memory: short-term buffer for immediate coherence, semantic retrieval for deep project knowledge.
