[architecture] Building an agent as a stateless API relying entirely on the client to pass back full history

Architect the agent with a memory-first design where the agent itself manages its memory state \(read/write capabilities to its own memory stores\) and the client only passes a session ID and the new user input.

Journey Context:
Passing full history from client to LLM breaks down at scale due to token limits, latency, and client state management bugs. A memory-first agent encapsulates state management, allowing it to selectively recall what it needs from internal stores, reducing payload size and enabling true autonomous persistence across sessions without client-side burden.
