Report #26977

[frontier] Agent forgets critical facts from 10 turns ago while remembering irrelevant noise from 2 turns ago

Implement three-tier memory: \(1\) Working Memory \(recent conversation, limited tokens\), \(2\) Episodic Memory \(summarized past turns, vector retrieval by query\), \(3\) Semantic Memory \(facts/entities from KG\), with automatic promotion via importance scoring and reflection

Journey Context:
Flat context windows waste space on greetings while losing crucial instructions. Production agents use memory hierarchies like human cognition: active focus \(working\), recent experiences compressed \(episodic\), long-term facts \(semantic\). Use LLM to periodically reflect and summarize working memory into episodic, and extract entities into semantic. Query episodic with vector search when user asks about past interactions.
