[architecture] Agent remembering trivial details alongside critical instructions

Assign an 'importance' score \(1-10\) to each memory at ingestion time using an LLM, and only retrieve memories that pass a dynamic importance threshold based on the current task complexity.

Journey Context:
If all memories are treated equally, retrieval is dominated by high-frequency, low-value interactions \(e.g., 'user said hello'\). Rule-based filtering is brittle and misses semantic nuance. The tradeoff is increased ingestion cost due to the scoring call, but retrieval precision skyrockets, preventing context window waste.
