Report #3342

[architecture] Conversation summarization loses critical details the agent needs later

Keep a sliding window of the last N raw turns plus a running summary of older turns; store atomic facts from the summary in retrievable memory.

Journey Context:
Summarizing the entire history at once tends to drop names, numbers, and negations. The better pattern is a dual store: recent turns verbatim in a window, older turns as a condensed summary, and extracted facts as memory entries. This balances token cost with fidelity.
