Report #35631

[architecture] Agent saves every tool call and system message to long-term memory, causing bloat and retrieval noise

Implement an explicit 'reflection' or 'summarization' step before persisting memory. Only save high-level insights, user preferences, and task outcomes, discarding the raw tool-call traces and intermediate errors.

Journey Context:
Storing raw logs seems like a good idea for auditability, but it destroys retrieval signal. When an agent searches for 'user deployment preference', it shouldn't get back 50 raw JSON payloads of failed API calls. Agents need to synthesize raw interactions into semantic memories. This requires an extra LLM call to summarize/extract the memory before writing it, trading latency and compute for drastically improved retrieval precision.
