Report #35731

[frontier] Agent loses long-term context in extended sessions

Adopt hierarchical memory tiers: working memory \(recent messages\), episodic memory \(vector search of past sessions\), and semantic memory \(knowledge graph facts\) with automatic promotion/demotion

Journey Context:
Single vector stores fail at long-horizon tasks over hours or days. The 2025 pattern \(implemented in LangMem\) uses three tiers: working memory for the last N messages, episodic for semantically retrieved past interactions, and semantic for extracted facts/relationships. A background process summarizes and moves data between tiers based on recency and importance scores.
