[architecture] Starting a new session by injecting the entire raw transcript of the previous session into the prompt

Generate a structured 'session summary' or 'scratchpad' at the end of a session. Persist this summary as the seed for the next session. Store detailed step-by-step logs in a database for async retrieval only if the agent needs to recall a specific detail.

Journey Context:
Agents need continuity, but raw transcripts are mostly fluff \('ok', 'sure', 'let me try that'\). Injecting the full transcript leaves no room for actual work in the new session. Summarization compresses the state. The tradeoff is loss of granular detail, which is why you must pair the summary with an indexed long-term memory store so the agent can query the raw logs if the summary is insufficient.
