[architecture] Agent re-learns the same tool-calling pattern in every session

Persist procedural memory as validated tool-use traces and reusable subroutines keyed by task signature, not as raw chat logs. Retrieve them by matching the current task shape rather than by text similarity.

Journey Context:
Raw conversation history is a terrible medium for reusable skills: it contains failed attempts, irrelevant user phrasing, and dead ends. Procedural memory should capture the final successful trace and parameterize it into a subroutine. The retrieval key should be the task type and schema, not the user's wording. This is how agents compound capability over time instead of starting from zero each session.
