Report #4508

[architecture] Agent saves every single interaction or tool output to long-term memory, exhausting storage and retrieval precision

Only persist semantic facts \(extracted triples/entities\) and high-level reflections, not raw episodic conversational turns. Use an LLM to extract 'takeaways' before saving to the vector store.

Journey Context:
Naive agents log the entire chat history or raw JSON tool outputs into the vector DB. This leads to massive bloat, high retrieval noise, and hitting embedding limits. Raw episodes are useless without interpretation. The alternative of saving everything fails at scale. Extracting structured semantic facts or summaries before writing to the DB drastically improves signal-to-noise ratio and makes retrieval deterministic.
