Report #46177

[architecture] The agent saves every single utterance to the vector store creating a graveyard of low-signal redundant embeddings

Implement an explicit 'Memory Write' tool that the agent must actively invoke. Instruct the agent to only save memories that represent new facts, user preferences, or corrected mistakes—ignoring greetings, phatic communication, and transient state.

Journey Context:
Auto-saving every turn is the default in many frameworks. This seems safe \(don't lose anything\) but is actually destructive because it drowns the signal in noise. Retrieval depends on the density of relevant vectors. If 90% of your DB is 'hello' and 'okay', semantic search fails. The tradeoff is the risk of forgetting vs. the cost of noise. An explicit write step forces the agent to evaluate the importance of the information before committing it, keeping the vector store dense with signal.
