Report #46542

[architecture] Treating memory as a passive, implicitly updated append-only log

Expose memory operations \(search, save, edit, forget\) as explicit, first-class tools/actions that the LLM agent must actively choose to invoke.

Journey Context:
When memory writes are implicit \(e.g., automatically saving every turn\), the vector store fills with garbage, repeated facts, and low-value utterances, degrading future retrieval. When reads are implicit, the agent misses crucial context. By making memory an explicit tool, the LLM is forced to reason about what is worth remembering and what it needs to recall, significantly improving signal-to-noise ratio in the memory store.
