[research] Agent memory summarization loses critical details, causing repetitive or failed actions over long sessions

Inject a memory recall eval step: periodically ask the agent to retrieve a specific detail from earlier in the session without acting on it. Score the recall accuracy independently of the task execution.

Journey Context:
Agents running long tasks must summarize history to fit context limits. Standard task-completion evals won't catch if the agent forgot the user's specific preference \(e.g., use TypeScript\) and switched to Python halfway through. Isolating memory recall as a distinct eval dimension ensures summarization prompts preserve key entities.
