[architecture] Agent saves every tool output and observation to long-term memory

Enforce a reflection and consolidation step before writing to long-term memory. Only persist synthesized insights, core facts, or failed paths, discarding raw intermediate outputs.

Journey Context:
Naive agents treat memory like a log file, writing every action and observation to the vector store. This causes the memory database to bloat with high-dimensional noise, making future retrievals return irrelevant raw logs instead of useful knowledge. The tradeoff is the compute cost of a reflection step, but it ensures the memory store remains high-signal, acting as a knowledge graph rather than a trash bin.
