[architecture] Saving raw, verbose tool outputs directly into long-term memory

Always pass tool outputs through an LLM extraction step to summarize or distill the output into a compact, semantic fact before saving to the memory store.

Journey Context:
When an agent calls a tool \(e.g., ls -la or a Jira API call\), the output can be hundreds of lines. Saving this raw output into a vector store wastes embedding space, fragments the context window upon retrieval, and dilutes semantic search \(searching for 'project status' retrieves a massive JSON blob instead of the specific status\). Distilling the output into a concise fact \('Jira ticket PROJ-123 is In Progress'\) before storage ensures high-density memory and efficient retrieval.
