Report #5225

[architecture] Saving every single interaction or observation to long-term memory

Implement an 'importance scorer' \(e.g., a 1-10 rating via a fast LLM call\) before writing to memory; only persist memories scoring above a threshold.

Journey Context:
Agents that automatically push every observation to a vector DB quickly fill it with low-signal noise \('User said hello', 'File saved'\). This makes future retrieval slower, more expensive, and prone to returning irrelevant results. By evaluating the importance of a memory before writing it, you curate a high-signal database. The tradeoff is a small latency penalty on the write path, but it prevents retrieval degradation over time.
