[architecture] Agent saves every single interaction to long-term memory, diluting the embedding space and slowing retrieval

Implement a 'reflection' or 'importance scoring' step: only persist memories that cross an importance threshold, and periodically synthesize multiple trivial memories into higher-level semantic summaries.

Journey Context:
Storing 'User said hi' and 'User prefers Python' equally bloats the vector store. As the store grows, retrieval precision drops due to semantic crowding. By scoring importance at write-time and running periodic background jobs to compress trivial episodic memories into semantic insights, you keep the memory store lean and high-signal, optimizing the vector vs. context-window tradeoff.
