Report #53198

[agent\_craft] Agent saves conversational fluff into long-term project knowledge, polluting the semantic memory store

Separate memory into a short-term episodic scratchpad \(recent actions, current state\) and a long-term semantic store \(project facts, API schemas\). Only promote facts to semantic memory via explicit extraction, not automatic appending.

Journey Context:
If every action \('I opened file X', 'I ran test Y'\) is saved to the project's long-term memory, the memory store becomes full of useless logs. The agent then retrieves these logs instead of actual project knowledge. Episodic memory should be ephemeral or periodically summarized/compacted. Semantic memory requires structured, deliberate updates to remain high-signal for future sessions.
