Report #53450

[frontier] Agent cannot recall visual experiences when querying memory with text because text embeddings don't align with visual embeddings

Implement bimodal memory indexing where each visual experience is stored with both its visual embedding \(CLIP-style\) and a generated caption embedding, enabling retrieval via either modality

Journey Context:
Vector DBs fail across modalities: querying 'the blue error dialog from Tuesday' with text retrieves nothing because the visual embedding of the dialog is distant from the text embedding of 'blue error dialog'. GUI agents need to recall visual state via text descriptions. Storing dual embeddings \(visual \+ synthetic caption\) bridges the gap. The caption serves as the bridge for text queries. This beats pure image retrieval which requires example images as queries. Tradeoff: storage cost doubles, but retrieval accuracy for multimodal agents is critical.
