[architecture] Agent loses all learned capabilities and user preferences between sessions

Extract and persist episodic/semantic memory to an external store at the end of a session, and load it as a bootstrapping step at the start of the next session before executing the first task.

Journey Context:
Stateless LLMs reset completely. Storing chat history is insufficient because it's too verbose and lacks structure. The agent needs a shutdown hook to distill the session into learned facts \(semantic memory\) and a startup hook to hydrate the context window with a 'persona/state summary' before acting, ensuring continuity without blowing up the context.
