[architecture] Agent remembering raw conversation history instead of distilled facts

Periodically summarize conversation turns into semantic facts \(reflection\) before storing to long-term memory, rather than embedding raw chat logs.

Journey Context:
Storing raw chat embeddings leads to multi-hop retrieval failures because the exact phrasing might not match the new query. It also bloats the vector store with high-token, low-density information. By summarizing/extracting semantic triples or facts, retrieval becomes much more precise. Tradeoff: summarization costs LLM calls and might lose nuance, but it drastically improves signal-to-noise ratio for future sessions and prevents the vector store from filling up with conversational filler.
