Report #54658

[agent\_craft] Agent repeats the same failed approach across multiple sessions or tasks

Implement an episodic memory store that saves 'failed trajectories' \(the exact command, the error, and the resolution\) and retrieves them based on the current error state before attempting a fix.

Journey Context:
Agents typically have no memory of past failures. If a build fails due to a missing type, and it was fixed before, the agent should retrieve that fix immediately rather than re-diagnosing from scratch. Storing negative examples prevents infinite loops and saves context tokens wasted on redundant debugging.
