[architecture] Storing all memories as flat text chunks in a single vector collection, destroying temporal ordering

Partition memory into distinct stores: Semantic \(facts, API schemas, user preferences\) and Episodic \(chronological sequences of actions, past trajectories\).

Journey Context:
Flat vector stores destroy temporal context. If an agent tries to remember 'how I fixed the Docker build last time,' a semantic search returns isolated steps, not the ordered sequence. Episodic memory preserves the trajectory \(A -> B -> C\) which is critical for multi-hop reasoning and replicating past successes without missing intermediate steps.
