[architecture] Storing raw conversation turns as episodic memory bloats the vector store

Extract semantic triples or concise, self-contained insights from conversations before persisting them. Store the synthesized insight, not the raw dialogue.

Journey Context:
Agents often save conversational turns directly to a vector database. This leads to massive redundancy, fragmented context \(e.g., 'yes, do that' stored without the action\), and poor retrieval because the embedding captures the conversational tone, not the underlying fact. By synthesizing memories into discrete facts or insights at write time, you pay a small compute cost upfront but drastically reduce storage, improve retrieval precision, and avoid injecting conversational noise into future prompts.
