[architecture] Agent saves every message or tool output to long-term memory causing noisy retrieval

Implement an explicit memory extraction step. Do not save raw interactions. Use an LLM call to extract distinct, atomic facts \(triplets or short statements\) and save those, discarding the conversational chaff.

Journey Context:
Naive agents append every user message or system response to a vector store. This leads to massive duplication, high retrieval noise, and wasted embedding compute. The tradeoff is the cost of an extra LLM call for extraction vs. the long-term cost of storage and retrieval degradation. The right call is to pay the upfront cost of extraction to ensure the memory store remains dense with high-signal facts rather than sparse conversational filler.
