[architecture] Agent loses critical tool outputs after the immediate turn, forcing redundant tool calls

Implement an automatic memory write-back step for high-signal tool outputs \(e.g., API responses, file reads\) into the long-term memory store, rather than just discarding them after rendering to the LLM.

Journey Context:
In standard ReAct loops, a tool's output is appended to the prompt for the current turn, but if the context window slides or the session extends, that output is lost. If the agent needs that data later, it re-runs the tool, wasting time and money, or fails if the tool is stateful/destructive. The tradeoff is storage cost and potential noise from saving raw JSON, which can be mitigated by having the LLM summarize the tool output before saving.
