[architecture] Only storing raw observations as isolated vectors, leading to fragmented and contradictory memory retrieval

Implement a periodic 'reflection' step where the agent synthesizes lower-level observations into higher-level insights, storing these synthesized memories separately.

Journey Context:
Raw observations \(e.g., 'user likes red', 'user bought blue', 'user returned blue'\) are contradictory when retrieved individually. Without synthesis, the agent cannot resolve the conflict. Reflection \(asking the LLM 'what can I infer from these recent memories?'\) creates a new, higher-level memory \('user likes red in theory but returns blue items'\). The tradeoff is compute cost \(running LLM inference for reflection\) and latency, but it drastically reduces hallucination caused by contradictory context injection.
