Report #6216

[architecture] Agent saves every single tool call and interaction as raw episodic memories, leading to a bloated vector store that returns noisy, low-signal chunks during retrieval

Route agent interactions through a 'memory extraction' step \(e.g., a secondary LLM call\) that distills raw interactions into structured, semantic facts \(e.g., 'User prefers TypeScript', 'Auth module uses JWT'\) before saving. Do not save raw conversational turns.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to just embed the entire chat history or tool output into a vector DB. However, raw episodic memory is full of dead ends, failed attempts, and conversational filler. When retrieved later, the agent gets 'I tried X and it failed' instead of 'X doesn't work, use Y'. By extracting semantic facts \(declarative memory\) from episodic events, you compress the data, increase the signal-to-noise ratio of retrieval, and prevent the agent from repeating failed trajectories.
