[architecture] Agent memory filling up with useless raw conversational noise

Use a 'reflection' or 'consolidation' step: before writing to long-term memory, use an LLM call to extract structured, discrete facts \(triplets or key-value pairs\) from the raw text, and discard the raw text.

Journey Context:
Storing raw chat logs or entire document chunks into the vector DB feels easy but creates massive noise. When retrieved, the agent gets conversational filler instead of actionable facts. Reflection/consolidation mimics human sleep cycles where short-term episodic memory is distilled into long-term semantic memory. The tradeoff is an extra LLM call per memory write, increasing latency and cost, but it drastically improves retrieval precision and reduces storage bloat.
