[architecture] Agent remembers trivial details but forgets high-level goals, causing fragmented and unhelpful responses over long sessions

Implement an asynchronous 'reflection' step that periodically synthesizes high-level insights from multiple low-level episodic memories and stores them as separate, prioritized semantic memories.

Journey Context:
Storing raw observations is cheap but noisy. High-level insights are expensive to generate but highly dense in signal. If you only have raw observations, retrieval fails on abstract queries. If you only have high-level, you lose specifics. The tradeoff is compute cost. The solution is a two-tier memory: episodic \(raw\) and semantic \(synthesized\), with a background job running the reflection.
