[frontier] Context window overflow and information loss in long-running sessions

Implement tiered memory architecture: Working \(current task context\), Episodic \(summarized recent events with recency retrieval\), and Semantic \(knowledge graph/facts with similarity retrieval\).

Journey Context:
Monolithic context windows fail in long sessions, either truncating critical history or exceeding token limits. Production systems now explicitly separate memory into three tiers: Working memory \(immediate task scratchpad\), Episodic memory \(time-ordered event summaries retrieved by recency\), and Semantic memory \(entities and facts stored in vector/GraphRAG\). Each tier uses distinct retrieval strategies \(recency decay vs. cosine similarity\), allowing unlimited session length without losing critical context.
