[architecture] Agent storing raw conversation logs as memory instead of extracted insights

Implement an asynchronous reflection step where the LLM processes episodic memories \(raw interactions\) and extracts semantic memories \(facts, preferences, rules\) to store in the vector DB, then delete or archive the raw logs.

Journey Context:
Storing raw chat history into a vector database leads to massive redundancy, high storage costs, and poor retrieval \(searching for a preference retrieves a 10-turn chat where it was mentioned once\). The tradeoff is that reflection requires an extra LLM call per interaction, adding latency and cost. However, compressing episodic memory into semantic memory drastically improves retrieval precision and reduces context pollution in future sessions.
