[architecture] Agent state is scattered across prompt templates and code variables

Centralize all mutable agent state into a dedicated memory object \(or state store\) that is injected into the prompt at render time, rather than hardcoding state in string concatenations.

Journey Context:
When building agents, it is easy to mutate string variables in code to track state \(e.g., prompt \+= f'Current step: \{step\}'\). This breaks down when context windows fill up, or when you need to save/restore a session. By centralizing state into a structured memory object, you decouple state management from prompt rendering. This allows you to apply transformations \(like summarization or eviction\) to the memory object before it hits the LLM, making the agent robust to long conversations.
