Report #76096

[architecture] Writing to the vector store or database synchronously during the agent's reasoning loop

Decouple memory writes from the agent's critical path using an event-driven or asynchronous write-behind log.

Journey Context:
Embedding a memory and upserting it to a vector DB takes 50-200ms. If the agent does this mid-reasoning, it slows down the response. Async writes mean the memory might not be immediately available for the next step in the same turn, but this is usually acceptable since agents rarely need to read what they just wrote in the exact same LLM call.
