[architecture] Storing raw conversation logs as episodic memory, causing massive token waste and retrieval noise

Periodically run a background consolidation process that synthesizes raw episodic memories into generalized semantic facts, then archive or delete the raw episodes.

Journey Context:
Raw conversation logs are noisy, containing pleasantries, failed attempts, and redundant information. If an agent retrieves raw logs, it wastes context window tokens on useless tokens. The human brain consolidates episodic memories during sleep into semantic knowledge. Similarly, agents should use an LLM to reflect on recent episodic memories \(e.g., 'What are the 3 key takeaways from this chat?'\) and store those dense semantic facts. The raw episodes can then be dropped or moved to cold storage, drastically improving retrieval signal-to-noise ratio and reducing storage costs.
