Report #7718

[architecture] Treating memory as just another tool the LLM has to explicitly decide to call, leading to agents forgetting to search their memory

Make memory retrieval an implicit, automatic step in the agent loop \(memory-first\), triggered before tool execution or response generation, rather than an explicit tool the agent must invoke.

Journey Context:
LLMs are bad at knowing what they don't know. If memory search is a tool, the agent often skips it and hallucinates an answer based on parametric memory. Automatic, implicit retrieval on every user turn guarantees the context is enriched with relevant past data without relying on the LLM's reasoning to call the search tool.
