[architecture] Stuffing entire conversation history into context window or dumping it into a flat vector database

Implement a tiered memory architecture: short-term \(context window \+ rolling summary\), working memory \(current task state\), and long-term \(vector DB with metadata filtering\).

Journey Context:
Context windows have strict token limits and high latency; flat vector DBs lose temporal ordering and suffer from false positives on generic queries. A tiered approach keeps immediate context cheap and precise, while summaries and vector DBs handle cross-session recall. Metadata like timestamps on vector embeddings is critical to allow time-weighted retrieval later.
