[architecture] Agent fails to synthesize high-level insights from repeated low-level interactions over time

Implement a reflection or consolidation phase. Periodically \(e.g., at session end or after N interactions\), prompt the LLM to review recent episodic memories, synthesize abstract insights, and write them as high-level semantic memories, tagging the source episodes.

Journey Context:
Just storing facts leads to an agent that knows 'User likes React', 'User likes Vue', 'User hates Angular', but never synthesizes 'User prefers lightweight, component-based frontend frameworks'. Without reflection, the agent cannot answer abstract questions about long-term user behavior. The tradeoff is the compute cost of running background consolidation jobs, but it transforms a simple key-value memory into an evolving knowledge base, drastically improving abstract reasoning over time.
