Report #8259

[architecture] Strictly structured memory extraction drops nuanced context or fails on unexpected conversation patterns

Use a hybrid extraction approach: extract core entities and relations into a structured schema \(for graph/SQL queries\), but also store the raw text chunk in a vector store. Link them via IDs so the agent can query the structure but retrieve the raw context when nuance is needed.

Journey Context:
Developers often force LLMs to extract memories into rigid JSON schemas to keep databases clean. However, LLMs frequently drop nuance, humor, or conditional logic when forced into strict schemas. The hybrid approach \(structured plus unstructured\) trades storage efficiency for retrieval fidelity. You get the speed and determinism of structured queries, but the agent can fall back to the raw text to resolve ambiguity or extract tone.
