[architecture] Agent saves useless conversational filler to long-term memory

Never dump raw text chunks into the vector store. Implement an explicit 'reflection' step where an LLM extracts discrete, atomic facts \(triples: subject-predicate-object\) from the conversation before persisting them.

Journey Context:
A common mistake is to chunk the conversation every N turns and embed the chunks. This leads to massive duplication, wasted embedding storage, and terrible retrieval because the chunk contains filler \('ok', 'thanks', 'sure'\) alongside the actual fact. The tradeoff is that an LLM extraction step adds latency and cost per turn. However, storing atomic facts drastically improves retrieval precision and allows for graph construction, making it the right call for any agent that needs to remember things over days or weeks.
