[architecture] Agent embeds and stores raw conversational turns leading to bloated and noisy memory retrieval

Run an extraction step on conversational turns before memory insertion. Store structured facts \(subject-predicate-object triples or concise bullet points\) rather than raw text chunks.

Journey Context:
Embedding raw chat history is easy but highly inefficient. Raw turns contain filler, pleasantries, and redundant information. When retrieved, they waste context window tokens and dilute the instruction signal. Extracting structured insights requires an extra LLM call per turn, increasing latency and cost. However, it compresses memory, deduplicates facts, and makes retrieval significantly more precise, which pays dividends over long sessions.
