[architecture] Agent memory stores raw conversation chunks, making multi-hop reasoning and fact updating impossible

Extract structured semantic triples \(Subject-Predicate-Object\) or entity-centric facts during conversation, and store these in a knowledge graph or relational table alongside the vector store.

Journey Context:
When an agent learns 'User's favorite language is Python', storing the raw chat message makes it hard to update if they later say 'I switched to Rust'. A vector search might return both messages, creating a contradiction. By extracting structured facts, the agent can perform an upsert on the specific entity attribute. The tradeoff is that LLM fact extraction costs tokens and can be lossy, but it is strictly required for maintaining a consistent, non-contradictory long-term memory state.
