[architecture] Agent acts on a task without prior context, repeating past mistakes or asking redundant questions

Adopt a memory-first execution loop: the agent's initial step must always be to query long-term memory based on the user intent before planning or acting.

Journey Context:
Standard agent loops are Observe-Think-Act. If memory is just a passive database queried occasionally, the agent repeats itself or ignores historical preferences. By making the loop Memory-Observe-Think-Act, the agent ensures historical context shapes the plan. The tradeoff is a slight latency addition on every turn due to the retrieval step, but it prevents context-blind actions and drastically improves user experience.
