[architecture] Agent relies on scattered low-level observations instead of synthesized higher-level insights

Implement a periodic 'reflection' or 'consolidation' step. When episodic memory reaches a threshold, trigger an LLM to synthesize these low-level memories into higher-level semantic summaries, then store the summary as a new memory node linked to the source observations.

Journey Context:
Raw observations \(e.g., 'user clicked X', 'user asked about Y'\) are too granular for high-level reasoning \('user is interested in Z'\). If an agent only searches raw observations, it cannot answer abstract questions about user preferences without retrieving and reasoning over hundreds of chunks. Reflection synthesizes these into actionable insights, drastically reducing the retrieval load and improving answer quality, at the cost of background compute.
