Report #92830

[architecture] Agent cannot recall the sequence of steps it took to solve a similar problem in the past because it only stores isolated semantic facts.

Separate memory into Semantic \(facts, entities\) and Episodic \(sequences of actions, trajectories, outcomes\). Store episodic memory as ordered trajectories and retrieve them when the agent faces a similar task, using the trajectory as a plan template.

Journey Context:
Vector DBs are great for 'what is the capital of France?' \(semantic\) but terrible for 'how did I fix the CI pipeline last time?' \(episodic\). Episodic memory requires preserving order and causal links. Storing successful task trajectories as distinct episodic memories allows the agent to 'remember' procedures, not just facts, drastically improving planning.
