[architecture] Storing raw conversation history as long-term memory

Separate episodic memory \(raw transcripts\) from semantic memory \(extracted facts\). Use an LLM to distill conversational turns into discrete, structured facts before saving to the long-term vector store, and discard the raw episodic data unless specifically needed for audit.

Journey Context:
Naively chunking and embedding chat logs leads to terrible retrieval because the surrounding context is missing, and the user's intent is buried in back-and-forth dialogue. Extracting facts \(e.g., 'User prefers dark mode'\) makes retrieval deterministic and saves context window space. MemGPT formalizes this core memory vs archival memory distinction.
