[frontier] Context window overflow and information retrieval failures in long-running agent conversations

Implement three-tier memory hierarchy with automatic compression: context window, working memory, and archival storage with semantic retrieval

Journey Context:
Simple RAG fails for long conversations because it lacks temporal context and importance weighting. Production systems now use tiered memory: hot context for immediate use, working memory for recent events with importance scoring, and archival with semantic search. Automatic summarization moves data between tiers based on relevance scores and token budgets, ensuring critical information remains accessible while preventing context window overflow.
