Report #95583

[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of conversation history or repeats completed steps

Implement MemGPT-style tiered memory: recent turns verbatim, older turns summarized; include a 'working memory' scratchpad in the context

Journey Context:
Linear context windows force dropping old messages, losing critical facts \(e.g., 'user already approved step 3'\). Hierarchical memory mimics OS virtual memory: active data in RAM \(recent turns\), inactive paged to disk \(summaries\). This is critical for long-horizon agents \(>20 turns\) to prevent catastrophic forgetting of initial instructions.
