[architecture] Agent loses core personality and user preferences across sessions

Maintain a Core Memory block—a structured, editable text block kept permanently in the system prompt, updated dynamically during the session, and persisted to a standard database \(not a vector DB\) between sessions.

Journey Context:
Vector DBs are terrible for storing facts that must always be remembered because retrieval is probabilistic. If a fact is critical, it must be in the context window. By keeping a structured Core Memory in the prompt, the agent always has its baseline identity. The agent needs tool calls to edit this block, ensuring it stays concise and up-to-date.
