[architecture] Cross-session agent feels like it's starting from scratch every time

Persist agent state \(memory, tools, configuration\) to a store and reload it on startup; don't just save conversation logs.

Journey Context:
Saving chat history is not enough. An agent's 'self' includes its memory systems, tool bindings, and config. Letta's approach is to serialize the full agent state—including core memory, recall memory, and tool schemas—to a database so the agent resumes with identity and context intact. The pitfall is treating persistence as an afterthought: if you only log messages, reconstructing state requires re-embedding everything and loses memory-management decisions made during the session.
