[architecture] Agent repeats expensive reasoning because it can't remember intermediate conclusions

Cache derived facts, summaries, and tool outputs in a semantic memory layer; invalidate when source data changes.

Journey Context:
Without memory of prior reasoning, agents re-derive the same conclusions every turn, burning tokens and latency. The fix is to treat conclusions as first-class memory: when the agent summarizes a document, plans a task, or computes a fact, store the result with metadata about its source and validity. This is essentially a memoization layer. The danger is stale cache: you need versioning or invalidation triggers. LangChain's memory integrations and Letta's archival memory both address this, but the principle is general.
