Report #99301

[architecture] Agent's memory fills with tool noise, transient reasoning, and duplicate facts

Persist only facts, decisions, and tool-use guidelines; do not persist raw chain-of-thought, full tool output, or ephemeral UI state. Deduplicate facts into structured blocks and let the agent choose when to update them.

Journey Context:
A common mistake is to vector-embed every message and tool call. That pollutes retrieval with low-signal chunks and makes the agent recall its own speculation as fact. Letta's memory blocks guide separates core memory \(always-visible facts the agent can edit\) from searchable recall and archival. Store user facts in a human block, behavior guidelines in persona/tool-use blocks, and leave conversation details in recall storage. The rule of thumb: if a human wouldn't write it into a profile note, don't put it in long-term memory.
