// lc-agents/src/executor/semantic_memory.rs
//! B4 (v0.22.4): [`AgentExecutor`] wiring for the two-tier semantic memory.
//!
//! One [`SemanticMemoryHook`] holds everything a single run needs:
//! - **Recall before planning** — [`SemanticMemoryHook::recall`] searches the
//!   shared [`TwoTierMemory`] in the configured namespace and formats the hits
//!   into a delimited block injected into the run's `inputs` under
//!   [`SEMANTIC_MEMORY_INPUT_KEY`]. Recall is best-effort: a store failure warns
//!   and degrades to "no memories", never failing the run.
//! - **Extraction after the final answer** —
//!   [`SemanticMemoryHook::spawn_extraction`] moves the turn into a **detached**
//!   `tokio::spawn` task: the [`MemoryExtractor`] call, the `put`s and the
//!   short→long consolidation all happen off the caller's task, so a slow
//!   extraction model can never block the agent loop or delay the answer.
//!   Every failure inside the task is logged only.
