[architecture] Agent memory growing unbounded and degrading retrieval precision over time

Implement a memory consolidation step \(e.g., during idle time or at session end\) that clusters similar memories and summarizes them into a single higher-level memory, deleting the granular originals.

Journey Context:
Appending every interaction to a vector store creates noise and duplicates. Consolidation compresses the state, removing redundancy and elevating patterns, keeping the DB size manageable and retrieval signal high. It trades exact recall of trivial steps for high-level understanding, preventing the DB from becoming an unmaintainable append-only log.
