[architecture] Old retrieved memories polluting the current context window

Implement a memory curation step after retrieval but before injection; apply time-decay weighting and summarize older memories rather than injecting raw chunks.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump all retrieved memories directly into the prompt. This pushes out relevant current context and confuses the LLM with outdated information. You must treat the context window as a limited working memory. Filtering by recency and summarizing older states prevents stale context from overriding current instructions.
