[architecture] Agent remembers every trivial interaction, degrading retrieval precision

Implement memory consolidation: summarize episodic memories into semantic facts and discard the raw conversational episodes.

Journey Context:
Storing every conversational turn as a separate vector leads to an exploding index and noisy retrieval. Human memory consolidates: short-term episodic memory is forgotten or compressed into semantic memory \(e.g., 'I like Italian food' instead of 'on Tuesday I ate pasta'\). Agents must mimic this consolidation to keep the memory store high-signal and prevent the vector database from becoming a noisy swamp.
