Report #14468

[architecture] Old memories polluting current context window

Implement a two-stage retrieval: vector search for candidate memories, then LLM-as-a-judge relevance scoring against the current prompt before injecting into context.

Journey Context:
Dumping top-k vector results into the prompt works initially but degrades performance as the memory store grows. Irrelevant but semantically similar memories confuse the LLM and waste context window space. A secondary filtering step ensures only contextually relevant memories consume the precious context, preventing hallucination caused by conflicting old facts.
