Report #1596

[architecture] Agent memory grows infinitely causing retrieval noise and storage bloat

Implement exponential decay scoring on memory records based on access frequency and recency. Periodically run a curation job to archive or delete memories below a threshold, or consolidate them into higher-level summaries.

Journey Context:
Storing every interaction forever makes the vector space noisy—similar but outdated memories get retrieved, confusing the agent. Human memory naturally decays unless reinforced. Implementing a decay score allows the system to naturally prune irrelevant daily logs while keeping critical, frequently accessed facts. Consolidation \(summarization\) compresses redundant memories into single, high-density representations.
