[architecture] Old memories polluting current context window

Implement a two-phase retrieval: semantic search followed by a temporal/recency filter, and use an LLM-as-a-judge step to score current relevance before injecting into the context window.

Journey Context:
Naively injecting top-k vector results brings in outdated facts \(e.g., user's old address\). People try to fix this with just metadata filtering, but semantic similarity doesn't equal current relevance. The tradeoff is latency/cost of the judge step vs. accuracy of the context. Right call because context window space is the most expensive real estate in an LLM call.
