[architecture] Long-term memory retrieval pollutes context window with stale or irrelevant facts

Use a two-stage retrieval pipeline: semantic search followed by a relevance classifier \(LLM or small model\) before injecting into the context window.

Journey Context:
Naively dumping top-k vector search results into the prompt often introduces conflicting or outdated information, degrading the LLM's reasoning. Agents need a 'working memory' filter. The tradeoff is added latency/cost for the filtering step, but it prevents context window overflow and hallucination.
