[architecture] Unbounded memory accumulation degrades retrieval precision

Implement a memory consolidation step that summarizes, merges, or deletes redundant and contradictory memories at the end of a session or periodically.

Journey Context:
Naive agents just append new memories continuously. Over time, the embedding space gets crowded with near-duplicates, outdated facts, and trivial observations, causing retrieval collisions and degraded RAG precision \(the 'attention sink' of memory\). Just as human memory consolidates during sleep, an agent must periodically compress episodic memories into higher-level semantic insights and discard the raw chaff to maintain a high-signal embedding space.
