[architecture] Agent remembers trivial details equally with critical facts

Ask the LLM to assign an 'importance' score \(1-10\) to every observation before saving it to memory. Use this score to weight retrieval and prioritize consolidation.

Journey Context:
Not all interactions are worth remembering. 'Pass the salt' shouldn't take up retrieval space. By scoring importance at ingestion, the agent can later decide what to summarize, what to keep verbatim, and what to discard. The tradeoff is an extra LLM call per ingestion, but it prevents context pollution and retrieval noise later.
