[architecture] Agent memory database growing infinitely and degrading retrieval precision with redundant conversational turns

Implement a memory consolidation step that summarizes raw episodic interactions into dense semantic facts, then archives or deletes the raw turns.

Journey Context:
Storing every raw conversational chunk leads to vector database bloat. When the user asks a question, the retriever pulls back 10 slightly different chunks of the same event, drowning out other relevant context. Human memory consolidates short-term episodic memory into long-term semantic memory during sleep. The tradeoff is that summarization loses granular nuance, but the gain in retrieval signal-to-noise ratio and storage efficiency is critical for long-running agents.
