[architecture] Saving every conversational turn or low-value interaction into long-term memory

Implement an importance scoring step before writing to long-term memory. Ask the LLM to rate the importance of a memory on a scale \(e.g., 1-10\) before embedding and storing it. Only persist memories above a certain threshold.

Journey Context:
Storing everything seems safe \(no data loss\) but destroys the signal-to-noise ratio during retrieval. Storing nothing loses cross-session capability. The tradeoff is an extra LLM call per memory write vs. long-term retrieval quality. This is the right call because retrieval noise is much harder to fix downstream than filtering at ingestion.
