Report #29276

[architecture] Agent accumulating thousands of conflicting or redundant memories over time

Implement a periodic 'reflection' or 'consolidation' background task that synthesizes multiple lower-level memories into higher-level insights and deletes the originals.

Journey Context:
Without consolidation, the vector store fills with contradictions \(e.g., 'User likes Python', 'User now prefers Rust'\). Simple deduplication doesn't capture the temporal evolution of preferences. The tradeoff is background processing cost and potential loss of granular audit trail versus maintaining a coherent, non-contradictory world model for the agent.
