Report #42234

[architecture] Agent memory grows infinitely, leading to degraded retrieval precision and no way to forget outdated information.

Implement a reflection/consolidation step that periodically merges duplicate memories, updates existing facts, and deletes memories that contradict the latest state.

Journey Context:
Agents append memories continuously. Over time, 'User lives in NY' and 'User moved to CA' both exist. Vector retrieval might pull the NY fact. Simply adding a TTL is too aggressive for stable facts. The solution is an asynchronous consolidation job that uses an LLM to evaluate clusters of memories, merge them into updated states, and delete the obsolete source chunks.
