[frontier] Agent long-term memory retrieval failing due to unstructured episodic bloat

Implement a background Memory Consolidation worker that periodically compresses raw episodic memories \(chat logs\) into semantic core memories \(structured facts/preferences\) using a smaller, cheaper model.

Journey Context:
Storing every conversation turn in a vector database makes long-term memory noisy and hard to search accurately \(the 'finding a needle in a haystack of needles' problem\). Inspired by human sleep cycles, production systems now run asynchronous consolidation jobs. A cheap model reads old raw messages, extracts or updates core facts in a structured graph/DB, and deletes the raw messages. This keeps the memory index small, highly searchable, and semantically rich.
