[architecture] Vector store grows indefinitely, degrading search performance and increasing retrieval noise over time

Implement a memory curation process \(e.g., a periodic background agent\) that consolidates episodic memories into higher-level semantic memories and deletes the raw episodic events.

Journey Context:
Every interaction creates a memory. Over time, the vector store becomes a dumping ground of highly specific, low-value events. This drowns out important signals. A curation agent that summarizes frequent events into semantic memory and deletes the raw events keeps the store lean. The tradeoff is the infrastructure cost of running background curation vs. the degradation of retrieval quality.
