[architecture] Vector database growing infinitely, degrading search performance and increasing retrieval latency and cost

Implement a memory curation pipeline that periodically evaluates memories for importance and deletes or archives low-importance, redundant, or highly decayed vectors.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to treat memory as append-only. But vector search quality degrades as the density of similar vectors increases \(the needle in a larger haystack problem\). Agents that remember every single trivial step dilute the semantic space. You need a background process that consolidates duplicates and drops trivialities, much like human sleep cycles.
