[architecture] Agent memory grows infinitely causing retrieval degradation and hallucination

Apply a time-decay weighting to memory importance scores, and periodically consolidate or archive low-scoring memories into summaries rather than deleting them outright.

Journey Context:
Storing every interaction or observation leads to a bloated vector store where mundane facts drown out critical ones. Simple deletion loses historical context. The solution is a decay curve \(e.g., exponential decay on access count or time\) combined with a rolling up mechanism—summarizing old, low-access memories into higher-level insights, mimicking human memory consolidation.
