[architecture] Memory growing infinitely until retrieval latency and cost explode

Implement periodic memory consolidation: summarize or merge related memories into higher-level insights, and delete the raw, redundant chunks.

Journey Context:
Unbounded memory leads to vector store bloat, increasing query latency, embedding costs, and context noise. Consolidation \(e.g., every N interactions, roll up 'debugging session X' into 'lessons learned about module Y'\) compresses the memory footprint while preserving high-signal insights. Forgetting is an active, necessary feature, not a bug.
