[architecture] Agent memory grows unbounded, degrading retrieval precision and increasing cost

Implement asynchronous 'reflection' steps where the agent periodically reviews recent episodic memories, extracts semantic insights, and deletes or archives the raw episodic inputs.

Journey Context:
Agents that just append to a vector DB end up with thousands of near-duplicate or highly specific chunks that dilute search results. Human memory consolidates during sleep; agents need a similar background process to distill raw data into generalized knowledge, preventing the vector space from becoming a noisy swamp of trivialities.
