[architecture] Old memories polluting current context window

Implement a two-tier memory system \(core working memory vs. archival memory\) and use recency-weighted retrieval scoring. Only promote archival memories to working memory if they exceed a strict relevance threshold, and evict them once the immediate task is done.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump all retrieved vector embeddings into the prompt. If a user asks a new question, old, slightly similar memories override the current intent, causing the agent to hallucinate or repeat past actions. The tradeoff is recall vs. precision: you lose some long-tail recall, but you gain precision on the current task by keeping the context window clean.
