[architecture] Treating memory as a passive database queried only when the agent lacks context

Design a dedicated Memory Manager routine that proactively evaluates and updates memory state before the main agent generates a response.

Journey Context:
If memory retrieval is just a tool the LLM has to decide to call, it will often forget to call it or call it with bad queries. Moving memory management to an automated pre/post-processing step guarantees the context is always populated with relevant history and new insights are saved, removing the cognitive load from the main LLM. The tradeoff is increased latency per turn and higher token consumption for the memory management calls.
