[architecture] Stuffing all retrieved memory chunks directly into the LLM context window

Use a summarization/rolling buffer for recent context, and strict top-k with high relevance thresholding for long-term vector retrieval. Only inject what directly answers the current reasoning step.

Journey Context:
LLMs suffer from "lost in the middle" and distraction when context is bloated. Vector stores return semantic neighbors, but not all are logically relevant. Injecting raw chunks often leads to contradictory instructions or confused generation. The tradeoff is recall vs. precision; high recall via large context injection degrades the LLM's reasoning precision.
