[architecture] Leaving memory curation solely to explicit user commands or never cleaning up the memory store

Implement an asynchronous "reflection" or "consolidation" step where the agent periodically reviews recent episodic memories, synthesizes them into higher-level semantic insights, and deletes the raw episodic chunks.

Journey Context:
Raw episodic memory \(e.g., "user asked for X", "user asked for Y"\) accumulates linearly, increasing retrieval noise and cost. Synthesizing \("user frequently asks about X and Y, likely working on Z"\) compresses memory and extracts actionable value. The tradeoff is compute cost for background reflection vs. long-term memory quality; without it, the agent becomes a hoarder of trivial facts.
