[architecture] Agent remembers everything equally, filling memory with trivialities

Assign an importance score \(1-10\) to memories at creation time, and discard or archive low-importance memories that exceed a certain age.

Journey Context:
Storing every single step \(e.g., opened file X, typed a character\) exhausts memory limits and drowns out high-signal events \(e.g., decided to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL\). Agents need a forgetting mechanism. A common mistake is only deleting based on LRU \(Least Recently Used\). LRU deletes important but rarely accessed facts \(e.g., project root configuration\). Importance-based pruning ensures high-signal facts survive the culling process.
