[architecture] Unbounded memory growth causing retrieval degradation and cost blowout

Implement a memory decay mechanism \(e.g., exponential decay based on access frequency and recency\) and periodically consolidate or delete low-weight memories.

Journey Context:
Storing every interaction forever makes the vector space noisy, increasing the chance of retrieving irrelevant but slightly similar old data, and inflates storage costs. Simple TTLs are too rigid. A scoring function combining recency, frequency, and relevance allows organic pruning of stale facts while keeping important ones.
