[architecture] Blocking the agent execution loop to embed, summarize, or consolidate memories

Write raw events to a fast append-only log immediately, then process memory consolidation \(embedding, reflection, graph updates\) asynchronously in a background worker.

Journey Context:
LLM summarization and embedding generation take seconds. If an agent pauses to reflect and embed after every single action, the user experience becomes unbearably slow. Decoupling the write path \(fast, synchronous\) from the consolidation path \(slow, async\) keeps the agent responsive while ensuring long-term memory is eventually consistent.
