[architecture] Allowing the memory store to fill with redundant, overlapping facts over time

Implement a background consolidation process \(similar to garbage collection\) that clusters similar memories, uses an LLM to merge them into a single comprehensive fact, and deletes the originals.

Journey Context:
As agents extract facts continuously, they generate duplicates. Over time, these occupy space and push the retrieval scores down due to dispersion. A consolidation worker that periodically merges overlapping memories keeps the vector store dense and high-signal. The tradeoff is background compute cost, but it prevents the retrieval degradation that inevitably plagues long-running agents.
