[architecture] Agent memory grows indefinitely causing retrieval degradation

Implement a memory decay score based on recency and frequency, and periodically evict or summarize memories below a threshold.

Journey Context:
Infinite accumulation makes vector search noisy \(the needle in a growing haystack problem\) and increases storage costs. People often just keep everything. By scoring memories based on recency and frequency, you can actively manage the working set. Old, rarely accessed facts should be rolled up into summaries or deleted to maintain high-signal retrieval.
