Report #92125

[architecture] Old retrieved memories polluting current agent context window

Implement a two-stage retrieval pipeline: dense vector retrieval followed by an LLM-as-a-judge relevance filter that prunes retrieved memories against the \*current\* step's goal before injection.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump all retrieved vectors into the prompt. Vector similarity measures semantic closeness, not task relevance. Old, semantically similar but contextually irrelevant memories waste tokens and derail reasoning. The LLM filter adds latency but prevents context window poisoning and hallucination.
