[architecture] Vector similarity overrides temporal recency in agent memory

Combine dense vector similarity scores with time-decay weights using Reciprocal Rank Fusion or a weighted sum, ensuring recent state changes override historical facts even if the historical embedding is slightly closer.

Journey Context:
A user might say 'I moved to New York' years ago, and 'I moved to London' yesterday. Pure vector search for 'Where do I live?' might return New York if the embedding is slightly closer. Time-weighting ensures recent state changes override historical facts, preventing stale memory retrieval.
