[architecture] Memory growing infinitely, degrading retrieval precision and increasing cost

Implement a time-decay scoring mechanism \(e.g., exponential decay on access timestamp\) and periodically consolidate or delete low-scoring memories.

Journey Context:
Infinite accumulation leads to retrieval collisions \(many similar vectors returning\) and stale facts. Human memory forgets; agents must too. Tradeoff: aggressive decay might lose long-term preferences, so 'core' memories \(user profile\) should be exempt from decay, while 'episodic' \(task-specific\) memories should decay rapidly.
