[architecture] Agent memory grows infinitely, degrading vector search quality and increasing storage costs \(memory bloat\)

Implement a memory consolidation and pruning loop. Periodically score memories by access frequency and recency. Consolidate similar memories into a single generalized memory, and hard-delete the orphans.

Journey Context:
Agents that never forget eventually suffer from retrieval collisions \(too many similar vectors\) and high latency. Humans forget for a reason. Tradeoff: deleting memories might remove edge-case knowledge. Alternative: archiving to cold storage. Best call: active consolidation \(merging\) rather than just deletion, preserving the signal while reducing the noise.
