[architecture] Memory store growing indefinitely with redundant or conflicting facts

Implement a periodic 'reflection' phase where the agent synthesizes multiple lower-level observations into higher-level insights, updating or deleting the redundant original memories.

Journey Context:
Over time, an agent will accumulate conflicting memories \(e.g., 'user likes Python' on day 1, 'user is switching to Go' on day 10\). If both exist in the vector store, retrieval becomes non-deterministic and contradictory. A reflection mechanism \(e.g., triggered periodically or when memory count exceeds a threshold\) prompts the LLM to review recent memories, deduce higher-level abstractions, and resolve conflicts, then deletes the obsolete raw observations. This keeps the memory store dense, accurate, and highly retrievable, preventing the vector DB from becoming a chaotic dumping ground.
