[architecture] Agent memory grows unbounded and retrieval quality degrades

Implement a periodic consolidation job that clusters similar memories, generates higher-level summaries, and deletes the redundant raw memories.

Journey Context:
Without consolidation, the vector space gets crowded with near-duplicates. Retrieval returns slight variations of the same point instead of diverse context, degrading answer quality. The Generative Agents architecture solves this by introducing a 'Reflection' mechanism that synthesizes higher-level observations from multiple lower-level memories, effectively garbage-collecting the raw inputs.
