argenis de la rosa bb7006313c feat(memory): layered architecture upgrade + remove mem0 backend
Implement 6-phase memory system improvement:
- Multi-stage retrieval pipeline (cache → FTS → vector)
- Namespace isolation with strict filtering
- Importance scoring (category + keyword heuristics)
- Conflict resolution via Jaccard similarity + superseded_by
- Audit trail decorator (AuditedMemory<M>)
- Policy engine (quotas, read-only namespaces, retention rules)
- Deterministic sort tiebreaker on equal scores

Remove mem0 (OpenMemory) backend — all capabilities now covered
natively with better performance (local SQLite vs external REST API).

46 battle tests + 262 existing tests pass. Backward-compatible:
existing databases auto-migrate, existing configs work unchanged.

//! Multi-stage retrieval pipeline.
//!
//! Wraps a `Memory` trait object with staged retrieval:
//! - **Stage 1 (Hot cache):** In-memory LRU of recent recall results.
//! - **Stage 2 (FTS):** FTS5 keyword search with optional early-return.
//! - **Stage 3 (Vector):** Vector similarity search + hybrid merge.
//!
//! Configurable via `[memory]` settings: `retrieval_stages`, `fts_early_return_score`.
