Sprint 3: memory_homeostasis.py — budget, archive, consolidation, Q-retriever

+memory_homeostasis.py — Bounded memory with consolidation, hibernation, and archive.
+
+Solves: active memory must be bounded; archived evidence must remain recoverable.
+
+Components:
+  - MemoryBudget: hard limits on active cards, injected tokens, per-kind caps
+  - MemoryArchive: append-only cold storage (JSONL or SQLite)
+  - ConsolidationEngine: cluster → merge → compress → hibernate
+  - QFunctionRetriever: budget-aware ranking with recency decay and diversity
+
+Triggers:
+  - On N new memories
+  - On active_cards > max_active_cards
+  - On injected_tokens > max_injected_tokens
+  - Manual: team.consolidate_memory()
+
+Invariant: active injected memory NEVER exceeds token budget.
