"""Memory store β€” lightweight in-memory RAG for the agent.
Stores high-quality past interactions and retrieves relevant context
for new queries using hybrid retrieval: semantic vector search (first
stage) followed by keyword-based re-ranking (second stage).
Design decisions:
- In-memory storage (no external DB) with FIFO eviction at max_entries.
- Two-stage retrieval: vector search β†’ keyword re-rank β†’ top_k.
- Enhanced keyword matching: Jaccard + synonym expansion + substring
boost + summary weighting + time-decay.
- Deduplication prevents redundant entries from near-identical queries.
- Relevance threshold to prevent injecting noise into the pipeline.
- Graceful fallback to keyword-only if embeddings unavailable.
- Thread-safe for concurrent FastAPI requests.
