feat(atlas): lossless context + memory subsystem from hermes-lcm and gbrain

Implements the ATLAS (Adaptive Turn-Lineage Archival System) lossless
memory subsystem as described in issue #985. All 183 fixture-backed
tests pass.

agent/atlas/ — modular ATLAS package:
- turns.py: RawTurnStore, immutable append-only turn records with stable
  lineage IDs (session_id:seq:06d format). Turns are never deleted.
- dag.py: SummaryDAGStore, compaction that creates summary nodes storing
  source_turn_ids — every compaction is traceable back to raw turns.
- stores.py: WorldKnowledgeStore, DurableMemoryStore, SessionStateStore
  with strict routing (no mixed bucket).
- extractor.py: TypedLinkExtractor, deterministic regex-based extraction
  of 7 typed relation types on every write (no LLM calls):
  DEFINES, MODIFIES, REFERENCES, DEPENDS_ON, CONTRADICTS, PREFERS, LOCATES
- recall.py: RecallEngine with 3 explicit recall ops: search/describe/expand
- db.py: AtlasDB SQLite connection/schema bootstrap

agent/atlas_memory.py — AtlasMemory facade (higher-level API)
agent/lossless_context.py — JSONL-based lossless context subsystem
plugins/memory/atlas/ — MemoryProvider plugin wiring into Hermes lifecycle
tools/lossless_recall_tool.py — lossless_recall tool (search/describe/expand)
tools/memory_tool.py — extended with world_knowledge store target

tests/ — 183 fixture-backed tests covering all acceptance criteria:
- Every turn persisted with stable lineage IDs ✅
- Compaction builds retrievable summary DAG nodes with source references ✅
- 3 explicit recall operations (search/describe/expand) ✅
- Writes route to explicit stores (no mixed bucket) ✅
- 7 typed relation types with fixture-backed tests ✅
- test_recover_fact_from_compacted_context proves fact recovery without
  re-injecting the full original transcript ✅

Fixes #985

+"""ATLAS — Lossless Context + Memory Subsystem for Hermes.
+
+ATLAS (Adaptive Turn-Lineage Archival System) replaces destructive context
+truncation with a three-tier store and summary DAG compaction.
+
+Design goals (from hermes-lcm + gbrain):
+- **Lossless**: every turn is persisted with a stable lineage ID before it
+  can ever be evicted from the active context window.
+- **DAG compaction**: when the context window fills, ATLAS produces a summary
+  DAG node that references its source turns — history is never deleted.
+- **Three explicit stores**: writes are routed to the correct bucket:
+    - ``world_knowledge``: static facts about the world / domain
+    - ``durable_memory``: user preferences, corrections, long-lived facts
+    - ``session_state``: current-session working notes (ephemeral)
+- **Typed links**: deterministic relation extraction on every write.
+- **Recall tools**: the agent can call ``atlas_search``, ``atlas_describe``,
+  and ``atlas_expand`` to reach compacted history without re-injecting
+  the full original transcript.

+             stable lineage ID (e.g. 'session:42' or 'session:summary:3').
+             Returns original content plus any typed links extracted from it.
+
+  expand   — expand a summary node to show the original source turns it was
+             compacted from. Proves the agent can recover facts from compacted
+             context without re-injecting the full original transcript.
+
+This tool complements session_search (which searches across past sessions via
+FTS5). lossless_recall operates over the current session's raw turn store and
