fix: #1436

- Add integration tests with real ChromaDB
- 8 integration tests for agent memory
- Tests actual storage, retrieval, and search
- Handles ChromaDB filter limitations gracefully
- Includes persistence testing across instances

Addresses issue #1436: [TEST] No integration tests with real ChromaDB

Tests added:
1. test_remember_and_recall: Store and retrieve memories
2. test_diary_writing_and_retrieval: Write and recall diary entries
3. test_wing_filtering: Test wing-based filtering
4. test_memory_persistence: Test persistence across instances
5. test_empty_query: Test empty query handling
6. test_large_memory_storage: Test storing many memories
7. test_memory_with_metadata: Test memories with metadata
8. test_create_with_chromadb: Test factory function

All tests use real ChromaDB instance with temporary storage.
Tests skip gracefully if ChromaDB is not installed.
