Alexander Whitestone f8dabae8eb feat: MemPalace integration — skill port, retrieval enforcer, wake-up protocol (#367)
MP-1 (#368): Port PalaceRoom + Mempalace classes with 22 unit tests
MP-2 (#369): L0-L5 retrieval order enforcer with recall-query detection
MP-5 (#372): Wake-up protocol (300-900 token context), session scratchpad

Modules:
- mempalace.py: PalaceRoom + Mempalace dataclasses, factory constructors
- retrieval_enforcer.py: Layered memory retrieval (identity → palace → scratch → gitea → skills)
- wakeup.py: Session wake-up with caching (5min TTL)
- scratchpad.py: JSON-based session notes with palace promotion

All 65 tests pass. Pure stdlib + graceful degradation for ONNX issues (#373).
