fix(memory): phase 1 tails - tool honesty, session save lock, combined extraction, curator provenance

- memory add_atom now reports 'quarantined for human review (reason: ...)'
  instead of 'added atom' when the guard scan routed the atom to
  quarantine, so the agent (and user) are not misled about what landed
  in the live store
- session Store.Save no longer holds the store mutex during embedding
  (a potential 10s HTTP call); vector-index add happens after the lock
  is released, persistence semantics unchanged
- session-end extraction uses ONE combined LLM call (summary + facts in
  a single JSON response) when both episode and fact extraction are
  enabled, with automatic fallback to the two single-purpose calls on
  parse failure; all existing safety filters preserved
- curator MergeSkills keeps the WORSE provenance of the two inputs
  (Untrusted/NeedsReview = OR, Sources = deduped union) instead of
  inheriting the keeper's trust while concatenating a tainted body
