refactor(memory): remove flush_memories entirely (#15696)
The AIAgent.flush_memories pre-compression save, the gateway _flush_memories_for_session, and everything feeding them are obsolete now that the background memory/skill review handles persistent memory extraction. Problems with flush_memories: - Pre-dates the background review loop. It was the only memory-save path when introduced; the background review now fires every 10 user turns on CLI and gateway alike, which is far more frequent than compression or session reset ever triggered flush. - Blocking and synchronous. Pre-compression flush ran on the live agent before compression, blocking the user-visible response. - Cache-breaking. Flush built a temporary conversation prefix (system prompt + memory-only tool list) that diverged from the live conversation's cached prefix, invalidating prompt caching. The gateway variant spawned a fresh AIAgent with its own clean prompt for each finalized session — still cache-breaking, just in a different process. - Redundant. Background review runs in the live conversation's session context, gets the same content, writes to the same memory store, and doesn't break the cache. Everything flush_memories claimed to preserve is already covered. What this removes: - AIAgent.flush_memories() method (~248 LOC in run_agent.py) - Pre-compression flush call in _compress_context - flush_memories call sites in cli.py (/new + exit) - GatewayRunner._flush_memories_for_session + _async_flush_memories (and the 3 call sites: session expiry watcher, /new, /resume) - 'flush_memories' entry from DEFAULT_CONFIG auxiliary tasks, hermes tools UI task list, auxiliary_client docstrings - _memory_flush_min_turns config + init - #15631's headroom-deduction math in _check_compression_model_feasibility (headroom was only needed because flush dragged the full main-agent system prompt along; the compression summariser sends a single user-role prompt so new_threshold = aux_context is safe again) - The dedicated test files and assertions that exercised flush-specific paths What this renames (with read-time backcompat on sessions.json): - SessionEntry.memory_flushed -> SessionEntry.expiry_finalized. The session-expiry watcher still uses the flag to avoid re-running finalize/eviction on the same expired session; the new name reflects what it now actually gates. from_dict() reads 'expiry_finalized' first, falls back to the legacy 'memory_flushed' key so existing sessions.json files upgrade seamlessly. Supersedes #15631 and #15638. Tested: 383 targeted tests pass across run_agent/, agent/, cli/, and gateway/ session-boundary suites. No behavior regressions — background memory review continues to handle persistent memory extraction on both CLI and gateway.
