Erosika 6fe522cabd fix(honcho): buffer partial memory-context spans across stream deltas
sanitize_context() uses a non-greedy block regex that needs both
<memory-context> open and close tags present in a single string. When a
provider streams the fenced memory block across multiple deltas (typical
for recalled-context leaks — the payload often arrives in 10+ 1-80 char
chunks), the per-delta sanitize stripped the lone open/close tags via
_FENCE_TAG_RE but let the payload in between flow straight to the UI.

Adds StreamingContextScrubber: a small stateful scrubber that tracks
open/close tag pairs across deltas, holds back partial-tag tails at
chunk boundaries, and discards span contents wholesale (including the
system-note line that fragments across deltas).

Wired into _fire_stream_delta; reset per user turn; benign trailing
partial-tag tails are flushed at the end of each model call.  Mid-span
interruption (provider drops closing tag) drops the orphaned content
rather than leaking it — truncated answer > leaked memory.

Follow-up to #13672 (@dontcallmejames).

"""MemoryManager — orchestrates the built-in memory provider plus at most
ONE external plugin memory provider.
Single integration point in run_agent.py. Replaces scattered per-backend
code with one manager that delegates to registered providers.
The BuiltinMemoryProvider is always registered first and cannot be removed.
Only ONE external (non-builtin) provider is allowed at a time — attempting
to register a second external provider is rejected with a warning. This
prevents tool schema bloat and conflicting memory backends.
Usage in run_agent.py:
self._memory_manager = MemoryManager()
self._memory_manager.add_provider(BuiltinMemoryProvider(...))
# Only ONE of these:
self._memory_manager.add_provider(plugin_provider)
# System prompt
prompt_parts.append(self._memory_manager.build_system_prompt())
# Pre-turn
context = self._memory_manager.prefetch_all(user_message)
# Post-turn
self._memory_manager.sync_all(user_msg, assistant_response)
self._memory_manager.queue_prefetch_all(user_msg)
