Implement proper episodic memory clustering#131
Conversation
Replaces the simulated finding of episodic clusters with a proper density-based clustering algorithm using `DBSCAN` and cosine distance from `scikit-learn`. Implements graceful fallbacks if database tools are mocked during tests or missing. Co-authored-by: wjohns989 <56205870+wjohns989@users.noreply.github.com>

Code Review
This pull request implements DBSCAN-based clustering for episodic memory distillation and introduces scikit-learn as a dependency. The review identifies several high-priority issues, including architectural violations from accessing private members and including test-specific mock checks in production code. Technical feedback highlights missing await keywords, inefficient N+1 query patterns for vector retrieval, and the risk of blocking the event loop with CPU-intensive operations. Recommendations were also made to eliminate redundant database queries and refine exception handling for better error visibility.

Accessing private members (_metadata, _vectors) via getattr violates encapsulation and the project's architecture. This logic should be encapsulated within the MuninnMemory class or the cluster_engine to maintain proper abstraction boundaries, as per the Evidence-Driven Logic mandate in the Repository Style Guide.

This section contains several critical efficiency and correctness issues: 1) metadata_store.get_all and vector_store.get_vector appear to be missing await keywords, which will likely cause the logic to fail as they return coroutines. 2) The loop implements an N+1 query pattern by fetching vectors individually. Use a batch retrieval method (e.g., vector_store.get_vectors) to fetch all vectors in a single operation.

Including explicit checks for MagicMock and AsyncMock in production code is a violation of the Production-Grade Only mandate. This makes the core logic brittle and leaks testing concerns into the engine. Fallback behavior should be handled through robust interface design rather than inspecting mock class names.

DBSCAN.fit is a CPU-intensive operation. Executing it directly within an async method will block the event loop and degrade the responsiveness of the MCP server. Offload this calculation to a thread pool using asyncio.to_thread to maintain system concurrency.

The call to metadata_store.get_by_ids is redundant because the metadata objects are already present in the cluster_members list. Re-fetching them from the store adds unnecessary latency and database load.

Catching a generic Exception can mask critical bugs and unexpected states. When handling exceptions from the qdrant-client, catch specific exceptions such as UnexpectedResponse for HTTP errors and ResponseHandlingException for connectivity issues, rather than a generic Exception.

MemoryType enum to get_all
SQLiteMetadataStore.get_all expects memory_type to be a MemoryType and unconditionally reads memory_type.value; passing the string 'episodic' raises AttributeError on real stores, so the DBSCAN branch always fails and drops into the fallback path instead of running the new clustering logic. In environments where the fallback engine is unavailable or failing, this also breaks distillation cycles entirely.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

This query pulls all unarchived episodic memories globally, and later the cluster is written under the leader's namespace/project while all member IDs are archived together; when similar memories exist across namespaces/projects, a single cluster can mix tenants and cause cross-scope summarization plus unintended archival of other scopes' records. The previous clustering flow constrained neighbors by namespace, so this is a behavioral regression for multi-tenant isolation.

Implements vector density based clustering (DBSCAN) for episodic memories instead of simulating it.
