Project Trident: Four-Tier Persistent Memory Architecture

Problem: OpenClaw agents lose context between sessions, crash, lose identity, and can't recover from failure. Default memory is shallow, fragile, and doesn't support autonomous growth.

Solution: Trident is a production-grade four-tier memory system combining SQLite durability, semantic organization, agentic signal routing, and automated backup/recovery.
