Merge branch 'main' into feature-isolated-memory

This change makes it easier to use a specific memory type without unintentionally enabling all others.

Previously, setting memory=True would implicitly configure all available memories (like LTM and STM), which might not be ideal in all cases. For example, when building a chatbot that only needs an external memory, users were forced to also configure LTM and STM — which rely on default OpenAPI embeddings — even if they weren’t needed.

With this update, users can now define a single memory in isolation, making the configuration process simpler and more flexible.
