fix(memory): add minimum-length filter for auto-save messages

Every user message was auto-saved to memory regardless of length,
flooding the store with trivial entries like "ok", "thanks", "hi".
These noise entries competed with real memories during recall, degrading
relevance — especially with keyword-only search.

Skip auto-saving messages shorter than 20 characters. Applied to both
the channel path (channels/mod.rs) and CLI agent path (agent/loop_.rs).
