LangChain founder on Cognition's 'dreaming': agent memory needs an offline cleanup loop

LangChain founder Harrison Chase comments on Cognition's "dreaming" mechanism for agent memory:
- Memory needs an offline cleanup loop, not just better retrieval, otherwise stale records pile up
- Open question: how inferred memories get validated before the agent actually uses them
- He applauds the open-standard approach: "memory should be open"
