fix memory regression: jemalloc, debug endpoints, state eviction, stress tests

Switch brightstaff to jemalloc to fix glibc malloc fragmentation causing
OOM in prod routing service deployments. Add /debug/memstats and
/debug/state_size endpoints for runtime observability. Add TTL eviction
and max_entries cap to MemoryConversationalStorage. Cap tracing span
attributes/events. Include routing stress tests proving zero per-request
leak, and a Python load test for E2E validation.
