- PR #64288: fix(memory): neutralize provider prompt delimiters

These items address a gap where memory provider output sanitization only removed memory-context tags while other prompt-structuring or delimiter tags were left intact. The work involves extending the sanitization logic to strip or neutralize those additional tag types.
