- PR #99258: fix(memory): adopt legacy section-delimited stores instead of freezing them

These items address a bug where memory stores using legacy ##-sectioned MEMORY.md files were being frozen or rejected instead of parsed and migrated. The fixes add support for reading raw markdown memory files and adopting legacy section-delimited stores rather than blocking writes to them.
