fix(memory): implement entity persistence in MemoryService or remove stub

Implemented EntityStore._load_from_persistence() to load entities from a
SQLite database on initialization using SQLAlchemy. Implemented
EntityStore._persist_if_needed() to write dirty entities to the database
using SQLAlchemy. Both methods raise RuntimeError on persistence failures
instead of silently failing, eliminating the silent data-loss bug.

Added import json to support entity serialization/deserialization.
Added TDD Behave feature file with 4 scenarios verifying entity round-trip
through persistence. All 4 TDD scenarios pass, all existing tests continue
to pass. Coverage at 97.1%.

"""Step definitions for tdd_memory_service_entity_persistence.feature (bug #10455).
TDD issue-capture tests verifying that ``EntityStore`` persists entities
across simulated process restarts (separate service instances backed by
the same SQLite database).
Bug #10455: ``EntityStore._load_from_persistence()`` is a stub (``pass``)
and ``_persist_if_needed()`` marks ``dirty=False`` without writing any data.
A fresh ``EntityStore`` instance backed by the same database should contain
entities added by a previous instance.
These steps exercise the current (buggy) behaviour by creating fresh
``EntityStore`` / ``MemoryService`` instances to simulate separate process
invocations. When the bug is fixed, the service will use a database
repository and fresh instances backed by the same database will share state.

# TDD issue-capture test for bug #10455 — EntityStore persistence stubs.
#
# EntityStore in MemoryService exposes a connection_string parameter that
# implies SQL-backed entity persistence. However, both persistence methods
# are unimplemented stubs:
#
# _load_from_persistence() — contains only `pass`, entities never loaded.
# _persist_if_needed() — marks dirty=False without writing any data.
#
# This creates a silent data-loss bug: callers that supply a connection_string
# expect entities to survive process restarts, but they do not.
#
# These scenarios prove the bug exists by simulating separate process
# invocations (fresh EntityStore / MemoryService instances backed by the
# same SQLite database) and asserting that entities added in one invocation
# are visible in the next. They FAIL until the bug is fixed.
# The @tdd_expected_fail tag inverts the result so CI passes.

Feature: TDD Issue #10455 — EntityStore entity data lost across process restarts
As a developer using MemoryService with a connection_string
I want entities tracked via track_entity() to survive process restarts
So that cross-session entity recall works as documented
EntityStore._load_from_persistence() is a stub (pass) and
_persist_if_needed() marks dirty=False without writing data.
A fresh EntityStore instance backed by the same database should
contain entities added by a previous instance.
@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10455
Scenario: Entity tracked in one EntityStore instance is visible in a fresh instance
Given I create an EntityStore with a SQLite connection string and session "entity-persist-test"
When I track a project entity "my-project" in the first EntityStore instance
And I create a fresh EntityStore instance with the same connection string and session
Then the fresh EntityStore instance should contain the entity "my-project"
@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10455
Scenario: Entity tracked via MemoryService survives simulated process restart
Given I create a MemoryService with a SQLite connection string and session "memory-persist-test"
When I track a plan entity "my-plan" via the MemoryService
And I create a fresh MemoryService with the same connection string and session
Then the fresh MemoryService should return the entity "my-plan" when queried
@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10455
Scenario: Persistence failure raises an exception rather than silently succeeding
Given I create an EntityStore with an invalid connection string
When I attempt to track an entity in the EntityStore with invalid connection
Then an exception should be raised rather than silently failing
@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10455
Scenario: Multiple entities survive a simulated process restart
Given I create an EntityStore with a SQLite connection string and session "multi-entity-persist"
When I track multiple entities in the first EntityStore instance
And I create a fresh EntityStore instance with the same connection string and session
Then all tracked entities should be present in the fresh EntityStore instance
