//! # `ElasticMemoryGuard` - importance-based forgetting prevention.
//!
//! Inspired by *Elastic Weight Consolidation* (EWC) from continual learning,
//! this guard computes a **Fisher-analog importance score** for each `ColdStore`
//! entry by tracking how frequently the entry is activated during `recall`
//! queries. High-activation entries are **pinned** so they are excluded from
//! future eviction passes, protecting the most relevant long-term knowledge.
//!
//! ## Importance model
//!
//! Because the system is purely symbolic (no neural weights), the Fisher
//! information matrix is approximated by a per-entry **activation counter**.
//! The protective penalty in the original EWC loss:
//!
//! ```text
//! L_elastic = λ · Σ_j F_j · (θ_j - θ*_j)²
//! ```
//!
//! becomes the guard criterion: entry _j_ with `activation_count ≥ pin_threshold`
//! is never eligible for eviction regardless of its raw `ColdStore` score.
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use lmm_agent::cognition::learning::elastic::ElasticMemoryGuard;
//!
//! let mut guard = ElasticMemoryGuard::new(3, 0.5);
//! let content = "rust ownership borrow checker".to_string();
//! guard.observe_activation(&content);
//! guard.observe_activation(&content);
//! guard.observe_activation(&content);
//! assert!(guard.is_pinned(&content));
//! ```
