fix(memory): skip markdown placeholder snippets during short-term promotion

lsr911 · lsr911 · commit b1be398d7c1c · 2026-06-21T22:21:53.000+08:00
Bare bullet items (-, *, +) and whitespace-only lines in daily-note bootstrap sections (e.g. ## Tagesnotizen followed by -) were being promoted into MEMORY.md as empty or near-empty blocks. These are structural scaffolding, not promotable content. Fix: treat placeholder snippets as contaminated in isContaminatedDreamingSnippet so they are skipped during promotion. Closes #80582
