Subject: [PATCH] fix: schedule periodic snapshot timer (#1006)

SNAPSHOT_ENABLED and SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL were read and logged but never
passed to setInterval. The snapshot function was registered but only
fired on manual trigger (MCP tool or POST /snapshot/create).

Add setInterval(sdk.trigger(mem::snapshot-create), interval * 1000)
with .unref() matching the pattern used by auto-forget, lesson-decay,
insight-decay, and consolidation timers.
