`POST /memories/import`

Import an exported envelope into the caller's own memory graph.

The envelope's ``source_user_id`` is remapped to the authenticated
user. MERGE semantics: records with UUIDs already present in the
target graph are skipped. Embedding regeneration runs asynchronously;
poll ``GET /memories/import/{import_id}`` to track progress.
