Memory extraction can now turn itself on when post-turn-memory config is present, bypassing its usual feature gate

What

The internal switch that decides whether the memory-extraction pass runs (used both for per-turn extraction and for the flush that happens on shutdown) now returns true automatically whenever a post-turn-memory configuration is present, before it even checks the tengu_passport_quail feature gate that normally controls this feature.

Why

In practice this means setting up post-turn-memory configuration (as described in the related MCP memory server change) can enable memory extraction even for accounts where the underlying feature gate is off, since the config check now short-circuits the gate check entirely.
