fix(agent-framework): report dropped memory injections instead of failing silently

`_inject_memories` had two paths that discarded memories without any
signal, so a misbehaving context looked identical to one with no
memories to inject.

The fallback branch only prepended a system message when `context.messages`
was a `list`, and silently did nothing otherwise. It also wrapped the insert
in `except Exception: pass`, commented "log a warning" but with nothing to
log through, since the function had no logger in scope.

The function now takes the middleware's logger and warns on both paths: one
for a non-list container, including the type it actually got, and one for an
insert that raised, including the exception type. Neither raises, since
injection is best-effort and must not fail the chat request.

`_inject_memories` is private with a single call site, so the logger is a
required argument rather than an optional one that could reintroduce the
silent path.
