col.get() without limit generates SELECT ... WHERE id IN (...) with all
document IDs, which exceeds SQLite's ~999 variable limit when a palace
has more than ~1000 drawers.
This breaks both `mempalace compress` and `mempalace wake-up` on large
palaces. Reproduced on a 13880-file codebase (242K+ drawers).
Fix: paginate reads in batches of 500 using ChromaDB's offset/limit
parameters in both Layer1.generate() and cmd_compress().
Add Milla's conversational explanation of the palace architecture
(wings → rooms → closets → drawers → halls → tunnels) as an
introductory section before the technical diagram.
