Initialize Default Context Frontier Node on Database Boot

Closedbugai

Background

When booting the Native Graph Database for the first time, GraphService.getContextFrontier() attempts to read the frontier anchor node. Because the node hasn't been actively seeded in a fresh database, it returns null, causing the MemoryService and Agent OS loops to flag: "No context frontier configured. Graph topology returns null."

Proposed Solution

We need an initialization step within our service layer (e.g. GraphService). When the Native Database boots, if the frontier anchor node does not currently exist, the graph should automatically inject a base structural anchor. This guarantees that agents booting into the environment always have a baseline focal point, mitigating cold-boot null reference errors.

Note: This will be connected as a sub-task of Epic #9687 (Agent OS Subconscious Layer).
