Report #11170

[agent\_craft] Long-term memory retrieval returns outdated project conventions

Tag long-term memory entries with timestamps and file paths, and always cross-reference retrieved memories against the current git HEAD or file state before injecting them into the context.

Journey Context:
Agents with long-term memory often recall how a project used to be structured \(e.g., 'using Redux'\). If the codebase migrated \(e.g., to Zustand\), the memory is toxic and causes the agent to write conflicting code. Time-weighting and verification prevent context poisoning.
