Report #11893

[architecture] Agent memory store grows infinitely, leading to duplicate and contradictory facts about the user or environment

Implement a memory consolidation step \(CRUD operations\) where the agent updates or merges existing memories rather than just appending new ones.

Journey Context:
Most agent memory implementations are append-only. If a user says 'I moved to New York' and later 'I moved to London', an append-only store yields both facts, causing the LLM to hallucinate the current location. Memory requires curation. The agent must search its memory before writing, and if a conflicting or overlapping fact exists, it must update \(overwrite\) the existing memory rather than creating a duplicate.
