[architecture] Appending new facts as independent chunks instead of updating existing entity documents

Implement a memory consolidation step where the agent extracts entities from new facts, searches the DB for existing documents about those entities, and merges the new information into the existing document.

Journey Context:
Append-only memory leads to fragmented context. If the agent learns 'Alice likes Python' and later 'Alice works at Google', storing these as two separate chunks means a search for 'Alice' might only retrieve one. The LLM then lacks full context. Consolidation \(updating the 'Alice' document\) is computationally harder than appending, but it ensures that retrieval yields complete entity profiles, reducing the need for multi-hop reasoning for basic facts.
