[architecture] Agent holds contradictory memories over long sessions

Implement a background 'reflection' or 'consolidation' process that periodically reviews clusters of memories, resolves contradictions, and generates higher-level summaries while invalidating outdated atomic facts.

Journey Context:
A naive memory architecture just appends new facts. Over time, the user's state changes, leading to contradictory facts in the DB \(e.g., 'User lives in NY' and 'User moved to CA'\). Vector search might return the old fact. A reflection mechanism \(running when the agent is idle\) acts like human sleep, synthesizing raw memories into updated beliefs and marking old ones as superseded.
