[architecture] Agent treats one-off requests as permanent user preferences

Tag every memory with type, confidence, and TTL; default task constraints to session-scoped ephemeral memory and promote facts to long-term core memory only after repeated evidence.

Journey Context:
Not every statement should be remembered forever. 'Send me the draft by Friday' is time-bounded; 'I prefer concise answers' is persistent. If both are stored identically, the agent will hallucinate expired constraints later. The fix is explicit memory metadata: ephemeral vs persistent, confidence, and expiration. One-off constraints stay in session memory and die with the session; recurring patterns get promoted. This requires a lightweight classifier or heuristic but prevents the common failure of permanent pollution.
