[architecture] Agent hallucinates facts and writes them to long-term memory

Require a verification step before writing to persistent memory. The agent must cite the specific conversational turn or tool output that provides the source of the memory. Reject writes that lack grounding.

Journey Context:
LLMs are eager to please and will often infer things that weren't explicitly stated \(e.g., User: 'I hate waiting.' Agent infers: 'User is impatient.'\). If written to memory as fact, this hallucination compounds over time. By enforcing source-grounding for memory writes, you prevent the agent from poisoning its own context in future sessions.
