Report #3351

[architecture] Agent cannot distinguish its own memories from user-provided context

Tag every memory entry with source \(user, tool, agent, system\) and confidence; use source tags to weight retrieval and to avoid hallucinated self-confirmations.

Journey Context:
When the agent retrieves its own prior guesses and presents them as facts, it creates echo chambers. Provenance tracking lets you down-weight agent-generated memory versus user-stated facts and supports user audit. LangChain's message type system is the canonical model for distinguishing these sources.
