[architecture] Agent only reads from memory but never autonomously writes or updates it during a conversation

Design a memory-write tool/function that the agent is prompted to call whenever it learns a new fact, updates a preference, or detects a contradiction. Make memory mutation an explicit step in the agent's toolset.

Journey Context:
Many RAG setups are read-only. If the agent learns 'User is allergic to peanuts' but has no tool to save this, it forgets it immediately. The agent needs an explicit save\_memory\(fact\) or update\_memory\(id, fact\) tool, moving from passive retrieval to active memory management.
