[architecture] Agent memory storing contradictory facts

Implement an update or archive policy on memory writes. Before inserting a new fact, search memory for existing facts about the same entity. If a contradiction exists, update the existing memory node and mark the old one as superseded.

Journey Context:
Append-only memory creates a pile of facts where the LLM doesn't know which is current \(e.g., 'User lives in NY' vs 'User moved to CA'\). Deduplication and state tracking at write-time is computationally expensive but prevents context pollution at read-time, which is far more critical for agent reliability.
