[architecture] Vector store accumulating contradictory or duplicate facts over long sessions

Implement a memory consolidation step where, before writing a new fact, the agent searches for existing overlapping memories and updates or merges them rather than appending a new document.

Journey Context:
If a user says 'My favorite color is blue' and later says 'My favorite color is red', naive append-only memory stores both. Future retrieval yields conflicting information, causing the agent to hallucinate or become confused. Consolidation \(updating the existing memory node or invalidating the old one\) ensures the memory store reflects the current state of truth, mirroring human memory updating.
