[architecture] Injecting raw long-term memory directly into the system prompt without grounding it against the current session's reality

Inject memories as a separate block \(e.g., \) and explicitly instruct the agent to treat them as historical context that might be outdated, verifying against current state before acting.

Journey Context:
Memories from weeks ago might reference files, variables, or APIs that have since been refactored. If treated as absolute truth, the agent hallucinates by writing code against deleted interfaces. Grounding prevents this by forcing the agent to validate stale memories against the live environment before execution.
