[architecture] Agent memory store filling up with duplicate or conflicting facts

Before writing a new fact to memory, perform a contradiction/duplication check against existing facts for the same entity. Update or discard the existing fact rather than appending a new one.

Journey Context:
Agents that blindly extract and save facts end up with massive duplication \('User likes Python', 'User prefers Python'\). Worse, they accumulate contradictions \('User lives in NY', 'User lives in CA'\). Without a deduplication/contradiction resolution step at write time, retrieval becomes a coin flip between which fact gets top-K ranking, leading to erratic agent behavior.
