Report #6804

[architecture] Treating agent memory as a simple CRUD database instead of an active cognitive component

Design memory as an active pipeline: Memory Generation \(what to store\), Memory Consolidation \(merging/updating\), Memory Retrieval \(contextual fetch\), and Memory Evolution \(decay/forgetting\). Do not just append strings to a vector DB; update existing entities when new information contradicts or supplements them.

Journey Context:
If you just append, you get duplicates and contradictions \(e.g., 'User lives in NY' and later 'User moved to CA'\). The agent will retrieve both and be confused. Memory must be mutable and consolidated, not just an append-only log, unless the log is strictly for immutable audit trails.
