[agent\_craft] Agent long-term memory bloats with contradictory outdated information

Implement memory consolidation: when the agent learns a new fact, search for existing related facts and update or merge them, rather than just appending new entries.

Journey Context:
Agents that treat memory as a simple append-only log eventually suffer from memory bloat, where retrieving a fact returns 5 conflicting versions from different dates. Memory needs curation. Mimicking human memory consolidation—updating existing schemas with new information and deleting obsolete entries—keeps the retrieval corpus dense and high-signal.
