[architecture] Agent saves a new memory for every interaction resulting in massive duplication and contradictory facts

Use an 'update-if-exists' pattern for memory writes. Before writing a new fact, search the memory store for existing overlapping facts, and merge or update them rather than appending a new vector.

Journey Context:
Naive memory architectures just append strings to a vector DB. This leads to context window pollution during retrieval, where the agent gets 5 variations of the same fact, wasting tokens and causing confusion. Deduplication and stateful updates at write-time are critical for long-running agents to maintain a coherent world model.
