[architecture] Cross-session memory causing stale state hallucinations

Tag all persisted memories with a temporal scope or session ID, and require the agent to check the temporal validity of a memory before acting on it.

Journey Context:
If a user says 'I'm in Paris' on Monday and 'I'm in New York' on Tuesday, an agent acting on Tuesday might still retrieve the Paris memory and book a local restaurant there. Vector search returns both. Temporal tagging allows the agent to disambiguate based on time. Tradeoff: requires strict metadata enforcement at insertion time, but prevents dangerous stale-state actions.
