[architecture] Agent only reads memory but never writes to it autonomously

Equip the agent with explicit save\_memory and update\_memory tools, and prompt it to use them when it learns something new or corrects an old fact.

Journey Context:
Many agents have a read-only RAG pipeline. If the user says 'Actually, my favorite framework is FastAPI', the agent complies but forgets it next session. The agent must have write access and a tool-calling loop to persist state changes. Tradeoff: Autonomous writes risk saving garbage; mitigate by validating extracted facts before persistence.
