[architecture] Appending new facts as new vector embeddings without invalidating old ones

Implement an upsert pattern for structured facts. When a new memory is added, perform entity extraction, search for existing memories on that entity, and overwrite/merge rather than append.

Journey Context:
If the user changes their mind \('Actually, use spaces, not tabs'\), appending creates two vectors. The agent will non-deterministically retrieve either the old or new rule depending on the query phrasing. Upserting ensures the vector store reflects the current state of truth, avoiding contradictory instructions.
