Automated excerpt
Every agent memory project I've seen (including the first two versions of mine) builds two things: record and recall. The same fact gets recorded five times across five sessions, each with slightly different wording, because nothing at write time knew it already existed. At recall time: if two returned entries conflict, surface that.
