Memory layer grounds coding agents to actual code

Summary

Agents recalling stale or nonexistent code facts cause more damage than no memory at all. Kage's validation-on-write and stale-memory hiding prevents agents from acting on broken context, reducing manual debugging cycles and re-explanation overhead.
