feat: normalize durable fact extraction (#1012)

Closes #1012

- add structured session fact extraction with provenance, temporal metadata,
  canonical normalization, and contradiction grouping
- persist structured metadata into holographic memory auto-extraction with
  canonical-key dedupe across repeated ingests
- add fixture-backed transcript tests plus extraction quality evaluation

+"""Session compaction with structured fact extraction.
 
-Before compressing conversation context, extracts durable facts

-Usage:

-    facts = extract_and_save_facts(messages)
+Before compressing conversation context, extract durable facts with enough
+structure to survive retrieval: source/provenance, temporal anchors,
