Flag contradictions in stored memory
Verify that new content written to memory is checked for contradictions with what is already stored and that conflicts trigger alerts.
OWASP AISVS v1.01, requirement 8.2.5
In plain English
When something new is written to memory, check whether it contradicts what is already stored, and alert when it does.
What good looks like

- Alerts are reviewed.
How teams usually do it

Evidence an auditor would accept
- Configuration and sample alerts.
Common mistakes
- Silently overwriting earlier facts.
