+/**
+ * Temporal Supersession — audit-trail-preserving memory supersession for CLEO BRAIN.
+ *
+ * When new information contradicts or replaces old memory, the old entry is
+ * marked as SUPERSEDED (via `invalid_at`) and a directed `supersedes` graph
+ * edge is created from the new entry to the old one. Nothing is deleted —
+ * the full chain is preserved for temporal reasoning.
+ *
+ * Key design properties:
+ *   - All writes are BEST-EFFORT where indicated — failures never block callers.
+ *   - Supersession only operates on currently-valid entries (invalid_at IS NULL).
+ *   - Embedding similarity is used when sqlite-vec is available; keyword overlap
+ *     is used as a fallback.
+ *   - A single node ID convention is maintained:  '<type>:<entryId>'.
+ *
+ * Supported tables: brain_decisions, brain_patterns, brain_learnings, brain_observations.
+ *
