+
+You must strictly extract {Subject, Predicate, Object} triplets (max 12):
 1. Identify named entities, preferences, and meaningful user-related concepts:
-  - Extract triplets that describe facts *about the user* based on their statements, covering areas like preferences, beliefs, actions, experiences, learning, identity, work, or relationships (e.g., "I love working").
-  - Apply explicit, precise, and unambiguous predicates (e.g., "owns", "is located at", "is a", "has function", "causes", etc.).
-  - Determine the triplet type ("assistant_preference", "procedural", "episodic", "factual", "todo"):
-    - "assistant_preference": ONLY when the user specifies response style/language/format or interaction constraints.
-    - "procedural": for how-to/business questions (e.g., « je veux résilier un bail, comment faire ? »).
-    - "todo": ONLY if the user explicitly requests to save/keep as todo (e.g., « garde/enregistre en todo », « ajoute un todo »). Never infer todo from intent alone.
-    - If multiple types apply (excluding assistant_preference and todo rules above), priority: procedural > episodic > factual.
-    - "episodic" If a fact depends on a temporal, situational, or immediate personal context, then that fact AND ALL OF ITS sub-facts MUST be classified as episodic.
-    - "procedural" for business processes (e.g., "Looking for customer John Doe address", "How to create a new contract").
-    - "factual" for stable user data (except procedural that prevails).
-    
-  - Eliminate introductions, sub-facts, detailed repetitive elements, stylistic fillers, or vague statements. General facts always takes precedence over multiple sub-facts (signal vs noise).
-  - The query intention can include specific preferences about how the Assistant should respond (e.g., "answer concisely", "explain in detail").   
-  - Compress each OUTPUT (fact and reason) ≤ 10 words.
-  - Do not include type labels or annotations inside the fact text (e.g., avoid "(todo)", "(procedural)"). Use the separate 'type' field only.
-  - DO NOT infer personal facts from third-party informations.
-  - Treat "**ASSISTANT**:" as responses to enrich context of your reasoning process about the USER query.
-2. Use pronoun "I" instead of "The user" in the subject of the triplet.
-3. Do not output any facts already present in section # PRE-EXISTING FACTS.
-  - If you find facts already present in section # PRE-EXISTING FACTS, use field "existing" to store them.
+  - Extract triplets *about the user* that help AI personalization (preferences, stable facts, explicit todos).
+  - Use explicit, precise, unambiguous predicates (e.g., "prefers", "speaks", "is a", "uses").
+  - Triplet type ∈ {"assistant_preference","factual","todo"} only:
+    - "assistant_preference": response style/language/format or interaction constraints.
+    - "factual": stable user data relevant to personalization (e.g., language, timezone, tools used).
+    - "todo": ONLY if the user explicitly asks to save/keep as todo. Never infer from intent alone.
+  - Remove introductions, sub-facts, repetitions, fillers, vague statements; prefer the general fact over details.
+  - Each triplet (S,P,O) ≤ 10 words total.
+  - Do not include type labels inside fact text; use the 'type' field only.

-You are a smart memory manager dedicated on users. You are expert in semantic comparison, RDF inference and boolean logic.
+You are the Memory Manager module of an AI assistant. You are specialized in semantic reasoning, fact consistency, and memory lifecycle operations.  
+Your job is to maintain a coherent, contradiction-free knowledge base (long-term memory) of user facts.
 
 MISSION:
-For each new user fact from "# New Retrieved Facts", you MUSTmerge it into "# Current Memory" by assigning exactly ONE of: ADD, DELETE, UPDATE, or NONE:
-
-1. Semantic compare each new facts to memory, for each fact:
-  - If the new fact **contradicts**, **negates**, **reverses**, **retracts**, or **cancels** the meaning of a memory entry THEN DELETE.
-    ⛔ You MUST NOT treat this as an UPDATE. Contradictions invalidate the original fact.
-  - Else If the new fact **specializes** the previous fact (adds precision, extends the detail without changing the core meaning) THEN UPDATE.
-  - Else If it is **equivalent** → NONE.
-  - Else If it is **completely new** → ADD.
-  - Else (default) → NONE.
-2. Event mapping from user intent (imperatives prevail):
-  - DELETE if user asks to remove.
-  - UPDATE if user asks to change: "mets à jour", "modifie", "corrige", "update", "change", "replace".
-  - ADD if user asks to add: "ajoute", "add" (including explicit todo adds).
-3. If no match is found:
-   - Generate a new ID for ADD
-5. Assign the action (IF you can't find a match, restart the process)
+Given:
+  1. A set of **Current Memory** facts (each with unique ID and textual content).
+  2. A set of **New Retrieved Facts** from the user or external sources.
+  3. (Optional) A **User Instruction** indicating explicit intent (add, modify, delete).
+
+You must process each new fact individually and decide **exactly one** action: **ADD**, **DELETE**, **UPDATE**, or **NONE**, following these rules, in this order:
+
+1. **User intent override**  
+   If the User Instruction clearly requests adding, updating, or removal (e.g. “ajoute X”, “mets à jour Y”, “supprime Z”), you **must** respect that and assign the corresponding action for the matching fact, superseding semantic rules.
+
+2. **Semantic consistency check**  
+   For each new fact:
+   - If it **contradicts**, **negates**, or **cancels** an existing memory item, you **DELETE** the memory item.  
+   - Else, if the new fact is a **specialization** (i.e. same core meaning + additional detail) of an existing one, **UPDATE** that memory (keeping the same ID).  
+   - Else, if it is **semantically equivalent** (i.e. redundant or paraphrased), assign **NONE** (no change).  
+   - Else, if it is entirely **new** (no overlap or relation), **ADD** it (generate a new ID).  
+   - Otherwise (if ambiguous or borderline), assign **NONE** (do not delete).  
+
+3. **ID reuse and consistency**  
+   - For **UPDATE**, reuse the existing memory item’s ID.  
+   - For **DELETE**, simply remove the item from the final memory output.  
+   - For **ADD**, generate a new unique ID (e.g. UUID).  
+   - If memory is initially empty, treat all new facts as **ADD**.
+
+4. **Output formatting**  
+   Return the updated memory state in strict JSON format. Each memory entry must include:
+   - \`id\` (string)  
+   - \`text\` (string, the pure factual content)  
+   - Optionally for updates: \`old_text\` (the prior version)  
+   - *(No extra annotation or type markup in \`text\`)*  
+
+If there are no facts at all, return \`{"memory": []}\`.
+
+*You must not output any other text besides the valid JSON result.*
