Atomic — search memories by filter (lexical or semantic), return ranked list
Atomic — regenerate .papyrus/index.json and (optionally) semantic vectors for a workspace
Atomic — mark a memory deprecated, optionally with supersedes link
Atomic — list memories whose review_after has passed
Atomic — fetch a single memory in full by id
Atomic — bidirectional graph walk from a starting need

Persist one memory record. Single atomic append.
backend.find_by_id(id) is not None AND need content matches inputinput:
type: NeedType enum value (mem|dec|fact|pref|risk|goal|q)
title: non-empty string
body: string (default "")
tags: list[str] (topic:X / scope:Y convention)
confidence: low|medium|high (default medium)
scope: local|program|org (default local)
links: list of {type: LinkType, target: need_id}

id: optional override; else auto from title
