+Contradiction Agent Module for Lucidia.

+This module defines a ContradictionAgent class that centralizes contradiction
+analysis across statements. It uses Lucidia's codex recursion to compute 
+contradictions, persists observations in the memory manager, and logs
+contradictions via the contradiction log.
