+Guardian Agent Module for Lucidia.
+
+This module defines the GuardianAgent class, which acts as a contradiction
+watcher in Lucidia. The agent monitors statements for contradictions,
+logs them, and ensures stability by comparing current values against
+historical baselines. It persists its observations using Lucidia's memory
+manager and records significant deviations via the contradiction log.
