Report #12618

[architecture] Cross-session or cross-user memory bleeding into current context

Partition memory at the vector database level using metadata filtering or separate collections/indexes scoped strictly by user\_id and session\_id. Never rely solely on the embedding to differentiate context.

Journey Context:
Developers often use a single vector index for all agent memories to save infrastructure costs. Because semantic similarity is domain-agnostic, a query from User A might retrieve a highly similar document authored by User B. This breaks privacy, causes bizarre hallucinations, and pollutes the context window with irrelevant instructions. The cost of multiple collections or strict pre-filtering is negligible compared to the cost of a data leak or corrupted agent state.
