[architecture] Bleeding context from one session/thread into another, causing hallucinations or PII leaks

Isolate short-term working memory per session. Only promote distilled, user-scoped semantic facts to long-term cross-session memory via an explicit 'save\_memory' tool call.

Journey Context:
Developers often share a single global context or memory pool across all user threads. Thread A's working state bleeds into Thread B, causing the agent to hallucinate context that doesn't belong. By making cross-session persistence an explicit tool-based action, the agent acts as a filter, only promoting universal truths \(e.g., 'User prefers dark mode'\) rather than transient state \('User is currently debugging a React error'\).
