Report #1500

[architecture] Agent leaks private context from one user or project into another, or loses all context between sessions forcing constant re-onboarding

Scope long-term memory by a strict namespace \(e.g., user\_id or project\_id\) and enforce tenant isolation at the query level, while maintaining a separate global memory for general knowledge.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG implementations often use a single global collection. If Alice asks the agent to remember her API key style, Bob shouldn't get it. Similarly, project-specific architectural decisions shouldn't leak into unrelated projects. Namespace isolation is mandatory for multi-tenant agents. Conversely, general coding patterns shouldn't be duplicated per user; they belong in a shared, read-only global memory. Using thread-scoped or project-scoped vector stores enforces this boundary natively.
