Report #48770

[architecture] Agent retrieves memories from a completely different project or task context confusing the current session

Scope memory retrieval with explicit namespace or metadata filtering \(e.g., project\_id, session\_type\) before performing vector similarity search.

Journey Context:
Vector embeddings only capture semantic meaning. A memory about 'deploying the database' for Project A is semantically identical to 'deploying the database' for Project B. Without metadata filtering on the retrieval query, the agent will mix up instructions across projects. Semantic search must be constrained by structured metadata boundaries to prevent cross-contamination of distinct tasks.
