Report #54277

[architecture] Retrieved memories from unrelated past tasks pollute the current agent context

Enforce strict metadata filtering \(e.g., user\_id, session\_id, project\_namespace\) on the vector store query before semantic similarity search, and isolate memory scopes per agent or task.

Journey Context:
Vector similarity is purely semantic. If an agent works on multiple projects or for multiple users, a query about 'database schema' might retrieve a schema from a completely different project because the embeddings are close. This causes the agent to hallucinate or apply wrong solutions. Metadata pre-filtering ensures semantic search only occurs within the correct bounded context, preventing cross-contamination.
