Report #56496

[architecture] Cross-session memory leaks irrelevant context from previous tasks into the current task

Scope memory retrieval by session ID or task namespace, and use a working memory that is explicitly cleared per task, only pulling from long-term memory via targeted queries.

Journey Context:
Agents carrying over full context from session A to session B get confused \(e.g., coding a Python script in session B, but remembering React code from session A\). Long-term memory must be query-based, not auto-injected. Auto-injection breaks the agent's focus and wastes the context window on low-relevance historical data.
