[architecture] Querying a global memory store without filtering by user/session ID, causing cross-pollination of facts between users

Enforce strict namespace or metadata filtering on all memory queries. Prepend user/tenant IDs to vector store partitions or use metadata filters \(e.g., user\_id = X\) enforced at the query level, not just the application level.

Journey Context:
It is easy to treat the vector database as a global brain, but this leads to catastrophic security and logic failures where User A's private data informs User B's responses. Metadata filtering is often added as an afterthought. The tradeoff is that strict partitioning prevents collaborative or global knowledge features, so you must architect for two tiers: a global knowledge base \(read-only for agents\) and a strictly partitioned episodic memory \(read-write\).
