Report #6645

[architecture] Retrieving memories from a completely different task or domain pollutes the current prompt, causing the agent to hallucinate or use outdated schemas

Namespace or partition memory by active project, repository, or task ID. When querying the vector store, apply hard metadata filters based on the current execution context before performing the similarity search.

Journey Context:
Vector databases return 'nearest neighbors' mathematically, which means a highly similar but completely unrelated concept from a different project will be returned if not filtered. For example, an API schema from Project A will bleed into Project B's code generation. Agents often try to solve this by tweaking the similarity threshold, but this is a brittle, global setting that breaks multi-domain usage. Hard metadata filtering on namespace/project ID is the only reliable way to enforce memory isolation.
