[architecture] Cross-session memory leakage between different users or tenants

Enforce strict namespace or metadata partitioning at the vector store query level. Never rely solely on filtering after retrieval. Inject the user\_id or session\_id as a mandatory pre-filter on the vector index itself.

Journey Context:
When implementing cross-session persistence, developers often store all memories in a single collection and apply a metadata filter post-retrieval or during the vector search. However, if the vector index doesn't strictly enforce partitioning before approximate nearest neighbor \(ANN\) search, embeddings from User A can influence the search graph or yield top-K results that are then filtered out, leaving fewer relevant results for User B, or worse, leaking data if the filter fails. The tradeoff is slightly slower indexing with partitioned indexes vs. absolute data isolation.
