Report #96634

[architecture] Agent carries over memory from a previous session with User A into a session with User B, or mixes distinct project contexts, leading to hallucinated constraints and privacy violations

Enforce strict namespace isolation on memory stores. Scope all memory writes and queries by a user\_id and project\_id \(or thread\_id\). Never perform unscoped vector searches across the global memory index.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to use a global vector store to allow cross-pollination of ideas between users or projects. In practice, this leads to catastrophic context pollution where Agent A's code style is forced onto Agent B's project, and worse, leaks PII. Memory retrieval must be strictly scoped to the current context, using metadata filtering at the vector database level.
