Context & memory boundaries
This workflow friction appears across 6 independent open-source repositories. Repetition raises confidence, but direct user validation still decides whether it is worth building.
Where this need appears
Each item below is a public, qualified GitHub discussion. The Radar groups related friction, while the original Issue remains available for source checking.

Turn the signal into one observable action
Test one constrained memory scope with a small real dataset and a written expected-recall benchmark.
The system retrieves the right evidence across repeated sessions without leaking or inventing context.
Ask before you build
- Which information must persist?
- For how long and within what scope?
- Show the last wrong or missing recall.
- What data must never cross boundaries?
- How do you correct memory today?
Professional guardrail: Use a fixed test case and compare completion, regressions and recovery against the unchanged baseline.
