Users Complain Memory Updates Break Workflows

The focus of this post isn't a feature announcement, but strong negative feedback regarding **extended memory context**. The author argues that the new memory mechanism automatically pulls a lot of "relevant content" from past conversations into new ones, causing: - Previously tried and abandoned solutions to interfere with current tasks - Research-phase context polluting formal workflows - Users having almost no precise control over which memories are deemed "relevant" They conclude that if the model cannot truly understand "current task boundaries," this memory expansion makes workflows worse, not better.
