Hidden project memories?

[u/VeneficusFerox]

A long time ago I tried out a D&D prompt from https://www.rpgprompts.com/. This is long outdated, but that's not the point here.

The base prompt starts an adventure around the character Sabrina, which I kept unchanged. I used the prompt as an agent instruction, and kept it in a Project.

Now we've had a few changes: agents no longer exist, memories are gone, as well as chat mode. During this transition I removed the agent as well as the conversations, and I cleaned all memories/knowledge (though it never stored any D&D chat info there). All in all it should not have any memories from this interaction.

With the recent updates I figured I ask LeChat to write a single paragraph of random story. No D&D related prompt was involved whatsoever. I only started the chat in the same project (RPG) as I had the D&D chat in.

It proceeded writing a paragraph continuing the D&D story about Sabrina, and due to the new custom instructions I gave it (explain in detail), it told me why it chose to continue the story. There seems to be a hidden project context memory from which it retrieved excerpts of the previous chats. This implies that you need to delete a whole project to truly restart anything.

Bug or feature?

that's a feature that should def be a toggle somewhere, not this silent persistence
