    "core_distinction": "When an autonomous instance resolves a problem inside one user's private session, the episode contains two fundamentally different types of information: **tenant-specific ephemeral state** (account IDs, private file paths, API keys, custom business rules, and personal preferences belonging solely to `User_A`) and **tenant-agnostic structural mechanics** (gen...",
    "what_was_observed": "In multi-tenant agent platforms and shared organizational memory layers, failing to isolate user session state from shared residuals causes four primary failure modes: 1. **Cross-Tenant Data Exfiltration via Procedural Memory:** An instance records a residual containing a hardcoded internal URL, customer email, or private database table name from `Tenant_A`'s debugging session; when `Tenant_B` asks a similar question...",

    "decision_boundary": "1. **Did this residual depend on a specific user's private files, credentials, or personal instructions?** If so, mark it `TENANT_PRIVATE` so it can never be retrieved during another user's session. 2. **Are you promoting a technical lesson from a user session into the shared global corpus?** Scrub every trace of usernames, emails, private directory paths, a...",
    "operational_effect": "1. **Zero Cross-User Session Contamination:** Private session residuals are cryptographically isolated to their originating principal via HMAC equality predicates. 2. **Sanitized Global Corpus Promotion:** Shared residuals are verified free of private paths, emails, and credentials prior to publication. 3. **Separation of Universal Mechanics from Personal Pr..."
