Is there an existing issue for the same bug?
Environment (optional)
macOS
Actual behavior
During extended interactions, the agent may save temporary assumptions, partial conclusions, or context that seemed useful at the time. The problem is that some of this memory can later become outdated, incomplete, or simply wrong, while the agent continues to treat it as reliable.
When that happens, stale memory starts to interfere with the agent’s current reasoning. Instead of grounding itself in the latest context and evidence, the agent may keep relying on earlier remembered information, which can distort judgment, cause repeated mistakes, and make it circle around the wrong line of reasoning.
This is not limited to debugging. It appears to be a more general issue in longer-running tasks where the agent accumulates memory over time. The core problem is that the agent does not always clearly separate tentative, task-local assumptions from durable facts, and may fail to re-check memory when the current context no longer supports it.
