What This Looks Like
A setting, memory, file, permission, tool result, workflow state, or local rule from one workspace affects behavior in another workspace. The user may see context bleed, unexpected formatting, wrong assumptions, shared state changes, or actions appearing outside the workspace where the task began.
Why Users Blame AI
The user experiences the AI as mixing projects, accounts, contexts, or tasks. The underlying cause may be workspace configuration, shared memory, connector scope, permissions, file access, agent state, or product behavior that does not isolate workspaces the way the user expects.
What to Check First
- Whether the workspaces share memory, files, connectors, or permissions
- Whether the agent had access to more than one workspace
- Whether a local rule or preference was saved globally
- Whether tool actions can affect shared state
- Whether the same account or integration is active across workspaces
- Whether product settings separate workspace context clearly
When This Is AI-Adjacent
Use this AI-Adjacent Issue when workspace isolation may be failing or unclear. If context crosses between tasks, use the related Workbench Issue for context leakage. If an agent actually modifies unrelated state, use the related Issue for agent-modified unrelated state.
