There is no way to determine if this was not just a hallucination. It is not possible for workspaces to share vectors or conversation history. Even threads without a workspace cannot share conversations.

If you embed files in a workspace, they are only available in that workspace and you would know if they were referred to because we always report citations.

Without a reproduction to prove this was actually data across workspaces there is nothing for us to investigate

Well, it is not possible to reproduce. I was in midst of a long project of reviewing and preparing strategic presentation for a upcoming business. my work place was as a financial and strategic consultant with no vectors embedded in this work place. I had another work place created as a legal experts where i embedded many laws (conpany law, tax law, CONTRACT LAW , SOME SHARE HOLDING AGREEMENT ETC)

In the midst of my project (in work place as financial consultant ) in response to certain question it started refering to matter from existing contract i vectored in my workplace as legal consultant. It drifted the context so much , that I had to abondon to the project.

If i have to reproduce the issue, i have to spend so much time and check if it happens, this is not possible because, it is so much time consuming, which I do not have enough, and i uninstalled anything due to this mishap.

I do understand that developers appear to be unable to do anything without recreation and analysis of issues. Well, I frankly shared my issue, with the hope that it might help improve the product which is very good. In fact, it helped me in few project thanks to its workplace and RAG system. And I was very much looking forward to using it for my consulting profession and had no reason to criticise it. But seeing many hours of intense work going waste compelled me to abondon it. Though I studied the configuration in detail, implemented recomeneded configuration, still i may have done something wrong. If that may be the case, then also it should be shared with others so that such mistakes is not introduced. That is why i shared my experience as a bug report

Thanking you all
