πŸ”’ Add GPT memory isolation with user-specific sessions and module separation

πŸš€ Quick Start: GPT Memory Isolation Fix

⚑ Immediate Steps

1. Run Database Migration

python setup_database.py

This will automatically:

  • βœ… Add user_id columns to all memory tables
  • βœ… Migrate existing data to link to project owners
  • βœ… Add proper constraints and indexes
  • βœ… Ensure user isolation

2. Restart Your Application

python main.py

3. Test the Fix

Test 1: New User Registration

  1. Register a new user account
  2. Create a new project
  3. Start any GPT mode
  4. βœ… Expected: No previous memory or responses shown

Test 2: Multiple Users

  1. Create two different user accounts
  2. Both users create projects with same name
  3. Both users start same GPT mode
  4. βœ… Expected: Completely separate experiences

Test 3: Module Switching

  1. User starts one GPT module
  2. Answer a few questions
  3. Switch to different GPT module
  4. βœ… Expected: No cross-module memory bleeding

πŸ› οΈ Utility Commands

Clear User Sessions

# Clear sessions for specific user
python clear_user_sessions.py --action clear-user --email user@example.com

# Clear all sessions (nuclear option)
python clear_user_sessions.py --action clear-all

Verify Isolation

# Verify user isolation
python clear_user_sessions.py --action verify

# List all users and their sessions
python clear_user_sessions.py --action list

Verify Module Isolation

# Verify module isolation for specific user/project
python clear_user_sessions.py --action verify --user-id USER_ID --project-id PROJECT_ID

πŸ” What Was Fixed

Before (Problems)

  • ❌ New users saw previous users' GPT responses
  • ❌ Different GPT modules shared memory
  • ❌ Sessions weren't user-specific
  • ❌ Cross-module contamination

After (Solutions)

  • βœ… Complete user isolation
  • βœ… Module-specific memory
  • βœ… Clean session management
  • βœ… Proper data separation

πŸ“Š Database Changes

Tables Updated

  1. gpt_mode_sessions - Added user_id column
  2. conversation_memory - Added user_id column
  3. cross_module_memory - Added user_id column

New Constraints

  • Unique constraint: One session per user per mode per project
  • Foreign key constraints: User references
  • Indexes: For performance

πŸ§ͺ Verification Queries

Check User Isolation

-- Should show each user has their own sessions
SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) FROM gpt_mode_sessions GROUP BY user_id;

Check Module Isolation

-- Should show separate sessions per module per user
SELECT user_id, mode_name, COUNT(*) FROM gpt_mode_sessions GROUP BY user_id, mode_name;

Check Memory Isolation

-- Should show separate memory per user
SELECT user_id, module_id, COUNT(*) FROM conversation_memory GROUP BY user_id, module_id;

🚨 Important Notes

  1. Backup First: Always backup your database before running migration
  2. Existing Data: Current data will be linked to project owners
  3. Performance: Slight performance impact due to additional indexes
  4. Storage: May increase storage requirements

πŸ”§ Troubleshooting

If Migration Fails

# Check database connection
python diagnose_connection.py

# Verify Supabase setup
python verify_supabase.py

If Isolation Still Not Working

# Clear all sessions and start fresh
python clear_user_sessions.py --action clear-all

# Verify isolation
python clear_user_sessions.py --action verify

If New Users Still See Old Data

# Check for orphaned records
python clear_user_sessions.py --action verify

# Clear specific user
python clear_user_sessions.py --action clear-user --email newuser@example.com

πŸ“ž Support

If you encounter issues:

  1. Check logs: Look for error messages in console
  2. Verify migration: Run verification commands
  3. Test with fresh user: Create new account to test
  4. Clear sessions: Use utility commands to reset

🎯 Expected Results

After implementing this fix:

  • βœ… New users will have completely clean experiences
  • βœ… Multiple users will have isolated sessions
  • βœ… Module switching will maintain proper separation
  • βœ… Session management will be user-specific
  • βœ… Data integrity will be maintained

This fix ensures your GPT chatbot provides a secure, isolated experience for each user, with proper separation between different GPT modules.
