Bug Report: Project-only memory: chats moved into a project aren’t referenced by new chats in that project
`Steps to Reproduce`

Create a new project with Project-only memory enabled.

Outside the project, start Chat A and store an obvious fact (e.g., “Codename is Icarus”).

Move Chat A into the project.

Inside the project, start New Chat B and ask: “What’s our codename?”

`Expected Result`

New Chat B references Chat A and answers Icarus.
Actual: New Chat B says there’s no prior context / doesn’t know.

`Actual Result`

Move operation doesn’t re-index the chat into the project’s reference store, so new chats can’t see it.

`Environment`

web, iOS, MacOS App, Android

It does not know because thread-level context does not automatically transfer into project-wide memory unless it is explicitly saved as memory or referenced directly.
The new thread starts fresh, drawing only from:

  • Project custom instructions,
  • Saved project memory entries,
  • Any data you explicitly feed it in that new thread.

Threads don’t automatically share knowledge, even inside the same project.
Moving a thread does not import its runtime context
