Memories and rules

Describe the Bug

I have stopped creating rules as they are never followed. It seemed that memories were a “fix”?

It a new project with very little history or code, a couple of memories were created by the IDE. Great!

Except, not great. Both of the memories were immediately ignored by the responses. My complaints or observation of not following led to the edit model becoming passive aggressive. See Passive aggressive responses

Steps to Reproduce

I went back to earlier projects with more history and found exactly the same ignorance of IDE created memories.

Expected Behavior

Memories should be guardrails for the responses to always follow.
