Description

Description

An issue was reported during testing. The generated plan received by a student matched the plan generated from a shared guide (used by most students), instead of the personalized support plan based on that student’s specific objectives.

This suggests that there may be:

  • either a context management issue in OpenTutorAI,
  • or an LLM cache/memory issue causing reuse of shared context.

Expected Behavior

Each student should receive a personalized plan based only on:

  • their own objectives specified during support creation,
  • and their individual context.

Observed Behavior

The system generated a generic/shared plan similar to the one produced from the common guide shared among students.

Possible Causes

  • Context leakage between sessions/users.
  • Improper conversation isolation.
  • LLM cache reuse.
  • Shared guide/context being prioritized over user-specific context.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the context management code to identify where shared context may leak between students. Check session isolation and LLM cache reuse.
