After starting a new conversation in the chat, if I close the IDE and reopen it, the previous conversation history is not preserved. The last conversations do not appear when the IDE is reopened.
Because of this, the AI loses the earlier context and has to read all the project files again from scratch. As a result, the workflow restarts every time and the AI repeats the initial project analysis instead of continuing from the previous state.
This behavior significantly slows down development because the AI must reprocess the entire project each time the IDE is reopened.
Expected Behavior:
The conversation history should persist after closing and reopening the IDE so the AI can continue from the previous context.
Actual Behavior:
Conversation history disappears after reopening the IDE, forcing the AI to start the process from scratch again.
Impact:
-
Loss of previous context
-
AI repeatedly re-reads project files
-
Slower development workflow
-
More unnecessary tokens usage.
