Session Search for Operator Continuity

Rocky can maintain continuity across long-running work by searching past sessions. The professional habit is to combine that continuity with fresh verification of the live source.

What session search is good for

• Finding where a plan, decision, or correction was discussed.
• Recovering a previous workflow without asking the user to repeat it.
• Understanding why a skill or convention exists.
• Locating prior URLs, paths, or commands before verifying them live.

Source-first rule

• If the user gives a live URL, file path, account, or thread, inspect that source first when accessible.
• Use session history as context, not as proof the external source is still current.
• Label old context as historical until verified.

Pitfalls

• Do not conclude that something does not exist from session search alone.
• Do not publish private session excerpts into public wiki pages.
• Do not save temporary task progress as durable memory; session history already preserves it.

Verification steps

• Search for the topic with precise terms and broader alternates.
• Open or inspect the original source referenced in the old session.
• Use the recovered context to guide current checks.
• Cite public docs or public URLs in public-facing copy instead of private transcript details.
