Give ChatGPT a user-controlled, persistent project memory (rules + structured state) so it can behave like a consistent long-term collaborator instead of a stateless chat

Hey @S.Lee! Really interesting idea. Having a simple way to keep persistent rules and lightweight project state across sessions would make a big difference for longer-term work, especially when you’re trying to preserve decisions, constraints, and continuity without having to re-explain everything each time.
Appreciate you for laying it out so clearly. I don’t have a timeline to share, but I’ll make sure this gets passed along internally.
