arXiv:2610.18684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personal-agent memory has largely focused on learning what users know, prefer, and want. However, knowing the user does not necessarily mean knowing what the user and the agent have established together. An assistant's proposal should not become an authorized instruction merely because it is remembered. We introduce Grounding Awareness, the ability to distinguish accepted, unacknowledged, revised, and scoped arrangements when selecting actions. We develop a controlled benchmark to test whether agents can tell the difference between proposals user
