Agent doesn't retain memory tool when running in playground

I was playing with some of my agents and memory tooling, on the playground.
I was not able to get correct response regarding some queries about episodic memories or user memories.

Code which might be causing the problem:

async def create_agent_run(
        agent_id: str,
        message: str = Form(...),
        stream: bool = Form(True),
        monitor: bool = Form(False),
        session_id: Optional[str] = Form(None),
        user_id: Optional[str] = Form(None),
        files: Optional[List[UploadFile]] = File(None),
    ):

    # this starts deepcopy of an existing agent
    new_agent_instance = agent.deep_copy(update={"session_id": session_id})

in agent.py

def deep_copy():
    # memory is excluded
    excluded_fields = ["agent_session", "session_name", "memory"]

The problem happens when I fire a message from the playground.

def initialize_agent(self) -> None:
      self.set_debug()
      self.set_agent_id()
      self.set_session_id()
      if self._formatter is None:
          self._formatter = SafeFormatter()
      if self.memory is None:
          self.memory = AgentMemory()

memory is set to a default in-memory AgentMemory overriding the parent agent’s memory specs.

get_tools is called to attach the tools in the LLM call.

def get_tools():
    # this if returns as False, as memory.create_user_memories is not copied fro the parent agent.
    if self.memory and self.memory.create_user_memories:
            tools.append(self.update_memory)

Is this a known bug? Or is this intended for playground.
Also, I feel memories should also be associated with session_id, or there can be a global memory thingy (chatgpt settings, anyone?)

I had a bit frustrating moment when the agent works as a normal cli (i.e has memories) but when run in the playground it suffers from memory loss. PDB to the rescue.
