If you're continually finding that it's being forgotten, maybe you're not starting fresh sessions often enough.

I should not have to fight tooling, especially the supposedly "intelligent" one. What's the point of it, if we have to always adapt to the tool, instead of the other way around?
It's a tool. The first time you used a shell you had to learn it. The first time you used a text editor you had to learn it.
You can learn how to use it, or you can put it down if you think it doesn't bring you any benefit.
even shell remembers my commands...
I am sorry but what do I have to learn? That the tool does not work as advertised? That sometimes it will work as advertised, sometimes not? That it will sometimes expose critical secrets as plain text and some other time suggest to solve a problem in a function by removing the function code completely? What are you even talking about, comparing to shell and text editors? These are still bloody deterministic tools. You learn how they work and the usage does not change unpredictably every day! How can you learn something that does not have predictable outputs?

I understand you're trying to be helpful but the number of "you're holding it wrong" things I read about this tool — any AI tool — just makes me wonder who vibe coders are really doing all this unpaid work for.
