Description
**Describe the bug**
I have a rule in amazon q to not make changes to my code without confirming me before doing so. Quite frequently, it breaks the rule and I have to remind it. This is very annoying. Amazon Q should always follow the rules without needing reminders.
**To Reproduce**
I as amazon Q for help and it doesn't follow the rule. After I remind it to, it follows them for a while. It seems that maybe after I restart Visual Studio or something, it forgets to read the rules. Not sure of the catalyst but it happens way too often.
**Expected behavior**
Amazon Q should always follow the rules that are identified and not have to be reminded to do so.
**Screenshots**
**Development System (please complete the following information):**
- Windows Version: 11
- Visual Studio Version: Visual Studio 2026 Insiders [11723.189]
- AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Version: 1.92.0.0
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Amazon Q behavior in Visual Studio 2026 Insiders with AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio 1.92.0.0, using a rule that requires confirmation before code changes. Compare sessions before and after restarting Visual Studio and document the trigger; done means the rule is consistently followed without reminders.
