What it looks like
The context strip appears directly below the drawer header:- Cluster name — derived from the current Rancher URL
- Dot indicator — shows the cluster context is active
- Resolution count — how many past issues have been resolved on this cluster
Why it matters
Cluster memory enables Pastures AI to provide more relevant diagnostics over time. Knowing that an etcd issue was resolved three weeks ago, or that a Longhorn degradation recurred twice, gives the AI better context for its recommendations. This is fundamentally different from a stateless AI assistant. Instead of treating every question as if it’s the first time seeing the cluster, Pastures maintains a history of what has happened and what was done to fix it.Current implementation
- Demo mode
- Oracle (production)
In demo mode, the resolution count is fixed at 14 to demonstrate the feature. The cluster name is parsed from the current Rancher URL pathname.
Cluster name resolution
The cluster name displayed in the context strip is derived from the current Rancher URL. Pastures parses the pathname to extract the cluster identifier and resolves it to the cluster’s display name.Cluster memory is a display feature — it shows the count of past resolutions but does not currently let you browse individual historical issues. A full resolution history view is planned for a future release.
