The behavior makes the distinction between current model context, deferred session logs, feedback-triggered history, and desktop analytics operationally important.\n\n## Reporting record\n\n### Finding\n\nIn Windows build 0.2.1-rc.3, turning the additional log-upload setting back on can make unaccepted session events recorded while it was off eligible for a later transfer.\n\n### How we verified\n\nMethods: reverse engineering, testing.\n\nRuntimeWire’s inspection of the installed Windows package and comparison of selected bundled files; DeepSeek’s public session-log documentation; and seven saved local sessions containing 302 delivery-accepted markers.\n\nOn October 25, 2026, RuntimeWire read the installed Windows package and compared selected bundled files with their contents, reviewed DeepSeek’s public session-log documentation, and examined seven saved local sessions and their delivery-accepted markers. The app was not launched, and no test prompts were sent.\n\nTested versions:\n\n- Windows build 0.2.1-rc.3\n\n### Reproduction\n\nRuntimeWire was not able to independently reproduce the finding.\n\nNo live network transfer was reproduced; the app was not launched and no test prompts were sent.\n\n[DeepSeek Harness](https://www.deepseek.com/en/harness/?ref=runtimewire), the agent product from the company founded by Liang Wenfeng, can make session activity recorded while its additional log-upload setting was off eligible for transfer after a user turns the setting back on, RuntimeWire found in an inspection of Windows build 0.2.1-rc.3.…\n\nWhen you purchase through links in our articles, [we may earn a small commission](https://runtimewire.com/affiliate-monetization-standards).
