当前行为 | Current Behavior

When using the chat as a guest, all conversation history is stored locally in the browser. But as soon as I log in to my account, this guest history disappears completely—with no warning. I lost a long, carefully crafted dialogue this way, and it felt like unexpected data loss.

期望行为 | Expected Behavior

  1. When using Qwen Chat as a guest, please add a small, persistent note below each AI response (near the "Copy" / "Share" buttons), for example:
    You’re not signed in. Your chat history will not be saved.
    This helps users understand the risk of data loss in context, without pop-ups or UI changes — just a gentle reminder where they’re already looking.

  2. Show a warning before login:
    “Logging in will clear your guest chat history. Would you like to copy it first?”

  3. Automatically migrate guest history to the user account (if technically feasible).

  4. I propose adding a small, non-intrusive panel on the left sidebar (where chat history appears for logged-in users) that shows:
    You’re in guest mode
    Your chats are saved only in this browser.
    Sign in to save conversations permanently and sync across devices.
