3131| `ant-did` | The random device identifier described above. |
3232| `configLibrary/` | Locally authored configuration (from the in-app configuration window). `_meta.json` records which saved configuration is applied; each is a `<id>.json` file alongside it. Ignored when a managed profile is present. |
3333| `local-agent-mode-sessions/.../cowork_account_settings.json` | User-level preferences set in the app (display name, locale, memory toggle). |
34| `local-agent-mode-sessions/` | Cowork and Chat conversation history. One `local_<uuid>.json` file plus a working directory per session, scoped by account and organization ID. The working directory includes an `uploads/` subdirectory with copies of files attached to the conversation and an `outputs/` subdirectory for files Claude creates. |
34| `local-agent-mode-sessions/` | Cowork and Chat conversation history. One `local_<uuid>.json` file plus a working directory per session, scoped by the `ant-did` device identifier and the organization ID, not by who is signed in to the app. The working directory includes an `uploads/` subdirectory with copies of files attached to the conversation and an `outputs/` subdirectory for files Claude creates. |
3535| `local-agent-mode-sessions/.../memory/` | Cowork memory: a `CLAUDE.md` instructions file plus a `memory/` subdirectory of Markdown notes Claude writes about the user's preferences, projects, and feedback. See [Memory](#memory). |
3636| `local-agent-mode-sessions/.../spaces/<projectId>/memory/` | Markdown memory notes for one project, used by Cowork sessions and Chat conversations inside that project. See [Memory](#memory). |
3737| `local-agent-mode-sessions/.../<sessionId>/audit.jsonl` | Append-only log of session events (tool invocations, permission decisions, file operations). Each entry is HMAC-chained to the previous one so edits or deletions are detectable; the companion `.audit-key` file holds the per-session signing key, encrypted via the OS keychain. |
