What
Writing into a directory that belongs to a project memory store now gives one of two messages. If memory stores are configured through the CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES environment variable you get the existing overwrite warning; otherwise you get a new message saying the directory is a leftover local copy that nothing syncs or recalls.
Details
Which message you see is decided entirely by whether CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES is set.
Evidence
This file's directory is a leftover local copy of a project memory store that is no longer synced.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
