What
The prompt used for memory consolidation runs picked up two options. One replaces the index-maintenance step with a pure prune step and drops the instruction to read the index file. The other adds a note that the memory tools are not available during the run, so it should only touch the memory directory. The second is requested only when the session is not running under CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE.
Details
Which variant is used is decided at runtime by the caller; the underlying feature is otherwise unchanged.
