DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.
Memory files are tracked by how they entered the session
Under the hood

Memory
Claude Code now tracks how each memory file reached the session and whether it was used.

Anonymous. No account, no email.
What
New bookkeeping records how each memory file arrived (in the prompt body, surfaced, merely listed, or not at all) and whether it was later read, written, or both, then matches a memory the model names against that set. It exists to judge whether a cited memory was actually available; nothing new is shown to you.
Evidence
read_written
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
