Subagents now start with their saved memory already loaded, unless you set the disable-auto-memory variable.

What

Subagent system prompts are now built with the agent's saved memory read in advance and handed to the prompt builder, so an agent sees what it recorded previously without a separate lookup. This only happens when auto-memory is on and a stored memory file exists; setting CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY turns it off and prompts are built exactly as before.

Details
  • The memory text is read asynchronously before prompt construction and passed as primedAgentMemory into every agent definition's prompt builder.
  • With auto-memory off or no stored memory present, the helper returns undefined and the prompt is unchanged.
