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.

Claude Code v2.1.242

Memory writes into read-only stores say plainly that nothing was shared

Use it now
Useful3 Signal3
Memory Notable not in their notes

Writes into read-only memory stores now warn they were saved locally only and will be overwritten.

CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MEMORY_RO_UNSAVED_NOTICE
What

Writing to a file under a memory store mounted read-only now returns a notice that the write was saved locally only, will not sync, and will be overwritten by the next pull, along with a remedy naming the writable stores to use instead. A per-turn scan also lists files that exist only on this machine and tells the model to correct the user if it claimed the content was saved. Set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MEMORY_RO_UNSAVED_NOTICE to turn the scan off.

Details
  • The remedy line is computed from the stores that are actually writable, not a fixed string.
  • The per-turn summary is queued as context for the model, so the correction happens in the conversation rather than only in tool output.
Evidence

This file's memory store is mounted read-only: writes are never synced, and the next sync pull will overwrite local edits with server content. This write was saved locally only and is NOT in shared memory.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
