What
Claude Code now shows explicit messages when project memory can't be used. One message explains that project memory tools throw an error when running through the remote-session bridge, because that bridge has no memory access. A separate message explains when memory access is simply turned off or the server doesn't yet support it, noting that this is re-checked the next time context is rebuilt or a new session starts.
Why
These messages make it clear why project memory isn't working in a given situation, distinguishing a structural limitation (remote-session bridge) from a temporary or configuration-based one (access off or not yet supported), and confirming it will be re-checked later rather than staying broken indefinitely.
