What
When CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES isn't set, Claude Code's memory-store watcher now runs an extra check before firing the event that marks the org-memory picker as mounted, replacing a differently-named check it used before. Alongside store discovery, a new asynchronous check also runs to detect whether another process already owns the local memory endpoint, reported as ownEndpointShadowed.
Why
This helps Claude Code avoid telling the interface the org-memory picker is ready when it isn't, and lets it notice when a different process is already using the local memory endpoint it would otherwise rely on.
