What
A new function builds a permission-check for a background task referred to as 'this background memory pass'. It only allows a tool call to proceed if all of the following hold:
a CCR memory MCP server is mounted for the session
the tool isn't blocked by an existing session permission rule
the tool's name appears in an allow-list
for tools that can write, the current conversation turn hasn't already moved on
If no CCR memory server is present, the background memory pass is blocked entirely.
Why
This lets a background process manage memory-related work using a small, controlled set of tools without opening up broader tool access, and prevents write operations from landing after the relevant turn has already ended.
