AutoMem file scanning now checks a new mode condition and restricts which files it can scan

What

AutoMem (Claude Code's automatic memory-file handling) now runs an extra condition check before scanning for pinned or automatic memory files, in addition to its existing checks. It also now filters candidate files against a computed list of allowed directories, so only files whose path falls under that allowed set can be scanned as memory headers.

Why

This narrows where AutoMem will look for memory files, reducing the chance it picks up files outside the intended locations.

The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what the new mode condition represents or when it evaluates to false.
