Claude Code now explains two new reasons memory writes can be rejected: content screening and an oversized index file

What

When Claude Code tries to save something to its memory store and the server rejects it, two new rejection reasons now come with user-facing explanations:

  • content_screened: the write failed a safety screening, without specifying which part of the content triggered it
  • A size-cap rejection for the memory index file (MEMORY.md), which has a much smaller size limit than the cap applied to individual memory files
Why

This gives clearer feedback when a memory write fails, so you know whether it was blocked for safety reasons or because the index file grew past its (smaller) limit, rather than seeing an unexplained failure.
