What
Two checks that decide when Claude may write a file without asking you have changed:
- Memory files: Claude keeps notes as Markdown (
.md) files. Before, only automatic memory files could be written without a permission prompt. Now a second kind of memory location is allowed as well. - Windows paths: the check for suspicious Windows path patterns now also tests selected parts of a path against an extra list when the older checks find nothing. A match still shows "contains a suspicious Windows path pattern that requires manual approval".
Why
Both changes affect when Claude can write a file without first asking you.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear which memory locations the new rule covers or which Windows path patterns the extra list contains.
