What
Memory here means the saved notes Claude Code loads into a session. Claude Code now starts loading them earlier, as soon as files begin downloading, instead of waiting. After a turn (one exchange between you and Claude), it checks memory again when a recheck is due.
Why
Starting early should cut the wait for memory in headless sessions (runs without the interactive screen) and remote sessions.
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 whether a switch controls whether this runs.
