What
Auto memory is Claude Code saving notes it learns for later sessions. Before, /memory had only a lasting on/off toggle for it. Changes:
- Session toggle: a new row turns auto memory on or off for the current session only.
- Project picks: picking a project can now be refused, and not saved, while writes are on.
- Session kind: some kinds of session can refuse the choice.
- Account memory: the tool that edits memory settings accepts an account memory setting and reports an error when raising an account setting is refused.
- The "Account memory" line is removed from the selector.
Why
You get finer control over memory, but also new cases where a choice is refused, so watch for those messages.

When the session toggle row appears is not stated.
Anthropic's release notes agree
Changed /memory so that Auto-memory can no longer be turned on from a background session or from a session one of Claude Code's own tools…
