Claude Code v2.1.295 ·

Some settings files can no longer choose where auto memory is stored

When finding autoMemoryDirectory, Claude Code now skips settings sources that fail a new check, so they cannot move the memory folder

Unclear It is not stated which settings sources fail the new check, so it is unclear whether a project-level autoMemoryDirectory is still honored.

What

When Claude Code works out the autoMemoryDirectory setting, which chooses the folder where auto memory is stored, it now skips settings sources that fail a new check. Before, it looked through every source in order and used the first one that set it.

The skipped sources may be project-level ones, such as settings stored in a repository. This behaviour is on unless it is switched off remotely.

Why

This stops a repository's own settings from redirecting where Claude Code writes its memory files.
