What
Claude Code scans what it is about to write for content that looks like secrets, such as passwords or access keys. This check used to cover only memory files, the notes Claude keeps for a team or an account.
When a session has no memory folder, the check now covers every file. Any file write whose content contains possible secrets is refused. The message explains that the session has no memory folder, so every file it writes is checked as a memory file would be.
Why
In sessions without local storage, such as some cloud sessions, writing secret-like content to any file is now blocked. If a write is refused there, look for passwords, keys or tokens in the content.
