Unclear Which markdown paths the new condition allows or blocks in the restricted mode is not stated.
What
Claude Code has a special permission rule for writing markdown (.md) files used as memory, meaning the notes Claude Code keeps between conversations. That rule now also applies when Claude Code is in a restricted mode that blocks writing files outside allowed folders. Before, a different condition alone decided whether the rule applied.
Claude Code also records a new category in its usage reporting for paths that are exempt from this restriction.
Why
This changes which markdown memory paths Claude Code can write without asking when the restricted mode is on.
