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.\n\nClaude Code also records a new category in its usage reporting for paths that are exempt from this restriction.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes which markdown memory paths Claude Code can write without asking when the restricted mode is on.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
