Unclear What choosing turns or inline changes is not stated.
What
The smaller_pass block in the JSON settings read from CLAUDE_CODE_POST_TURN_MEMORY_CONFIG now accepts a form setting:
turns is used when form is missing or not recognisedinline is the other choice
The mode of smaller_pass accepts only off or shadow. It cannot be set to enforce, which the first_look block does accept.
None of this is read unless the CLAUDE_CODE_POST_TURN_MEMORY environment variable is set.
Why
This part of post-turn memory is still an experiment that can only run in shadow mode. It affects nobody who has not set both environment variables.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
