Unclear It is not clear what the new option changes about when memory saving is skipped.

What

Claude Code can save useful notes from a conversation to its memory in the background. It skips this when the conversation has already written to memory itself. That check now takes an extra option, which is only turned on when a condition holds and a setting controlled from Anthropic's servers is on. Without a server answer, that setting is off.

Why

This can change when the background memory step is skipped.
