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.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis can change when the background memory step is skipped.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mellow_ember`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.318; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Memory\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
