CLAUDE.md is a file of standing instructions that Claude Code reads at the start of a session. This trimming can now also apply to diskless sessions, which run without a local disk, such as some remote sessions.\n\nIn those sessions the trimming needs a second remote switch plus checked writes. Both remote switches are off unless they are turned on from the server, and this site's account read both as off in an earlier release.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how large CLAUDE.md files are cut in remote and diskless sessions.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mellow_thistle`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, 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- Flag `tengu_temporal_haven`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, 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 Files\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
