Unclear It is not clear which sessions this stale-read check applies to.

What

Claude can keep notes in memory files and read them with memory_read. Claude Code now checks for files Claude read earlier that no longer appear in the memory listing. When it finds one, it can add a notice saying that the earlier memory_read result is stale.

The notice is controlled by a remote switch and applies only to one kind of session.

Why

Claude stops relying on notes that were deleted somewhere else.
