What
Memories recalled from CLAUDE.md and project memory files are now annotated with their age, warning Claude when recalled information may be outdated.
Details
- Memories older than 1 day display their age (e.g., "Memory (saved yesterday)" or "Memory (saved 5 days ago)")
- Memories older than 1 day include a system reminder: "Memories are point-in-time observations, not live state — claims about code behavior or file:line citations may be outdated. Verify against current code before asserting as fact."
- This helps prevent Claude from asserting stale file:line references or code behavior as current fact
Evidence
Memory age formatting and staleness warnings (search for "Memories are point-in-time observations", "claims about code behavior")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
