TL;DR

The "autoMemoryDirectory" option may not be working properly due to a potential issue introduced in version 2.1.121, and checking the configuration or downgrading to a previous version might be necessary.

Guidance

• Verify that the "autoMemoryDirectory" option is correctly configured in the setting.local.json file and that the file is being read correctly by the Claude Code CLI.
• Check the error message for any clues about the lock acquisition failure and its relation to the "autoMemoryDirectory" option.
• Consider downgrading to version 2.1.119 to see if the issue persists, which could help determine if the problem is specific to version 2.1.121.
• Review the documentation for any changes to the "autoMemoryDirectory" option in version 2.1.121 that might affect its behavior.

Notes

The provided error message seems unrelated to the "autoMemoryDirectory" option at first glance, but it might be a symptom of a larger issue. Without more information about the expected behavior of the "autoMemoryDirectory" option, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to version 2.1.119, as it is the last known working version for the "autoMemoryDirectory" option, and this will help to isolate if the issue is indeed version-specific.
