Bug Description

During session compaction (flush), the write tool is completely blocked with error: Memory flush writes are restricted to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; use that path only.

This makes it impossible to edit any file (including template.html, scripts, etc.) during flush, even when the file is unrelated to memory management.

Expected Behavior

• Flush should only restrict writes to memory files as a preference/priority
• The write tool should still be able to write to non-memory files when needed
• OR: There should be a way to bypass this restriction when user explicitly allows it (e.g., typing '写' should allow writes to continue)

Actual Behavior

1. Session context grows large → triggers compaction
2. Write tool is locked to memory file only
3. Even when user explicitly types '写' to unlock, the restriction is re-applied after just one or two messages
4. This makes any file editing during active conversation nearly impossible

Impact

• Cannot fix bugs or update files during normal conversation
• Forces waiting for lengthy flush cycles
• Severely impacts productivity when working on code/files

Suggested Fixes

1. Option A: Make flush restriction a soft-limit (writes to non-memory files allowed but discouraged during flush)
2. Option B: Add a config option to disable flush write restriction
3. Option C: Allow user to send a magic word that grants write permission for N minutes
4. Option D: When user sends '写', actually unlock writes for the remainder of the session
