extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by configuring Claude Code to explicitly disable the hidden memory system feature.

Guidance

  • Review the Claude Code configuration options to see if there's a setting to disable the hidden memory system.
  • Check the Anthropic API documentation to understand how to control memory usage and if there are any specific parameters that can be passed to disable this feature.
  • Consider reaching out to the Claude Code community or support team for guidance on how to achieve full autonomy over memory usage.
  • If this feature was working as expected in a previous version, compare the configuration and settings between the current and previous versions to identify any changes that might be causing the issue.

Notes

The lack of information about the last working version and additional details limits the ability to provide a more specific solution. The guidance provided is based on the assumption that the issue is related to the configuration or usage of the Claude Code and Anthropic API.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action seems to be trying to find a configuration workaround to disable the unwanted feature, as there's no clear indication of a fixed version that resolves this issue.
