Fixes a regression introduced in Claude Code versions after 2.1.77 where the MEMORY directory is no longer accessible across all projects by default. Add `additionalDirectories` pointing to `~/.claude/MEMORY` so the MEMORY context is available in every project session, and add the corresponding `Write(~/.claude/MEMORY/**)` allow permission so PAI hooks can write to it. Tilde paths confirmed working (consistent with existing permission patterns). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tested — this fix doesn't workWe independently tested this exact approach (tilde-form Full analysis and evidence at anthropics/claude-code#29013 (comment: anthropics/claude-code#29013 (comment)) — covers four different approaches we tried, all of which fail:
This is a Claude Code bug, not a PAI config issue. No settings-level workaround exists until Anthropic fixes the hardcoded protection. |

Problem
A regression introduced in Claude Code versions after 2.1.77 broke the MEMORY directory context injection. Users running newer Claude Code versions find that
~/.claude/MEMORYis no longer accessible across projects, causing PAI's dynamic context (learning signals, session history, Wisdom Frames, etc.) to fail silently.Reported in discussion #992 — reverting to Claude Code 2.1.77 resolves it, but that's not a sustainable fix.
Solution
Two surgical additions to
Releases/v4.0.3/.claude/settings.json:additionalDirectories— registers~/.claude/MEMORYas an additional working directory so Claude Code exposes it across all project sessionsWrite(~/.claude/MEMORY/**)in theallowpermissions — lets PAI hooks write to MEMORY without prompting (required for WorkCompletionLearning, IntegrityCheck, and other session-end hooks)Tilde paths (
~) confirmed working — consistent with existing permission patterns already in this file (e.g.Write(~/.claude/settings.json)).Files Changed
