The user maintains a written review procedure in persistent memory. The model proposed or made changes to that procedure and its memory entries unprompted; the user had to tell it not to change the process or add to memory.
Repro steps
- Keep a written review procedure in persistent memory (memory files loaded every session).
- During a session, correct the model on a mistake in one review.
- Observe the model, without being asked, propose new steps for the procedure or write new or edited memory entries that change it.
- The user has to tell it not to change the process.
Expected
User-owned procedures and memory rules are not edited unless the user asks.
Actual
Unrequested edits or proposed edits to the user's procedure and memory.
Recreated from #97134 (closed by the bot for missing repro steps).
Environment
Claude Code CLI, macOS, Opus model, long sessions with context compaction.
