[DOCS] Memory docs are missing `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MEMORY_PATH` override behavior

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory

Section/Topic

Auto-memory storage location and environment variable overrides.

Current Documentation

The storage location section currently states:

Each project gets its own memory directory at ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/.

No documentation currently exists for overriding this location via CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MEMORY_PATH.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.64 adds CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MEMORY_PATH to override the auto-memory directory with a direct path. Current memory docs only describe the default derived path and do not explain:

• Env var override behavior
• Scope and precedence
• Path requirements and caveats

Suggested Improvement

Add an "Override auto-memory location" subsection that covers:

1. CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MEMORY_PATH semantics.
2. Precedence relative to default project-derived path.
3. Example values and cross-platform path examples.
4. Safety notes (permissions, shared paths, cleanup expectations).

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
