[DOCS] Memory docs still present auto-memory storage as fixed path and omit `autoMemoryDirectory`

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

Section/Topic

Auto-memory storage location configuration and the new autoMemoryDirectory setting.

Current Documentation

The auto-memory section currently says:

Auto memory is on by default. To toggle it, open /memory in a session and use the auto memory toggle, or set autoMemoryEnabled in your project settings:

And the storage location section says:

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

No documentation currently exists for configuring a custom auto-memory directory with autoMemoryDirectory.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Release v2.1.74 adds an autoMemoryDirectory setting to configure a custom directory for auto-memory storage.

Current memory docs still describe the storage path as fixed and only document autoMemoryEnabled plus CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY. Users are not told that the directory is configurable, where that setting belongs, or how it interacts with the default per-project path.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short subsection that documents:

1. The autoMemoryDirectory setting and where to place it.
2. How it changes or overrides the default ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/ path.
3. Scope and precedence relative to the default derived path and any environment-based overrides.
4. One example showing a custom directory.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
