[FEATURE] Memory writes should be visible to the user in the terminal

Problem Statement

When Claude Code writes to its memory system (~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/), files are created outside the repo with no clear display of what was written. This creates a persistent hidden state that silently shapes future agent behavior across sessions.

Proposed Solution

Suggestions:

1. Show memory content inline when written (like file diffs)
2. Startup indicator: "3 memories loaded for this project (run /memories to view)"
3. A /memories command to list, view, and delete active memories
4. Consider requiring explicit approval for memory writes

Additional Context

Core principle: The user should always know what persistent state exists and how it influences the agent(stateless vs stateful behaviour). No hidden context.
