[BUG] "wrote N memories" count in status line is always N+1
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 21, 2026 by WhymustIhaveaname Closed Apr 18, 2026
Description
When Claude saves memories, the status line overcounts by 1. Writing 1 memory shows "wrote 2 memories" because updating the MEMORY.md index file is also counted as a memory write.
Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Claude to remember something (triggers a single memory save)
- Status line shows "wrote 2 memories" instead of "wrote 1 memory"
Expected Behavior
Count should exclude the MEMORY.md index update. 1 memory written → "wrote 1 memory".
