What's Wrong?
Claude Code consistently skips a specific rule defined in both CLAUDE.md and a memory file, even after acknowledging the rule and correcting violations within the same session.
What Should Happen?
Doc comments are filled in automatically before any response involving code, without user prompting.

Steps to Reproduce
Concrete Example (2026-04-16)
- Missing doc comment on Server_TravelToSession in SessionController.h was pointed out
- Claude acknowledged and fixed it
- Claude then wrote SessionNotesPanel.h with three empty /** */ placeholders and a missing NativeConstruct doc comment
- User had to point it out again
- Claude fixed it again and said "from here forward" — the same phrase used in prior sessions
