What's Wrong?

Claude code is writing/ adjustingconstantly memory without asking for permisssion. silencly memory is created/updated/deleted. Thats frustrating, because u have allways to check if claude has done anything in the memory, going to the memory file and check it.

What Should Happen?

claude code has a flage that it ask for mermission to change anything on any memory. Like when it will change any file in the normal chat mode.
