[FEATURE] Automatic project memory inheritance per working directory

Problem Statement

Context
When working on a web application project across multiple Claude Code sessions, there is currently no automatic way to share context between sessions beyond manually maintaining a CLAUDE.md file.

Problem
Each new session starts cold. The only persistence mechanism is the CLAUDE.md file, which the user must remember to update manually at the end of each session. This creates friction and risk of losing important context (decisions made, architecture choices, work in progress).

Proposed Solution

Requested Feature
Implement an automatic project memory system tied to the working directory, similar to what ChatGPT/Codex offers with their "Projects" feature:

• When a session is opened in a directory, Claude automatically inherits the accumulated memory of all previous sessions run in that same directory
• Key decisions, technical choices, and progress are stored and recalled automatically without user intervention
• This memory would be scoped per project folder, keeping projects isolated from each other

Expected benefit
Users working on long-term projects across many sessions would have a seamless, coherent experience without manual context management — making Claude Code viable for real multi-session project work.
