autoMemoryDirectory setting does not update the memory path in system prompt
증상
When autoMemoryDirectory is set in project settings, the system prompt still instructs the model to use the default path (~/.claude/projects/<encoded-path>/memory/). This causes the model to read/write memory at the wrong location, ignoring the custom setting entirely.
원인
Prompt structure conflict or ambiguous instruction caused the model to misinterpret the intended task. 카테고리: prompt-engineering.
해결법
Add an explicit override in project CLAUDE.md to force the model to use the correct path, since CLAUDE.md instructions take priority over the system prompt.
