Critical fix
- Manual saves work again in projects with older manual sessions. In v15.16.0,
save_memory(andPOST /api/memory/save) returned HTTP 500 withUNIQUE constraint failed: sdk_sessions.memory_session_idin any project whose manual session was created before 15.16.0 with an older session ID shape. Every save in that project failed. claude-mem now finds and reuses that older session instead of trying to create a duplicate. Deleted sessions still get a fresh ID, as in 15.16.0 (#5842).
If you are on 15.16.0, update to 15.16.1.
New (both off by default)
- Opt out of bundled skills: list skill names in
CLAUDE_MEM_SKILLS_DISABLEDin~/.claude-mem/settings.json, as a comma-separated string or a JSON array (for example"make-plan,do,smart-explore"). The list is re-applied after installs, repairs and marketplace updates; new skills stay enabled unless you name them (#5837, thanks @liuyinchu, closes #5132). - Line anchors in file context: set
CLAUDE_MEM_LINE_ANCHORS_ENABLEDto"true"and past observations about a file point at the line where that code is now (@L123), or say(code changed since)when it moved away. Nothing is guessed. With the setting off, nothing is recorded and the hook output is unchanged (#5841, thanks @devkancheti4-design, closes #4943).
Fixes
- OpenClaw: the installer works on OpenClaw 2026.11.2 again, and current OpenClaw records prompts, injects context and summarizes sessions without the removed
before_agent_starthook. Older OpenClaw versions behave as before (#5840, fixes #5838, reported by @JesseFranzen). - Warp uninstall:
npx claude-mem uninstallnow removes theclaude-memMCP server thatinstall --ide warpadds to~/.warp/.mcp.json, instead of leaving it pointed at the deleted plugin (#5839, thanks @tanishqbaweja). - Telemetry IDs: recording a consent decision (installer prompt,
telemetry enable,telemetry disable) keeps the saved anonymous ID, so one install no longer shows up as two. Thetelemetry enabledisclosure now lists the events actually sent (#5836, thanks @wiesenthal).
