Agents consistently ignore written instructions about memory routing and default to writing local MEMORY.md files regardless of rules in RUNTIME.md, CLAUDE.md, or MEMORY.md itself. Instructions alone are insufficient — a technical gate is required. Changes: - Add tools/qa/prevent-memory-write.sh — PreToolUse hook that blocks Write/Edit/MultiEdit to ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/*.md (exit 2) - Register hook in runtime/claude/settings.json PreToolUse array - Update runtime/claude/RUNTIME.md: replace soft "Memory Override" note with hard-gate policy, what-goes-where table, and rationale - Rewrite guides/MEMORY.md: OpenBrain as primary layer, blocked silos table, project continuity files, how-the-hook-works section The correct behavior is now the only possible behavior for Claude Code. All agent learnings route to OpenBrain where every harness can read them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
