When does this happen?

IF Auto-generated CLAUDE.md files are created in every subdirectory where files are read or modified, polluting the project and conflicting with manually maintained documentation.

How others solved it

THEN Introduce a setting (e.g., `CLAUDE_MEM_FOLDER_INDEX_ENABLED`) defaulting to `true` for backward compatibility. When set to `false`, the code that creates CLAUDE.md files should return early, preventing any auto-generation in subdirectories. This avoids filesystem pollution and complex `.gitignore` rules.

// In worker-service.cjs, modify generation function E4 to check setting:
const folderIndexEnabled = process.env.CLAUDE_MEM_FOLDER_INDEX_ENABLED !== 'false';
if (!folderIndexEnabled) return; // skip CLAUDE.md creation
