Anthropic deployed Auto Dream to address memory decay in Claude Code after 20+ sessions. The background sub-agent runs a four-phase consolidation cycle to merge duplicates, resolve contradictions, and convert relative dates - keeping the 200-line memory index functional. Developers reverse-engineered it before official docs appeared.
