Claude Code for Continuous Integration

Your CI pipeline uses Claude Code to auto-generate and commit test scaffolding for each pull request. Three weeks after deployment, developers begin reporting that Claude occasionally commits test files to the wrong service directory despite a CLAUDE.md rule specifying the correct output path per service. You run /memory and confirm the CLAUDE.md file loaded correctly in every failing session. What is the most likely root cause, and what is the most effective fix?

A. The CLAUDE.md file is loading too late in the session; move the path rules to the system prompt so they are present before any tool calls execute and the timing issue is resolved.

B. The path rules are likely too vague or the file has grown large enough that individual rules receive less attention; rewrite them with explicit per-service directory mappings and trim unrelated content.

C. Add a permissions deny rule inside CLAUDE.md blocking writes outside each service's expected directory so Claude cannot physically commit to the wrong path under any circumstance.

D. The per-service subdirectory CLAUDE.md files are not loading at session start; consolidate all path rules into the root CLAUDE.md so every rule is guaranteed present before any tool call runs.
