Creator here. I built Continuity, a VS Code extension that gives AI coding assistants persistent memory. First commit: October 3, 2025. Published on VS Code Marketplace: October 31, 2025. In 2026, Claude Code shipped:

MEMORY.md (local markdown storage) Auto-memory (automatic context capture) Auto-dream (automatic insight capture)

My codebase from October 2025:

SESSION_NOTES.md (local markdown storage) AutoDecisionLogger.ts (automatic context capture) ConversationAnalyzer.ts (automatic insight extraction) ArchitecturalFileWatcher.ts (file change detection)

Same architecture. Same behavior. Four months apart. I sent three formal communications to Anthropic's legal team requesting acknowledgment of my prior art notice. I tried their support chat again this month. Four attempts. Zero response. I'm not claiming they copied code — I can't prove access. I'm not threatening legal action. I'm asking for acknowledgment that my communication exists. All evidence is timestamped and public: git commits, marketplace listing, support ticket number. Question for HN: What recourse do indie developers actually have when a platform ships their architecture and won't communicate?
