This is clearly shown in the settings/config (or at least was last time I looked), if people are surprised by this I recommend asking claude code what settings you can tweak

Why ask for what settings you can tweak? It's supposed to be the case that the defaults are good for many, and then when something needs tweaking you ask about it at that point. And still though this 30 day limit might be good for many, it's actually pretty bad overall because it leads to irreversible loss for those who it isn't good.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh yeah - it commonly doesn't update my BACKLOG.md after shipping something. It tends to catch itself on the next set of work, but sometimes I have it clean up based on recent commits.

Have you tried using hooks? I have a similar changelog except I write it to a SQLite database for searchability across all my sessions. I use the Stop/StopFailure hooks and it reliably writes to the change log. I used to just use CLAUDE.md instructions for this, but as you've experienced it's not completely reliable. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks

thank you! That looks really interesting, I'll try it out.
