Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

What

When the untracked files at your git root exceed the seeding budget, the upload is refused and you are told why instead of quietly starting from the git bundle alone.

Details
  • Same gating as the seeding feature itself: the tengu_violin_wood gate plus remoteFileMode set to container_sync.
  • The fallback is bundle-only seeding, and the existing seed telemetry records a too_many_untracked outcome.
