Directory sync gains an "overlay" mode, off unless asked for

Directory sync can overlay onto an existing checkout instead of recloning, but every caller leaves it off.

Overlay sync is implemented behind an option defaulting to false that no caller sets.

What

Directory sync can now be told to overlay changes onto an existing worker checkout instead of recloning it. The capability is carried on an options object that defaults to false, and every caller in this build falls back to false, so it is off.

Details
  • When a workspace wants an overlay but the capability is off, sync records dir_sync_overlay_disabled and reports status disabled.
  • The success paths record dir_sync_overlay_recloned and dir_sync_overlaid_head_moved.
Evidence

dir_sync_overlay_disabled

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
