What
Directory sync treats more files as credential-like and refuses to upload them: .bash_login, .bash_logout, .bash_aliases, .zlogin, .zlogout and microsoft.vscode_profile.ps1.
Details
A sync request that times out now logs dir-sync: lane request timed out at warning level instead of surfacing as an exception.
Retry classification records whether any bytes had been sent when a request returned a 5xx or was aborted, so a partially sent upload is not retried blindly.
Evidence
dir-sync: lane request timed out
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
