What
On managed remote sessions, staged files can be written to paths under /outputs/ and are writable (mode 420) rather than read-only. Previously only /uploads/ was accepted. Adding a directory is still limited to /uploads/.
Details
Restricted to sessions whose remote-session id and environment kind mark them as managed; on any other runner the attempt is rejected with a specific error code.
Skips the write when the local copy is already newer, sweeps its temporary files, and reports through its own telemetry channel.
Evidence
staging under /outputs/ is only supported on managed remote sessions
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
