Cloud Sessions

Starting a cloud session from a shallow clone now picks a workable upload path or explains why it can't.

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

What

Before uploading your repository to a cloud session, Claude Code now checks whether the clone has truncated history and picks a workable path: bundle a narrower slice, fall back to a snapshot of the working tree with no history, or refuse with an explanation.

Details
  • The outright refusal happens when the current branch has no commits yet and the other branches are cut short; the message suggests committing first or running git fetch --unshallow.
  • Cancelling the upload is now reported as aborted rather than as a failure.
  • A new metric records the scope, size and build time of each bundle.
  • The shallow-history probe runs only when tengu_violin_wood is on, which falls back to off; the rest applies always.
Evidence

The current branch has no commits yet, and the other branches of this shallow clone are cut short, so nothing here can be bundled; commit first, or deepen the clone (git fetch --unshallow)

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