Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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.

Cloud Sessions

A cloud session seeded from your local files holds your first message until it confirms your changes arrived.

What

When a cloud session is seeded from your local working tree rather than from the remote repository, the first message is now held until the session confirms your changes arrived. If it has not, sending is refused with an explanation that the session would otherwise be working from GitHub's copy of the repository; send again to go ahead anyway.

Details
  • The hold is only armed for sessions seeded from an overlay of your local checkout. Sessions seeded any other way behave as before.
  • A separate wording covers the case where you stopped waiting.
Evidence

the cloud session has not confirmed it has your local changes; send it again to go ahead regardless

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