What

Cloud session failures now name a cause and a next step instead of failing quietly. Disconnects distinguish the stream closing, an untrusted device, a stale session needing a fresh sign-in on this machine, and a rejected attach, and creation failures cover a session that was made but could not be bound to this machine. The separate list of local files that were not sent to a cloud session was rewritten in the same pass, so each exclusion says which file it is about and why.

Details
  • Disconnect and creation messages carry what to do, usually re-signing in on this machine or starting a new session because the old one may have been archived.
  • Creation failures say whether the unbindable session was archived afterwards.
  • Session ids are truncated and hashed in these messages, so an id beginning cse_ is reported as session_<hash>.
  • The file exclusion list leads with settings that failed to parse, which leaves your Read permission rules unknown, and points you at /status.
  • Git filter exclusions name LFS and git-crypt as examples.
  • Read rules set to deny or ask are described as covering the specific file rather than in general terms.
Evidence

Cloud session disconnected, a git filter (LFS, git-crypt) applies to

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