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.

Claude Code v2.1.242

Cloud-to-local file sync distinguishes Claude's earlier versions from your edits

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Directory Sync

Syncing down from the cloud now tells your own edits apart from earlier versions Claude wrote.

What

When syncing files down from a cloud session, replacement notes now tell apart a local copy that is an earlier version Claude wrote from your own uncommitted edits, and deletions are accounted for in detail.

Details
  • New counters reported by the sync worker include deletes considered, files moved to trash, files kept because they changed, tombstone mismatches, refused trash operations, deletions withheld remotely, deletions capped, and earlier cloud versions kept.
  • The worker also logs when authentication recovers after a run was refused.
