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.

Directory-sync overlay always applies when one exists

Directory Sync

The directory-sync overlay always applies now; the internal flag that could skip it is gone.

What

Syncing a directory to a cloud session previously checked an internal enable flag and could skip the overlay, warning that it was disabled. That flag and its skip path are gone: if an overlay exists it is applied and the sync start event fires.

Details
  • The old dir_sync_overlay_disabled warning and its {status:"disabled"} result no longer occur.
  • The sync request now carries a description of the overlay (sha256 and size) and an upload-only marker, set when your directory-sync consent is upload-only.

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