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.

Directory sync progress shows up in the transcript

Directory Sync

Directory sync progress now appears inline in your transcript.

What

When Claude Code is syncing a directory, progress notices are now a proper transcript item rather than something the renderer had to be told about separately, so sync updates appear inline with the conversation.

Details
  • The transcript renderer and the event filter previously accepted only polled-event items on that branch; they now also accept a dir_sync_notice item.
  • These notices are excluded from one of the paths that collapses consecutive messages, so a sync notice does not get folded into neighbouring output.
  • Sync state also gained scheduling fields for cancelling and re-running a rescan when the session goes idle (idleRescanCancel, idlePassOwed, cancelGeneration).
Evidence

dir_sync_notice

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