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.

Secrets in commits now block sync, not just uploads

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Directory Sync

Sync now refuses to carry commits containing credential-looking or Read-denied files.

What

Before taking a snapshot, sync scans the commits the cloud session has not seen yet. If any of them contain files whose names look like credentials, or that your Read permission rules deny, sync refuses to carry those commits and tells you that deleting the file in a later commit does not fix it.

Details
  • Staged files matching the same rules also stop the snapshot, with advice to unstage rather than commit.
  • The remedy given is to amend or reset the offending commits.
  • Paths held back are listed back to you as "Left on this machine, not synced".
Evidence

amend or reset the commits (deleting the file in a later commit is not enough)

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