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.

Cloud sessions get explicit directory-sync instructions and an encryption note

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Directory Sync

Cloud sessions now state that secrets and gitignored files never sync and synced files are encrypted.

What

When directory sync is active, the model is told that the cloud checkout mirrors your machine, which files never leave it, and not to stash, reset or clean the working tree. Users also see a line stating "Secrets, credentials, and gitignored files are never synced and all synced files are encrypted at rest."

Details
  • The excluded categories named to the model are dot-led paths, dependency and build directories, and credential-like filenames.
Evidence

Secrets, credentials, and gitignored files are never synced and all synced files are encrypted at rest.

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