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.
