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 wait for the first file upload before sending your message

Cloud Sessions not in their notes

Cloud sessions hold your first message until your project files have actually uploaded.

--cloud
What

A cloud session now holds back your first message until the initial upload of your project files has actually landed on the server, instead of sending it against an empty or half-populated workspace. While waiting it prints progress lines, retries the first push on a backoff schedule, and if it never lands it stops with a "seed_incomplete" result. Reached on any claude --cloud session; no flag guards it.

Details
  • The wait is implemented as a gate on the send manager, registered with onRelease: "withhold", so queued input is held rather than dropped.
  • Retries only apply on the initial "create" upload, not on later incremental syncs.
  • New telemetry tengu_dir_sync_git_first_send_wait reports waited_ms and one of wedged, released, withdrawn, or landed.
