What
When a folder is too big to seed a cloud session, the refusal now lists the total size, the limit, and the biggest files, and points out that a .gitignore in the folder is respected so you can exclude what the session does not need.
Details
A separate branch covers folders holding more files than a session can start with.
A third refusal lists files that changed while they were being read.
Remove or ignore what the session does not need (a .gitignore in this folder is honoured) and start again
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

tengu_ccr_bundle_seed_enabledGate removed from the code
This release deleted the gate from the code while it was still reading on for the account this site reads, so the code path no longer asks a flag before running.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
