What
Uploading your working tree to a cloud session now stops in three more cases, all reported as refused: git cannot be found on the startup PATH once directories a cloud session could write to are excluded, a project or local .claude settings file (or --settings) sets a git-relevant environment variable, or a private git directory under ~/.claude/seed-admin cannot be created.
Details
- Telemetry outcomes are
git_not_on_pathandadmin_dir_failed; the settings case adds new event fieldssteeringandsteered_bynaming the variable involved. - A partial clone with an older git now reports
refusedrather than a git error.

Confirmed since
Anthropic's documentation has since written up --settings, on CLI reference.
