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.

Start-up explanations for unusual checkout shapes

Cloud Sessions not in their notes

Cloud startup now explains unusual checkout shapes, including that nothing syncs back and pushes won't work.

git worktree add
What

The messages shown when a cloud session starts gained two reasons covering a checkout made with git worktree add and one whose git directory sits outside the working tree. A linked working tree's changes are carried into the session, but nothing syncs back and the session cannot push to GitHub.

Details
  • Whether you see these depends entirely on the shape of your checkout; there is no flag.
Evidence

this checkout keeps its git directory outside the working tree (a .git file, or a git directory elsewhere), a shape this machine cannot yet compare with GitHub

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