Source Intelligence

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 tell you when file sync goes offline

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Cloud Sessions

Cloud sessions now pop a dialog when file sync goes offline instead of failing quietly.

What

If file sync stops during a cloud session, Claude Code now asks the host to show a dialog saying sync is offline and that it will work on local files only until service is restored, instead of failing quietly.

Details
  • The outcome is reported as not_shown, dialog, dialog_unanswered or failed.
  • No feature flag; if the host does not advertise support for the dialog, the outcome is recorded as not_shown and nothing is displayed.
  • Error text passed to the host has control and ignorable characters stripped and is truncated with an ellipsis.

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