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.

Directory sync skips git work when nothing has changed

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Directory Sync

Repeated syncs on an unchanged repo are faster because two git commands are skipped.

What

Taking a snapshot of your working tree now detects the case where everything is already clean and skips two git commands entirely, reusing the existing index instead. Repeated syncs on an untouched repo are faster.

Details
  • The --refresh and write-tree invocations are skipped when the clean condition holds.
  • The snapshot records the index tree it reused and whether the tree was clean.
Evidence

indexStatClean: ae.length === 0

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