What
Syncing a directory now reads the three git snapshots it compares in one go and, when the local and remote trees are identical, produces a clean result without running a merge at all.
Details
Failure to read the snapshots now reports "could not read the HEAD or laptop snapshot trees" instead of naming a single tree.
A merge-base failure returns a structured git error saying "could not wrap the merge base" rather than aborting the whole sync plan.
Evidence
could not read the HEAD or laptop snapshot trees
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
