What

The helper that converts backslashes to forward slashes now also splits the path and maps every segment through a transform, falling back to the segment unchanged. New sets that cut reserved and ignored names to six characters suggest filename sanitisation for sync, but the transform itself is not identifiable in this build.

replaceAll("\\", "/")

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