What
Synced objects are now identified by a full directory-plus-suffix path rather than a bare name, and outbound publishing always goes through the direct client with a worker-side marker and optional stall and restart-pause timings. The older fallbacks (size-threshold direct upload, an over-cap row write, and an etag memo on rejected requests) are gone from this path.
Evidence
a sync object is named by a lowercase-hex sha256
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
