What
Arming the git-backed sync engine now has its own outcome for a source with no git repository, reported in seed telemetry rather than folded into generic failure. Overlay sources carry a reason for withholding their first send if opening fails, and an already-armed record is reported back as recorded instead of being dropped when the caller has bailed.
