DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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 tracks its journal and object lanes separately

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Directory Sync

Directory sync tracks two failure lanes separately so a stale journal is reported on its own.

What

The background worker that syncs a directory over git no longer treats a failure as one general offline state. It now counts failures on its journal lane and its object lane independently, so a stale journal is logged and surfaced as its own condition, and it takes a new wait-before-proceeding duration that applies to whichever lane is down.

Details
  • The offline signal is reported per lane, with the journal lane named specifically when it is the stale one, instead of a single shared counter covering both.
  • A configurable duration, internally laneDownProceedMs, sets how long the worker waits before proceeding while a lane is down.
  • Applies to cloud and self-hosted sessions that use directory sync.
