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.

The model is told when it is working from stale files

Cloud Sync

Claude is told when sync is offline and it is working from stale files.

What

When the cloud's file service stops answering, Claude is now told that sync with your machine is offline, that the current turn is running on stale files, that your newer changes may be missing, and that it should be informed when sync returns.

Details
  • Separate wording covers sync being known-offline, sync status being unknown, and recovery.
Evidence

Directory sync: the cloud's file service is not answering, so file sync with the user's machine is OFFLINE for now

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