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
