Source Intelligence

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 sync watcher pauses itself when uploads go nowhere

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal3
Cloud Sessions

The file watcher stops itself if uploads go unacknowledged, resuming at the next sync point.

What

If the directory watcher keeps firing with nothing to upload, or several of its uploads ship without any acknowledgement from the cloud session, it stops watching until the next explicit sync point or until the remote side responds again.

Details
  • Applies whenever the watcher is running; there is no flag.
  • The exact number of no-op fires or unacknowledged uploads that trigger the pause is held in internal constants.
Evidence

pausing it until the next sync point ships

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