What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The engine that syncs your files and directories for cloud sessions now supports being remotely muted via an "emergency switch." It checks this switch both when sync starts and periodically afterward (via a recheck). When muted:
Sync pauses uploads and pulls instead of continuing as normal.
The user sees a warning message explaining that sync has been paused.
The sync engine's status reporting now distinguishes "muted" as its own state, separate from being shut down or blocked by another writer.
Why
This gives an operator a way to pause file syncing for a session remotely (for example, in an emergency), while clearly communicating to the user why sync has stopped rather than leaving them wondering.
