What
Directory sync uploads your local files to the cloud side of a session using git. Claude Code now tracks whether the cloud side has actually picked up ('vouched for') what was uploaded, computing state such as when it was last confirmed and how long it's been settled. If the cloud session hasn't consumed anything synced from a directory yet, Claude Code now shows a warning that changes made locally and on the cloud side may not be reaching each other.
Why
This surfaces a case where directory sync looks like it's working locally but isn't actually reaching the cloud side, so you know to check rather than assuming your changes are in sync.
