What
The bookkeeping that tracks which file installs have been sent during claude --cloud directory sync was reworked. Installs are now compared against a tracked "folded install" record, and only re-included if they materially differ — specifically if the turn, a truncated flag, or the set of not-installed files changed.
Why
This avoids re-sending an unchanged install list after an internal generation bump, cutting down on redundant sync traffic for claude --cloud sessions.
