What
The directory-sync feature, which checks out git state to keep a synced copy up to date, now recognizes several new outcome states for a checkout operation:
checkout_mid_operation
checkout_unmerged
checkout_unborn
checkout_unreadable
snapshot_refused
no_ref
acknowledge
other
A new sync kind, checkout_empty, was also added.
Why
More granular outcome tracking lets Claude Code distinguish between different reasons a directory-sync checkout didn't complete cleanly, such as a repository mid-operation, unmerged paths, or an unborn branch, rather than lumping them together.
