Under the hood

A new 'checkout_empty' directory-sync origin kind is always treated as not pre-seeded

What

The code that tracks how a synced directory was originally set up (for example, cloned, seeded, or from an existing folder) gained a new kind called checkout_empty. Unlike the other kinds, it's always treated as never having been pre-seeded with content.

Why

This lets Claude Code's directory-sync feature correctly distinguish an empty checkout from other setup methods, which likely affects what it assumes is already present when syncing starts.
