What
When Claude Code runs a cloud session (a session running on Anthropic's infrastructure rather than your own machine) and a file repeatedly fails to upload into it, the error message now tells you which of two situations you're in:
the cloud session has none of your files at all, in which case it offers to start a new cloud session
the cloud session has an out-of-date or incomplete copy of your files
Why
Previously a sync failure gave you the same message regardless of cause, leaving you to guess whether the fix was to retry or to start over. Knowing which case applies makes it clearer what to do next, and the offer to start a fresh cloud session covers the case where syncing has nothing to build on.
