What
Sync-point records for directory sync now include a chain field that captures a bounded list of recent generations that were sent, each with its generation number, worktree commit, sha256 checksum, size, and delivery method (via). This is trimmed to a cap and sits alongside the existing fastForwardedTo list.
Why
Keeping a checksummed history of recent sync generations gives folder sync a way to verify or recover state more precisely than before.
