What
The system that syncs a working tree (used for things like remote or background-agent checkouts) using git bundles has several additions:
hollowBases, a count tracked through push/pull results
a chained bundle flag, with chainBroken, previousLink, and lastLink handling for bundles that build on each other
tamperedNames counts, surfaced when the tool checks a tree's contents and finds unexpected object data
New telemetry fields include hollow_bases, tampered_names, sent_prerequisites, index_lock_throughout, head_moved_accepted, and head_moved_accepted_early.
Why
This lets Claude Code detect and report when a synced working tree's contents have been unexpectedly altered, and track the health of chained bundle transfers used to keep a working tree in sync.
