Internal ChangesSection of the release
What
The file-sync 'seed gate,' which can hold back the very first outbound send of a file until a release or withdrawal decision is made, now has a standing flag in its configuration. Previously a hold was always time-boxed, limited to one hold per fixed time window. With standing set, one implementation of the gate removes that time-box entirely, while a related implementation instead forces the hold to keep persisting rather than expiring on its own.
Why
This changes whether a sync hold on a newly-created file clears itself automatically after a set time or stays in place until something explicitly releases it.
