What

--cloud starts a cloud session, which is Claude Code running on a remote machine instead of your computer. When it cannot proceed the usual way, it prints a fallback hint suggesting what to do. Those hints changed:

  • The hint text now depends on the sync mode, which is how your project's files are copied to the cloud.
  • The other_forge hint now fills in, from a fixed table, which parts of your project get uploaded and which stay on your machine.
  • The no_remote hint, used when there is no GitHub remote (no linked copy of your project on GitHub), now shows the same shared suggestion as the other cases. It no longer prints a fixed CLAUDE_CODE_DIR_SYNC_ENGINE=none line.
Why

The advice you see when a cloud session falls back now matches the sync mode in use and tells you what will leave your machine, instead of always pointing at one fixed setting.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not give the new wording of the hints or say which situation `other_forge` covers.
