What

Cloud file sync has new messages that explain what went wrong. They cover:

  • Safe file placement being unavailable, with reasons such as no_ffi, remote_volume, no_procfs, or an old macOS version.
  • A lock folder that cannot be used.
  • Cloud uploads that this machine refuses.
  • Sync being turned off for the rest of the session. A session is one continuous Claude Code conversation.

One of the new lines begins "Cloud changes are not reaching this machine:".

Why

When sync fails, you get a stated reason in place of silence. That gives you a starting point for fixing the problem.

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 say where in Claude Code these messages appear or what "safe file placement" does.
