What
When a cloud sync round is left with only files that are being held open, it now ends as deferred with the reason "held_open". The result lists those files and gives their count (heldCount). Before, this case led to a retry.
Why
In practice, sync waits on files that are still in use rather than repeatedly retrying them.
