Claude Code now shows a specific reason when file sync is off for such a session on this computer:\n\n- The session was created without tying this computer to it, so it starts with none of this folder's files, working from GitHub's copy or a one-time upload instead\n\n- This computer's device key, the secret that identifies it, could not be read\n\n- This computer could not be confirmed as the bound device\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you use a computer that is not tied to the session, you now learn why your files are not syncing instead of getting no reason or a vague one.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
