What

You can start a cloud session, which runs on Anthropic's servers, from an uploaded copy of the folder you are working in. When that is refused, the message used to say it was unavailable for HIPAA-regulated organizations. HIPAA is a US law about health data. The message now says: "Cloud sessions started from an uploaded copy of this working tree are disabled by your organization's policy. Start the session from a GitHub repository source instead."

Why

The refusal is no longer described as a health-data rule. It now points to organization policy in general, and it tells you to start from a GitHub repository instead.

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 doubtIt is not clear what triggers the refusal or whether it now applies to more organizations than before.
