That handoff now works by file name:\n\n- Files placed in the handoff folder can be refreshed by name.\n\n- A file is replaced only if the copy on disk has not changed, checked by its size, a fingerprint of its contents and its modification time.\n\n- Placed files are written fully to disk after copying.\n\n- A table matching file names to their stored copies is saved and read back, so it carries across separate Claude Code processes.\n\n**Why**\n\nFiles stay in sync across handoffs in remote sessions, and a file that changed on disk is not overwritten.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
