When it does, it now:\n\n- Starts its GitHub App check early, before the other steps.\n\n- Asks GitHub whether your branch exists there, within a 15-second time limit.\n\n- Looks up the starting point again without your local copy of the remote branch when GitHub has no such branch.\n\n- Keeps track of an out-of-date branch and the commit it found for it.\n\n- Writes separate warnings for you and for Claude.\n\nIt previously worked out the branch in one step without asking GitHub.\n\n**Why**\n\nWarnings about work you have not pushed to GitHub, which a cloud session cannot see, should now be more accurate.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
