Some places are never served.\n\nBefore, the message said only that the helper had been started from your home directory. It now reads: \"this helper was started in a folder or repository that is never served, such as your home directory or a hidden folder there; serve a project folder instead.\"\n\nThere is also a new reason for when the helper is started in a repository that is never served: \"this helper was started in a repository that is never served.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you start the helper from a hidden folder or an excluded repository, you now get an explanation that fits. The message also tells you what to do: start it from a project folder.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
