Unclear Which command accepts --personal and what it does are not stated.

What

Several pieces point to a new personal mode and to cloud sessions that can reuse storage from an earlier session:

  • --personal is now a recognized flag, listed next to --allow-other-models and --unsandboxed.
  • Interactive start-up takes personal and persistentVolumeFromSessionId. It can also add a personalWithoutEffectNotification to the notification queue.
  • Start-up now calls primeCurrentRepository instead of detectCurrentRepositoryWithHost.
  • Creating a cloud session now sends persistentVolumeFromSessionId, and retries creation after a bundle notice.
  • When you resume a session and a feature check passes, the session's team is re-keyed and its team context and teammate colours are updated.
  • The ccr_disk_watchdog log line is now written only when a new condition holds. Before, it was always written.

Why

The members do not explain what --personal does. In practice it is a new start-up option, with a notification for the case where it has no effect. Resuming team sessions and creating cloud sessions also behave a little differently.
