It now:\n\n- Watches the parent folder as well as the folder itself.\n\n- Skips a permission test when the folder is setgid (new files inherit the folder's group) or when the parent is a symlink (a shortcut to another location).\n\n- Limits how many times it tries to set up watching, and logs a warning once when it gives up.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt should fall back less often to treating watching as failed in synced cloud sessions.\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"}
