versionfog

/ˈvɜːʃənˌfɒɡ/nounVerified New

The uncertainty about which copy of a file is current when several devices or collaborators hold near-identical versions.

"final," "final2," "final_use_this" — all modified on different days, none authoritative. Versionfog is sync anxiety's ground state: the moment before opening a file when you genuinely do not know what you are about to get.

Etym. — *version* + *fog*; visibility drops exactly where the stakes are.
