See https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview#debugging on how to enable logging or debug runtime errors.

Describe the question

I followed the instructions at https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/dds#session.lua and set sync_yanked = true in init.lua (placed in the same directory as the various TOML config files).
After closing all instances and launching two new instances, I still cannot yank in one instance and paste in the other.
What might have gone wrong?

Anything else?

No response

Checklist

• I have read all the documentation

Hi, I've added some logs in e6d9957, can you try it to see if there's any error in the log as per https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview/#logging?

Hi, I closed all instances and launched Yazi using the version e6d9957. No errors occurred, but some warnings and debug messages were logged. Cross-instance copying still does not function.
