What does this refer to and how to I appropriately deal with it? All I want is for command + S to save like it did in the old days,

This is possibly the most meaningless or misleading alert that RW can throw at you (depending on your point of view).

In my experience, it happens when you save the project and then you attempt to save it again—accidentally or on purpose—before the first command has a chance to complete.

OK, thank you. That explains it. On generating it again, what I do is command + S to save right before I use shift command K to publish. That is probably the culprit. I’ll go on randomly choosing save, or don’t save, it seems to make no difference. Thanks again for the explanation.

Yeah, you can just click _“Save”_ in that warning message and forget it…
