Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 5.0.7648
- Edition: Ultimate
- OS: any
Bug Description:
When a user pushes snapshots to the Enterprise server, we don't push globals. So, if another user pulls those snapshots, they will not see things like bv.file.original_filename.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Create a new database in a remote project
- Observe that
bv.file.original_filenameexists (although, you may also run into #7074) - Push that database to the Enterprise server
- In another client with a separate user folder (or on a different machine), pull that database
- Observe that
bv.file.original_filenameis not set
Expected Behavior:
Users expect that some of these globals will exist when pulling files from the server.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the listed remote-project steps, checking bv.file.original_filename before pushing and after another client pulls the database. Start by tracing the Enterprise server snapshot push and pull paths, then verify that the expected globals are present for a separate user folder or machine after the fix.
