As the hed suggests, the order is about disclosing the identities to the defense.
The story and screenshot further clarify that the identities are limited to those that prosecutors plan to refer to at Maxwell's trial in November.

This could be a rather short list:
Prosecutors say they currently plan to refer to co-conspirator statements by two people—but that could change.
That hedge is one of the grounds Judge Nathan ruled against prosecutors.
There's another very interesting part of the order.

Judge Nathan found what the government did NOT argue as significant as what it did.
"Moreover, the Government has not alleged that disclosure here would create 'potential danger to co-conspirators' or risk 'compromising continuing investigations.'"

Instead, feds feared disclosure would result in "restricting its proof," a claim about which Judge Nathan was skeptical.
