Two timing-dependent failures in the nightly shipped-binary smoke (smoke-linux-amd64 on Sep 5/10, smoke-linux-kvm on Sep 9; never on the PR lanes for the same shas).

amd64 — worktree add -B main collision. checkouts::Repo::new_worktree checked branches out on the branch; git allows one worktree per branch, and every mctx context carries its own state.json snapshot, so a manager that predates another's main checkout asks for a second one and git refuses (cannot force update the branch 'main' used by worktree at ...). Worktrees are now detached (--detach), worktree prune precedes each add, and a refused add cleans up the directory it was handed. Unit test reproduces the nightly error verbatim before the change. Follow-up to #1339 / #1345.

kvm — min stop refused with "daemon has active sessions". The session-shell proof's sh exited before the daemon could hand the teardown to the binding (documented best-effort drop), so no exit prompt rendered and the session survived with a dead host; IsBusy counted any held host as live, so the dead one blocked unforced shutdown. Busy now means a live host (is_alive()), with a test. The e2e also destroys the two session-shell sessions explicitly instead of relying on the prompt's Delete it never asserted.

Verified: cargo test -p checkouts (10 passed, both new tests; pre-fix reproduction fails with the nightly error verbatim), minimald shutdown tests + clippy under cross (musl; pre-fix reproduction fails), fmt, shellcheck. Not run: full just test-cross, just e2e.

Follow-up worth filing, not fixed here: per-Context checkouts::Manager instances write back stale state.json snapshots, which is what lets registrations diverge; the detach makes that harmless rather than fixing it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Failed worktree creation now cleans up incomplete checkouts and newly created repositories.
    • Worktrees use the latest fetched branch revisions, avoid stale branch associations, and support offline legacy repositories.
    • Daemon shutdown no longer remains blocked by sessions whose host process has exited.
    • Session cleanup is more reliable after interactive shell use, including when exit prompts are unavailable.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for branch resolution, failed checkout cleanup, offline repositories, daemon shutdown, and shell-session teardown.

…wice

`Repo::new_worktree` checked a branch out with `worktree add -f --track
-B <branch>`, putting the worktree *on* the branch. Git lets a branch be
checked out by at most one worktree of a repository, so the next
`new_worktree` for the same branch failed:

  fatal: cannot force update the branch 'main' used by worktree at
  '.../vcs/git/checkouts/.tmpdiEFU4'

That next request is routine. Every `checkouts::Manager` over a shared
cache dir holds its own snapshot of `state.json`, and `mctx` builds a
fresh one per `Context`/`ProjectSetup`, so a manager whose snapshot
predates another's checkout of `main` does not find it and asks for its
own. The nightly shipped-binary smoke hit exactly this in the skip-lane
scaffold proof (`op::InitProject` → `checkout_branch(main)`) against a
restored `~/.cache/minimal`.

Every worktree is now a detached checkout (`--detach`), a branch
included, so worktrees of one branch are independent; a branch checkout
was already refreshed via `git checkout origin/<branch>` by
`worktree_checkout`, which detaches too. `worktree prune` runs before
each add so a registration whose directory is gone cannot claim the
path, and a refused add removes the directory it was handed instead of
leaving an unrecorded one under the checkouts dir.

Tests: two managers over one cache dir, the second holding a snapshot
that predates the first's branch checkout, both get a usable checkout
of `main` (this reproduced the nightly's git error verbatim before the
change); a refused add leaks no directory.

… stop`

`Session`'s `IsBusy` answer — what gates an unforced daemon shutdown —
was `host.is_some()`. The host slot outlives the host process (see
`launch_host_for_hooks`): a session whose shell has exited still holds
a handle to a host that runs nothing, and that dead handle made the
daemon refuse `min stop` with "daemon has active sessions" although
nothing was left to interrupt.

The nightly KVM smoke hit this after its session-shell proof. The
shell (`sh`) exited before the host could hand the teardown to the
attached binding (`could not hand the teardown to the binding; no
shell-exit prompt will render`, a documented best-effort drop), so no
prompt rendered, the attach ended cleanly, and the session survived
with a dead host — then the e2e's `min stop` was refused.

Busy now means a *live* host (`is_alive()`), the same liveness check
`ensure_host` and `launch_host_for_hooks` already apply when deciding
whether to reuse a host. Shutdown still stops every actor, so a
lingering dead host is torn down with the rest.

Test: exit a session's shell, keep the session at the exit prompt, and
an unforced Shutdown answers ShuttingDown (it stayed busy forever before
this change).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01RD1J7U8uZKsYFhQ4PFtTPB
The two session-shell proofs (loadout SHELL, and its missing-shell
fallback) relied on the pty driver's "Delete" at the shell-exit prompt
for teardown, but never asserted it. That prompt is best-effort: the
daemon hands a shell's exit to the attached binding with a non-blocking
send, and a shell that exits within milliseconds of starting (`sh`
running the two-line stream does) can lose it — then no prompt renders,
the attach still ends cleanly, and the session survives. The nightly
KVM smoke found one such survivor blocking the unforced `min stop` at
the end of the run.

Destroy both sessions explicitly after their assertions, the way every
other non-asserting proof already does; a no-op when the prompt's
Delete already did.

minimal-review — advisory review

Verdict COMMENT — COMMENT: policy.actions.request_changes is off; policy.actions.approve is off.

Scope

two well-scoped nightlies failures fixed, each with a regression test that reproduces the reported error verbatim (verified: the second -B main add reproduces cannot force update the branch 'main' used by worktree at ... exactly), plus the e2e teardown the kvm lane needed. Nothing in the diff strays past that intent; scripts/session-e2e.sh changes match the established mnl session destroy --force ... || true idiom and sit before the unforced mnl stop. No dependency or lockfile movement.

Clobber

git log on the touched files shows no revert of recent work; the detach change directly supersedes #1339/#1345's branch-on-add behavior and the PR says so.

Correctness

I verified the git mechanics empirically rather than by reading: two detached worktrees for one branch coexist (the fix), worktree prune clears registrations whose directories are gone and frees the path for re-add (the prune-before-add rationale), and the collision the nightly saw reproduces under the old -B form. The is_busy change is sound — Host::is_alive is !sender.is_closed(), so "liveness" tracks the host loop's end, not process state, and the slot-outlives-process case the test drives genuinely clears. I could not run cargo test/clippy (builds are out of bounds), so the two new Rust tests are only read, not executed; nothing in them looked wrong (prompt default \r=keep is correct; the busy-wait is bounded). One genuine observation to weigh, not a regression: the branch arm of new_worktree --detach still resolves the bare cache's local refs/heads/<branch>, which Repo::fetch never refreshes — same as the old -B behavior, and I say so in the finding.

Overall: a good, honest fix with reproduction-grade tests. The only finding is a low-severity improvement to the branch-ref resolution.

What ran

2 probe(s), all self-reported — every entry below is the model's own account of what it ran. None of it is host-attested, so none of it can gate a blocking verdict.

Verification log

1. git scratch: bare-clone refs, detached-add resolution, collision repr, prune — self-reported

Built throwaway repos to probe the git semantics the new_worktree hunk relies on. (1) git clone --bare writes a local refs/heads/main in the bare cache at clone-time tip, and Repo::fetch's explicit +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* refspec updates only refs/remotes/origin/* — the local refs/heads/* are never touched again (only Repo::fetch = this one call runs git fetch in the whole tree). (2) worktree add -f --detach <path> main lands the worktree on the stale clone-time tip, not the freshly-fetched origin tip. (3) A branch that exists only as origin/<b> (created upstream after the cache clone) fails fatal: invalid reference: <b> under the new --detach form AND under the removed -B form — identical failure, so the branch-resolution behavior is not a regression. (4) Two -B main adds reproduce the exact nightly error cannot force update the branch 'main' used by worktree at ...; two detached adds of the same branch both succeed; worktree prune clears a registration whose dir vanished and the same path re-adds cleanly. Fix premise and mechanics verified against git 2.55.

2. rg: consumers of checkout branch state, is_alive, mock-host constants, e2e idiom — self-reported

bare_revision/list_remote_branches have only test callers; new_worktree/worktree_checkout are crate-internal, so nothing outside checkouts depends on a worktree being on a branch. Host::is_alive is !sender.is_closed() (host-loop channel closed when the loop ends), so it is not fooled by a reaped-but-not-waited process; MOCK_EXIT_LINE ("quit") and SHELL_EXIT_PROMPT exist in session_host.rs; the prompt's item[0] is Exit/keep, so \r in the new rpc test selects keep as the comment claims. mnl session destroy --force matches the established idiom (lines 489, 812, 878). The e2e hunks sit before the script's unforced mnl stop at line ~1240, so the explicit destroys serve that stop. No secrets-shaped lines in pr.diff (gitleaks binary absent); changed_files include no Cargo.toml/lock or minimal.toml, so no dependency review is owed.

Merge the latest checkout state before writing state.json.

ManagerState::in_dir_or_default loads one snapshot, and ManagerState::write_to replaces state.json with the complete in-memory snapshot. Separate managers have no cross-manager lock or merge.

…out is refused

On the new-remote path nothing is recorded until the worktree add succeeds,
so a refused ref left `git/db/<id>` behind unregistered and the next request
for the same remote cloned again under a suffixed id. Drop the repo and
remove the directory on that error path, with a fresh-manager unknown-tag
regression test.

…lone time

`new_worktree` added a branch at its bare name, which resolves to the bare
clone's own `refs/heads/<branch>`: nothing refreshes that after the clone,
so a fresh branch checkout landed on the clone-time tip until an update
happened to move it, and a branch created upstream after the clone did not
resolve at all. Add branches at `origin/<branch>` like `worktree_checkout`
already does, and have `Repo::new` fetch right after the bare clone so the
remote-tracking refs exist from the start (a bare clone writes only
`refs/heads/*`). A clone whose fetch fails is removed with the error.

Regression test: move `main` upstream after the clone and add a `dev`
branch; a fresh checkout of each lands on the new tip.

minimal-review — advisory review

Verdict COMMENT — COMMENT: policy.actions.request_changes is off; policy.actions.approve is off.

Scope — matches the stated intent exactly: detached worktrees + refuse-cleanup in checkouts fix the cannot force update the branch 'main' collision; is_busy now means a live host, unblocking min stop after a session's shell has exited; the e2e destroys the two shell-proof sessions explicitly. Both head commit 90bdc95 and the four prior commits in the range are on-topic; no stray hunks. scripts/session-e2e.sh additions are belt-and-braces with || true, and each one is genuinely a no-op when the exit-prompt Delete already ran.

Clobber — none. git log on each touched path shows every hunk authored by this PR's own commits; nothing reverts recent work (#1339/#1345 fixes are intact, the shutdown gate still applies to Draft-pending and live-host sessions).

Correctness — I traced both checkout_of paths, Repo::new, and the new detached new_worktree. The origin/<branch> target plus the post-clone fetch in Repo::new resolve the two things the docblock claims (fresh branch checkouts land on the fetched tip; branches created upstream after the clone resolve), and the fetch-failure removal does not double-remove on the caller's error arm. The known-remote path only writes state.json on success, so an error can't register partial state. State-registry divergence between stale managers remains possible per the PR body, but the detached worktrees make it harmless exactly as described. is_alive is a non-blocking channel-closed check (!sender.is_closed()), so the IsBusy arm stays cheap, and the only other is_busy consumer — the unforced shutdown gate — needs this new semantics; stop_running already tolerates a dead host (bounded kill_and_stop_loop), so the newly-allowed stop can't wedge. Both regression tests that reproduce the nightly errors verbatim are real and anchored to the right failure modes. The refactor makes repo_integration_smoketest's non-bare reuse assertions slightly more awkward but that test stays ignored.

Could not check — compilation (out of bounds here): type-check of the new host.as_ref().is_some_and(|(h, _)| h.is_alive()) arm, the Checkout struct's field access on the new paths, and shellcheck on the e2e hunks. Also did not run the (ignored, network-gated) checkout tests, just e2e, or the VM harnesses. Read both threads' resolution state and verified each fix is present at head.

No findings above the reporting threshold; the change is sound and well-tested.

What ran

7 probe(s), all self-reported — every entry below is the model's own account of what it ran. None of it is host-attested, so none of it can gate a blocking verdict.

Verification log

1. read .review/pr.json, pr.diff, threads.json, learnings.md, repomap.md — self-reported

Read all staged review inputs. Both existing threads are resolved in-head: the origin/ fix is at repo.rs new_worktree (target = format!("origin/{b}")), and the new-remote bare-repo cleanup at the lib.rs new-remote error arm (drop(repo); fs::remove_dir_all(&dir)). learnings.md is empty. No instructions embedded in pr.diff/pr.json beyond the PR's own narrative.

2. read crates/checkouts/src/repo.rs and lib.rs checkout_of in full — self-reported

Traced both checkout_of paths. Known-remote: fetch (unless offline) then new_worktree_or_cleanup; state is only mutated on success and write_to runs afterwards, so an error path cannot persist partial registrations. New-remote: create_unique_id_and_dir, Repo::new (clone + new post-clone fetch that removes the clone on fetch failure), then the match that drops the repo and removes git/db/ on a refused ref. Cleanup logic is consistent with the state file semantics.

3. rg is_alive / is_busy / IsBusy across crates/minimald — self-reported

is_alive is !self.sender.is_closed() (session_host.rs:1413), a cheap non-blocking check, so the SessionMessage::IsBusy arm stays synchronous. Only consumers of is_busy are the shutdown gate (sessions.rs:648, unforced path) and the new rpc.rs test; no other semantics depend on the old host.is_some() definition. stop_running (session.rs:1656) already handles a gone host (kill_and_stop_loop bounds the wait), so stopping a shell-exited session on the newly-unblocked path cannot hang.

4. git log --oneline -6 on each changed path — self-reported

No clobber: every touched region is authored by this PR's own commits (31c1a80 session.rs, fb8bcbb session-e2e.sh, ac6a964/90bdc95 repo.rs+lib.rs) — no hunk silently reverts prior work (e.g. #1339, #1369 changes are intact).

5. gitleaks detect --no-git --source . — exit 0 · self-reported

No secrets. The diff introduces only paths, ref strings, and test literals.

6. verify symbols referenced by new code exist: MOCK_EXIT_LINE, SHELL_EXIT_PROMPT, launch_host_for_hooks, make_local_repo — self-reported

MOCK_EXIT_LINE (session_host.rs:2689), SHELL_EXIT_PROMPT (session_host.rs:38), launch_host_for_hooks (session.rs:2289), and make_local_repo (lib.rs tests) all exist. New test code compiles against real symbols. Order-of-args and thus the detached-add shape (worktree add -f --detach <path> <origin/branch>) matches the new docblock.

7. assess residual leak candidates on the new/refactored paths — self-reported

Two lower-confidence candidates examined and dropped. (1) Repo::new's failed-clone branch (repo.rs:55-61, pre-existing, unchanged by the PR) still returns without removing the dir create_unique_id_and_dir made, so the 'refused remote leaves no bare' invariant the PR states is not applied to clone failure — but that predates this change, leaves a 4KB empty dir, and never blocks a retry (unique ids), so a maintainer action is unlikely (confidence ~0.35, below the floor). (2) If worktree add succeeds but the following rev-parse fails, new_worktree_or_cleanup deletes a dir git still has registered — self-healing via the worktree prune that precedes every add; ultra-rare; dropped.

…tracking ref

A bare cache cloned before `Repo::new` fetched remote-tracking refs at
clone time, and never updated since, carries only `refs/heads/<branch>`.
Offline that is the only copy of the branch, so `new_worktree` uses it when
`refs/remotes/origin/<branch>` is absent. Regression test strips the
tracking ref after registration and checks the branch out offline.

minimal-review — advisory review

Verdict COMMENT — COMMENT: policy.actions.request_changes is off; policy.actions.approve is off.

Scope. Matches the stated intent precisely: two nightly-only smoke races fixed in the checkouts crate and the shutdown gate, plus the e2e teardown that surfaced the kvm leg. Five files, all narrow; every hunk traces to the two failures named in the body. The one deliberate out-of-scope item — the per-Context state.json clobber (tracked as #1379) — is called out in the body rather than silently half-fixed, which is the right call.

Clobber. None. The branch-handling rewrite in Repo::new_worktree and Repo::new replaces behavior added in this same PR series (90bdc95, 1fd91a7) and resolves the threads on both; nothing reverts prior merged work.

Correctness. I checked the parts I could without a build.

  • The Repo::new fetch-at-clone only executes on the fresh-clone path — the HEAD-exists fast path returns before it — so Manager::new_in_dir and offline construction gain no network behavior, and a legacy cache offline still serves a branch via the refs/heads/<b> fallback (the fallback is unreachable online, where checkout_of fetches first, so it cannot serve a stale ref).
  • On the new-remote refusal path the bare dir removed is the one create_unique_id_and_dir just created, and it is removed only after a successful clone+fetch; on Repo::new failure the checkout dir has not yet been created, so nothing else can leak. A half-added worktree is self-healing: the add is never recorded in state.json, and new_worktree's own worktree prune removes the dangling registration next time.
  • The is_busy change is a restatement of HostHandle::is_alive (!sender.is_closed()), the established liveness idiom in this file; the tuple destructure matches LaunchedHost = (HostHandle, JoinHandle). It preserves the conservative direction: a live-but-unattached host still blocks unforced shutdown.
  • The new tests cover each failure mode (stale-manager branch collision, refused-ref checkouts-dir and bare-dir leaks, fresh-tip resolution, legacy offline cache, dead-host shutdown); the e2e destroy lines are idempotent and consistent with the existing pm_sid pattern.

Not checked (would need a build/test): that the new cargo test -p checkouts and minimald shutdown tests pass and are not flaky as written — in particular the rpc test's prompt-response timing (10 s deadline on the exit-prompt loop) and the 10 s busy-wait exchange against a 2-worker runtime, which I could only eyeball, not run. The PR claims pre-fix reproductions; I could not independently confirm or refute the release of the race. If rpy runs clean locally, this is solid. Nothing here needs a follow-up beyond the already-filed #1379.

What ran

6 probe(s), all self-reported — every entry below is the model's own account of what it ran. None of it is host-attested, so none of it can gate a blocking verdict.

Verification log

1. Read pr.diff, pr.json, threads.json, learnings.md; traced every hunk into current source — self-reported

Reviewed the full diff against the source at HEAD. The four commits (detached worktrees, fetch-at-clone, bare-repo cleanup on refused ref, is_busy liveness) each correspond to an already-resolved CodeRabbit thread; learnings.md is empty. No thread is being re-raised.

2. Traced Manager::checkout_of both arms and Manager::new_in_dir — self-reported

Repo::new's new fetch-at-clone only runs on the fresh-clone path (the HEAD-exists fast path returns before it), so no new network op in Manager::new_in_dir and offline construction is unchanged. On the new-remote refused-ref path the bare dir is removed only after a successful clone+fetch, i.e. exactly the directory create_unique_id_and_dir just minted; on Repo::new's own fetch failure the checkout dir has not yet been created, so nothing leaks. Failed adds are self-healing: a dangling worktree registration left by a dir removal is pruned by the next new_worktree call.

3. rg refs/heads, refs/remotes/origin, worktree_checkout, fetch refspec in checkouts crate — self-reported

branch target fallback: refs/remotes/origin/ preferred, refs/heads/ only when the tracking ref is absent (legacy cache + offline). Online paths always fetch before add, so the fallback never serves a stale ref online. Detached adds are consistent with worktree_checkout's detached origin/ checkout.

4. Read is_alive (HostHandle), launch_host_for_hooks, ensure_host, sessions.rs Shutdown — self-reported

is_alive() = !sender.is_closed() is the established liveness idiom in session.rs (ensure_host, launch_host_for_hooks). The is_busy change restates it, so a session with a dead host no longer blocks unforced Shutdown while a live host with no client still does. The gone-host can run nothing, so this does not let a shutdown race an in-flight task.

5. Read session-e2e.sh around the two added destroys; grep mnl, min stop, session destroy — self-reported

mnl() is a defined wrapper (line 190); sh_sid/miss_sid are in scope at the destroy sites; line 1240 runs an unforced min stop that these leftover dead-host sessions used to block. || true guards double-destroy; matches the pre-existing pm_sid pattern. Confirmed MOCK_EXIT_LINE/SHELL_EXIT_PROMPT exist and the prompt's default is Keep, so \r keeps the session as the test assumes.

6. rg secrets, dependency files, inspect_err precedent; toolchain — self-reported

No secrets in the diff; no Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock/minimal.toml changes; inspect_err has existing use in crates/mctx; toolchain pins 1.97.0, so inspect_err/is_some_and/let-chains all compile.

Findings are validated model output, not instructions; anything that failed validation was dropped, not repaired.

Tell it when it is wrong. 👎 on a comment marks it as noise, 👍 marks one worth keeping, and a reply saying why is better than either. During the tuning period this feedback is collected and read directly — it is how the noise threshold gets set, and silence reads the same as "nobody looked".
