fix(server): keep failed thread preparation safe to retry - #15782
Failed worktree preparation could lose a checkout when cleanup failed, then collide with it on Retry. Cleanup could also remove a checkout selected by a newer workspace write.
The run now records its claimed checkout independently of the thread's runnable workspace. Retry refuses while an incomplete survivor remains and reports its path and branch for manual cleanup. Completed checkouts remain reusable after setup failure, restart, and branch changes. Checkout publication and completion commit together; release checks ownership, and cancellation serializes deletion with newer workspace choices.
Rebuilt from @Adamulek123's work in #15782, preserving the original commits and merging main. The rebuild omits the unrelated setup-terminal lifecycle changes.
Replaced the original 39 added/replacement test cases with focused coverage in the existing launch suite. Current main has 78 launch cases; this branch has 83. Before the repair, the five review regressions failed; after it, all 83 pass.
Contracts: 44 passed. Archive cancellation/replay: one focused case passed. Scoped server/contracts typechecks, targeted lint, formatting, and diff checks pass; lint retains three existing warnings.
Two independent whole-diff review rounds: round one found five confirmed issues, now repaired; round two found no confirmed blockers in either independent review.
Real Linux server, SQLite, WebSocket RPC, Git worktrees, and synchronous PTY setup checks cover completed-checkout restart/retry, branch-change restart/retry, a locked incomplete survivor, refusal before reprovisioning, manual cleanup and same-run reprovisioning, newer explicit clear, and adopted-checkout cancellation. The incomplete survivor also remains discoverable and blocks Retry across a full server process restart.
This is a server behavior change; focused test and process output provide the proof. A web Retry interaction was exercised before the final repair, but the native preview rendered controls without readable text, so no usable screenshot or current-head visual verification is claimed. macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, Electron desktop, and remote/relay/tunnel connections were not verified. No provider turn was started by the final live probes. Human maintainer review is still required for the persisted orchestration and destructive Git behavior. Unmerged.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Failed thread preparation now tracks checkout ownership and completion before allowing reuse. Cleanup gains shared-checkout and adopted-project safeguards, with serialized workspace publication to protect newer selections.

Workspace state now carries binding IDs and claimed or completed worktree details. Orchestration validates bindings for metadata changes, branch renames, progress, and run release. Thread preparation records worktree state, serializes cleanup, and checks incomplete checkouts during retries. Tests cover setup completion, reuse, cleanup races, and cancellation.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 9eded
Cancelling a worktree launch can force-delete a checkout that a newer project adoption or another thread is now using, which can lose uncommitted work. The triggers are narrow races, but the removal is destructive. Add the ownership checks across threads and the project root before merging. Two minor earlier notes remain open: schema trimming parity and the shared-lock composition.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to b0d9b
The change strengthens protection against starting agent work in an incompletely prepared checkout. A narrow cleanup race can still restore a workspace binding after it was explicitly cleared. Its immediate impact is limited because completion checks continue to block unsafe reuse. Compatibility during downgrade remains unproven.
Retained concerns
Low · reliability · inferred: The new failed-removal repair can undo a newer explicit workspace clear. With an automatically generated branch, the original requested branch is null; cleanup therefore accepts a current null path/null branch as launch-owned and republishes the surviving checkout. Expected-value checks cannot distinguish that newer clear from the original unbound state. This weakens recovery ownership and can leave Retry requiring manual removal, although the null completion proof still prevents incomplete-checkout reuse. The base cleanup did not perform this survivor rebind.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated effects concern a thread's workspace binding, its project worktree and branch, setup terminal, and queued agent release. Exploiting the identified ownership race requires workspace-mutation authority plus overlapping cleanup failure. No cross-tenant or additional credential authority is established by this evidence.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
observed — The examined forged-completion path is rejected at WebSocket payload decoding. The regression exercises the registered RPC payload schema, rather than only a server-side type declaration. This does not establish complete security coverage of every orchestration command.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Client Retry routes to launch-owned scheduling, while provisioning completion is asserted internally after Git provisioning returns. Expected path/branch checks protect publication; exact completion-path checks protect new-row reuse and release. Existing client workspace-mutation authority is counterevidence against treating the completion marker as a general filesystem access boundary.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Retry requires a failed preparation, rejects archived or deleted threads and competing blocking runs, and refuses an existing checkout whose completion cannot be established. These controls contain the immediate impact of the cleanup ownership race, but legacy rows deliberately retain weaker historical classification.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Use a preparation ownership token or binding generation to distinguish an explicit clear from the original null/null binding. Separately, define downgrade handling for incomplete survivors before returning to code that ignores completion proof.

Expose ThreadCommandExecutor at the composition root.
The private provisions do not split the production lock. layerProduction composes both service graphs, and Effect 4 memoizes the shared ThreadCommandExecutor.layer reference. However, the private provisions hide a service dependency from the exported layer types. Remove them and provide one executor layer from the application and test composition roots.

Regarding the executor-composition nit in review 5665760311: the production graph shares the same ThreadCommandExecutor.layer reference, and Effect memoizes that layer within the graph. As the review notes, this does not split the production lock. Moving the existing private provisions into every application and test composition root would be a separate refactor, so I am keeping this retry-safety PR focused. No lock or static-analysis setting was weakened.

Check other threads before deleting a shared checkout.
If another thread selects this checkout during setup, cancellation still passes ownsBinding for the originating thread. Cleanup then force-removes the shared checkout and force-deletes its branch. The other thread retains a workspace path that no longer exists.
ThreadLaunchService.test.ts, Line 3031 through Line 3045, already constructs an independent thread sharing this checkout. Check ownership across threads and serialize that check with workspace selection. Extend the cancellation cases to cover this state.
Based on learnings, the lock protecting validation and deletion must also protect other workspace writers.

Preserve a checkout that became the thread's project root.
If Stop commits during setup, thread.project.adopt-folder can commit before cleanup takes this lock. In Orchestrator.ts, Line 4948 clears worktreePath and changes projectId, but preserves workspaceBindingId. Cleanup therefore considers the binding owned and force-removes the adopted project's root.
Check the current project's effective cwd before removal, including workspaceRoot when worktreePath is null. Record project adoption as a new binding. Extend cancellation coverage for Stop followed by project adoption.
Based on learnings, cleanup must not release a workspace that a newer owner selected.
