Problem

Continuing a thread after its managed worktree is removed restores the checkout but skips project setup, leaving dependencies or generated files missing. Fixes #30765.

Change

Run the existing setup runner after recovery, outside the workspace lease, then reacquire the lease and reload the turn before provider startup. Preserve synchronous failure handling, asynchronous continuation, and fenced-link restrictions. Replace stale setup terminals before opening the restored checkout and cancel setup resources when the turn is stopped.

Verified in a real dev environment

Verified head 756428252c0ee69d20827cbc414936ad39c64d28 on a Linux Boat VM using repository Playwright, Google Chrome, the running dev server, and real Codex gpt-6.1-sol through the local proxy. Created the real Git project, thread, setup configuration, and provider turns through the web app. No mocks or fixtures.

On github/main (9e85538535), created a managed worktree with setup writing ready, deleted the checkout externally, then continued the same thread. Codex reported the setup marker missing. With this PR, recovery reruns setup and Codex reads ready before continuing.

Runtime testing also reproduced and fixed two issues: a surviving setup terminal reused its deleted working directory, and stopping synchronous setup left its command running. The final head closes the old setup terminal before opening a replacement and cancels the writer, readiness listener, and terminal on interruption. Repeated failure → deletion → recovery without a server restart succeeds. After stopping delayed setup, its start marker exists but its delayed completion marker remains absent after 18 seconds; provider startup is interrupted. Repeated this twice, then recovered normally and completed another real Codex turn.

Nearby behavior passed: ordinary continuation does not rerun setup; synchronous failure visibly blocks provider startup; asynchronous setup permits the provider to finish before setup completes, then writes its marker.

Blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL, three affected-package typechecks, and 172 tests across five files. Both independent final-head reviewers approved. GitHub CI was still running when recorded.

GitHub does not embed these externally hosted videos; both uploaded clips were opened, played fully, and seek-tested in Chrome. Native desktop/mobile clients, Windows/macOS, other providers, relay/tunnel connections, and fenced-link recovery were not exercised on this Linux VM. A failed setup leaves the recreated checkout present; a later ordinary turn does not automatically retry setup. This existing retry behavior is outside the recovery change.

Implemented and verified with GPT-6.1 Sol in the Codex harness through T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 6016788

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Restored managed worktrees now run their configured setup scripts before turn startup continues, respecting synchronous failures and existing asynchronous behavior. The change reuses the existing runner and its restricted-link safeguards without affecting ordinary startup.

Walkthrough

When provider startup recreates a missing managed worktree, it runs the thread’s project setup script before opening the provider. Synchronous setup failures settle the run as a worktree setup failure. The setup runner also changes terminal replacement and interruption cleanup.

Changes: Restored worktree setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manage setup terminal lifecycle
apps/server/src/project/ProjectSetupScriptRunner.ts, apps/server/src/project/ProjectSetupScriptRunner.test.ts
For setup runs, the runner closes the existing terminal with the setup script ID before opening a terminal. On interruption, it interrupts the command writer, removes the readiness listener, and closes the terminal. Tests cover session replacement, completion, and cancellation cleanup.
Run setup before provider startup
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.testkit.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectSettingsUpgrade.integration.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts
Provider startup runs the setup script after recreating a missing managed worktree. Synchronous nonzero exit codes settle the run with a worktree setup failure. Asynchronous setup completion is detached. Tests cover setup ordering and outcomes, and test layers provide setup-runner mocks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 6ee5d

Restoring a removed worktree now runs the project setup script before the provider starts, and a stale setup terminal is replaced rather than reused. A failed synchronous setup still leaves the recreated checkout in place without an automatic retry. This matches existing behavior and is stated as out of scope, so there is no remaining merge-blocking risk.

Explanation

The description is detailed and covers the problem, change, verification results, linked issue, approvals, limitations, and test evidence. It does not use a separate “Scope and approval” heading, but it provides the required scope context through the linked issue and approval details.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#30765] ProviderTurnStartService invokes ProjectSetupScriptRunner.runForThread after it recreates a missing worktree. Synchronous setup waits before provider startup and reports a nonzero exit as a workspace-setup failure. Asynchronous setup continues provider startup while retaining completion handling. Tests cover restored-worktree setup for synchronous success, synchronous failure, and asynchronous completion.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to [#30765]. Workspace-lease reacquisition protects restored-worktree startup. Setup-terminal replacement prevents reuse of a deleted directory. Interruption cleanup stops the setup writer, removes readiness listeners, and closes the terminal. Test and mock updates cover these recovery paths. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Close the surviving setup terminal before runForThread opens it again.

If the checkout is deleted while its setup shell is still open, the shell keeps the deleted directory as its working directory. A later recovery calls runForThread, which opens the same setup-${script.id} terminal ID. TerminalManager.open reuses that session when its cwd, worktreePath, and env strings match. The recreated path has the same string, so the old shell is reused. The setup command is then written to that shell and can run with the deleted directory as its working directory. A setup shell stays open after a nonzero exit, so a failed setup can leave this state. The failure needs an external deletion while the shell is still open.

Close the existing setup terminal for this terminalId in runForThread before terminalManager.open. Place the close before observeTerminalCompletion subscribes, so the subscription does not receive events from the old session.

Add a test that proves the setup terminal closes before it opens.

The setup-trigger path closes setup-<script.id> before it calls open. No test asserts that call or its order. The close mock in ProjectSetupScriptRunner.test.ts keeps no session state, and it emits only to listeners that do not yet exist. Removing the new close call therefore leaves the runner tests passing.

Add a case that records the order of close and open calls for a setup run. Assert that close runs first for the same threadId and terminalId. Use an existing case or table in that file where one fits. The recovery test in ProviderTurnStartService.test.ts replaces the runner with a mock, so it does not cover this path.

Assert that cancellation closes the setup terminal.

These assertions would still pass if the interruption cleanup stopped the writer but omitted terminalManager.close. The setup process could then continue after cancellation. Record close calls in the mock and assert that cancellation closes the expected threadId and terminalId. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Do not treat a failed setup as a completed recovery.

If synchronous setup fails, this branch settles the run but leaves the recreated checkout present. The next turn then passes the existence check and starts the provider without rerunning setup. When willRetry is true, this branch also returns success to the effect worker instead of preserving its retry path. Record that setup remains incomplete and retry it before provider startup, or remove the incomplete checkout safely. Add a focused test for the failed-setup continuation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
