What changed

Retry recognized transient Git failures in the individual command used by checkpoint capture: at most two retries, 75 ms apart. Classify index/ref lock contention and files disappearing during stat/open before stderr is discarded, retaining only an optional retryability hint in the typed error. Unknown/permanent exits, timeouts, and spawn failures fail immediately.

Why

Concurrent workspace and Git activity can cause a safety snapshot to fail. Retrying the failed command preserves the prepared private index and tree, avoiding another full checkout scan when publishing the checkpoint ref hits a lock. Retries during nested-repository recovery remain inside its existing five-second deadline; the whole capture and its recovery budget are never restarted. Commands with stdout callbacks are excluded because replaying their partial output can corrupt the caller's parser state.

The original report involved intermittent exit-128 failures in a Jujutsu-colocated workspace. Their precise cause was not established, so unidentified exit-128 failures are deliberately not treated as transient.

Verification

  • Two new retry regressions fail against main and pass with this fix.
  • 131 tests pass across VcsProcess, GitVcsDriver, CheckpointStore, and CheckpointReactor in the focused four-file run.
  • Real Git stage/ref lock tests recover with one private index, preserve the user index, and remove the private index and lock afterward.
  • Recovery deadline cases cover discovery, probes, staging, and a blocked retry backoff. They return the original staging error without another capture or recovery scan.
  • TestClock tests cover success after two retries, persistent failure after three attempts with the last error, unknown exits, other operations, stdout callbacks, timeouts, and spawn failures.
  • Server and contracts typechecks and focused lint pass. CI and configured bot reviews are checked separately on the pushed head.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why

Server-only change; no UI evidence applies. The author's original commits are retained.

Prepared with Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved checkpoint capture reliability by retrying recognized transient Git lock and missing-file failures.
    • Limited checkpoint retries to three attempts and prevented retries for unknown or non-checkpoint failures.
    • Checkpoint operations now recover more reliably from nested-repository and temporary lock conditions.
    • Improved error handling by avoiding repeated output callbacks during retries.
    • Sensitive working-directory and error details are no longer included in checkpoint failure logs.
    • Reference-lock errors that do not match recognized transient conditions are no longer retried.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at c95b57d

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused bug fix that adds bounded retries for recognized transient Git checkpoint failures while preserving existing behavior for successful and permanent-failure paths. The optional error metadata and extensive race, timeout, cleanup, and boundary tests keep the change isolated and verifiable.

Review triage notes (independent Fable review + CI):

  • CI "Check" failed on effect(instanceOfSchema) (TS377042): instanceof on Schema classes is banned. Switched to hoisted Schema.is checks in b8acc1c, then narrowed further in 940b695.
  • Review flagged that retrying VcsProcessTimeoutError could triple worst-case stall (~90s) on the sequential checkpoint worker for a repo-size problem, not a race. Adopted: the retry now covers VcsProcessExitError only, with a new test pinning that spawn failures are not retried.
  • Adopted: failed capture attempts now log at debug level so the retry firing is observable in the field.
  • Deliberate, documented in the PR body: restoreCheckpoint and deleteCheckpointRefs are not retried (restore is user-initiated/re-clickable; delete is best-effort).
  • Declined: TestClock-driven retry tests (current sleeps total ~300ms with no timing assertions).

Verified after the changes: vp test run apps/server/src/checkpointing/ apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/CheckpointReactor.test.ts — 57 passed, 0 failed; targeted lint clean; pnpm tc 0 errors.

The retry tests only fail the injected driver capture, but this retry boundary also covers vcsRegistry.resolve, whose Git detection can raise VcsProcessExitError. Add a case that makes resolution fail transiently and asserts the retry succeeds (or exhausts after three attempts), so regressions in the resolution path are detected.

@juliusmarminge @maria-rcks this one is ready for a maintainer review when you get a chance.

Small, focused server fix: checkpoint capture now retries transient git exit failures (2 retries, 75ms apart) instead of surfacing them as VCS process failed ... exited with 128 errors. Motivated by a real burst on a jj-colocated workspace with many concurrent agents. Retry is bounded to VcsProcessExitError only — timeouts, spawn, and unsupported-driver failures fail fast — with the predicate boundary pinned on all four sides by tests. All checks green, CodeRabbit and Macroscope clean (one stale CodeRabbit finding dismissed with reasoning in-thread), and an independent Fable review found no blockers.

Summary of review triage is in the comments above; happy to adjust anything on the retry policy or the seam choice.

Re-audited 7bc4764 against current main. No code blockers found in the full PR diff and affected capture/process paths.

The whole-capture retry is replaced with a retry of the individual failed Git capture command. Real Git tests verify stage/ref lock recovery using one private index, preserved user staging state, and index/lock cleanup. A retry backoff inside nested-repository recovery expires under the existing five-second deadline and returns the original staging error.

The older outside-diff suggestion about retrying registry resolution is superseded by this boundary: CheckpointStore and registry resolution have their main behavior, and only commands identified as Git checkpoint capture receive retries. Tests also cover other operations and stdout callbacks receiving one attempt, and timeout/spawn failures receiving one attempt.

Focused tests, server/contracts typechecks, lint, CI, and Macroscope checks pass on this head. CodeRabbit is still pending. This PR is intentionally unmerged.

Share the checkpoint operation identifier, but keep the retry-delay expectation independent.

GitVcsDriver.ts and VcsProcess.test.ts duplicate the checkpoint operation string. A rename can disable the retry gate without a type error. Export the operation identifier from VcsProcess.ts and use VcsProcess.CHECKPOINT_CAPTURE_OPERATION in both callers.

GitVcsDriver.test.ts uses 75 to detect and block the retry sleep. Keep this value independent. Sharing the production delay would allow a production delay change to update the test's synchronization point instead of detecting the change.

Fixed both verified CodeRabbit nitpicks in 908809e440: capture does not use compare-and-swap update-ref, so the unreachable CAS error pattern is removed. The driver and retry gate now share the capture operation constant. The 75 ms expectation stays independent in the real-Git tests.

Fresh whole-PR audit found no code blockers. All 131 focused tests, server typecheck, and focused lint pass; contracts typecheck remains passing with no subsequent contract changes. Checking CI and configured reviews on this head. Leaving the PR unmerged as requested.

Final re-audit complete on c95b57dbff. No code blockers found. All current-head CI and configured checks pass (unrelated checks are intentionally skipped), Macroscope approved this head, and CodeRabbit completed its incremental review through this head with no actionable findings. No unresolved review threads remain.

131 focused tests pass across the checkpoint/process suites; the 29 process tests were rerun successfully after the final logging-only fix. Server/contracts typechecks and focused lint pass. The retry stays per Git command, preserves prepared snapshot state, and cannot restart the nested-recovery deadline.

Ready for maintainer review. Intentionally left unmerged; auto-merge is disabled.

22 checks passed
aorwall added a commit to aorwall/t3code that referenced this pull request Sep 19, 2026
Merges `pingdotgg/t3code` at `5378f87f9` into the fork, 51 commits from
base `994654198`.

`4232` files landed against `4233` in the upstream range; the gap of one
is `apps/server/src/cli/pair.ts`, which this fork deletes on purpose.
Fork delta afterwards: `777` files.

## Usable as-is

Nothing here needs Moatless backend or deployment work.

- **Client spans reach the trace proxy again** (pingdotgg#12332). Upstream
rebuilt the fork's own `ClientTracingLive` as
`apps/web/src/observability/clientTracer.ts` — same behaviour,
upstream's name — so the fork delta retired into it. `clientTracing.ts`
and `lib/runtime.ts` are byte-identical to upstream again.
- **Sidebar search matches message content** (pingdotgg#11761), with a new
`ThreadSearchMatch` component and the logic moved out of the command
palette.
- **A file-to-symlink type change no longer crashes the diff view**
(pingdotgg#11075).
- **Obsolete code removed** (pingdotgg#9917). This deleted `SidebarGroupLabel`
from `components/ui/sidebar.tsx`; the fork's `SettingsSidebarNav` was
its only caller, so the label is now inlined there rather than
re-exported from an upstream-owned file.
- **Build fixes**: executable imports parsed without matching source
strings (pingdotgg#12488), and multiple license notices retained for one package
(pingdotgg#12489) — the second sits on the `vp build` path this fork's image
workflow runs.
- **Dependencies**: Effect rc.115 and Alchemy beta.78 with their
reference sync (pingdotgg#12326, pingdotgg#12327), plus two security bumps of vulnerable
transitives (pingdotgg#12417, pingdotgg#12411).
- **`test-t3-app` rewritten around the desktop Browser panel** (pingdotgg#12414).
Taken whole with the fork's scope note re-applied.

Not applicable rather than usable, listed so the next merge does not
re-derive them: the relay deploy and client-config work (pingdotgg#12401, pingdotgg#12484,
pingdotgg#12518, pingdotgg#12519) and the CI label/report automation (pingdotgg#12517, pingdotgg#12492)
belong to infrastructure this fork does not run — every inherited
workflow here is `disabled_manually`.

## Unsupported in Moatless / needs implementation

- **Sort pull requests by what is blocked on me** (pingdotgg#12508,
`apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestList.logic.ts`). Needs
`pullRequests.list`, `detail` and `activity`, which the backend does not
dispatch. `FEATURES.pullRequestSurface` is `false`, so the route this
lands in is not reachable here; Moatless serves `pullRequests.summary`
and nothing else in the family. The server half of the same surface is
pingdotgg#11825, below.
- **View and control agent devices from mobile** (pingdotgg#12531,
`apps/mobile/src/features/devices/`). A device panel driven by a device
stream brokered by the bundled server between a client and a registered
device. Moatless has no device registry and device pairing is decided
out in this fork, so the whole path — registration, stream transport,
control commands — is backend work.
- **The mobile client generally.** Twenty-two further mobile changes
landed in this range — pull-to-refresh, native settings and snooze
controls, model favourites, project search, platform header and menu
splits, Live Activity and Material You import isolation, notification
and permission delegate synchronization, copy-thread-id. They are in the
tree and typecheck, but whether this fork's mobile client can reach a
Moatless backend at all is still unverified; see `docs/fork/gaps.md`,
_Mobile testing against Moatless is undocumented because it is
unverified_, which this merge extended.
- **ACP SDK elicitation requests** (pingdotgg#11294,
`packages/effect-acp/src/{client,protocol,rpc}.ts`). Elicitation is an
agent-to-client request: the agent asks the user for input mid-turn and
blocks on the answer. Moatless drives its own agents rather than hosting
upstream's ACP adapters, so the round-trip has to exist on the backend
before any client surface can render it.

## Backend behavior to consider reproducing in Moatless

Nine server-side fixes, all recorded in `docs/fork/gaps.md` under
_Runtime fixes upstream made to its own server_ with the file each lives
in:

- **An oversized pull request diff should not be cached** (pingdotgg#12523) — 512
KiB cap on cached patch text, with invalidation of an entry already
held. A capacity-bounded cache with no size bound is how one enormous PR
pins memory.
- **Checkpoint git commands should be retried on a transient failure**
(pingdotgg#11665) — `…lock: file exists` and `no such file or directory`
classified as retryable and retried twice at 75 ms. The race is an agent
writing files while a checkpoint is captured, which a sandbox makes more
likely.
- **A failed settings write should roll its secret changes back**
(pingdotgg#12487) — otherwise a persistence failure leaves a provider key removed
with nothing to restore it from, and nothing says so until the provider
is next used.
- **A fetch failure should be explained without echoing the remote**
(pingdotgg#12485) — four recognised stderr shapes mapped to fixed sentences,
anything else left generic, because fetch stderr can carry credentials
from the remote URL into a persisted error.
- **A branch switch should not be readable as a path checkout** (pingdotgg#10574)
— one `--` appended to `git checkout <ref>`, with losing uncommitted
work behind it.
- **Rate limits from a tolerated read should still be recorded**
(pingdotgg#12486). Bitbucket is not a fork target; the shape is — the budget was
spent whether or not the caller wanted the answer.
- **An evicted preview host should be able to register again** (pingdotgg#12535)
— completes the RPC stream instead of shutting the queue down, so a
desktop that was merely slow can re-register. Follows pingdotgg#11381 from the
2026-09-16 merge. The client half landed here in
`packages/client-runtime`.
- **A server should export log records, not only traces and metrics**
(pingdotgg#12493) — `otlpLogsUrl` plus a shared `otlpResource`, which is what
makes the three signals joinable at the collector. The fork already
exports client spans.
- **Pull request reads should be batched rather than fanned out**
(pingdotgg#11825) — far fewer GitHub requests per preview, with a measurement
script. Moatless does its own GitHub reads behind
`pullRequests.summary`.

## Merge notes

Five conflicts, each resolved with the verdict `preflight.mjs` printed.
The one that needed thought was `apps/web/src/lib/runtime.ts`: pingdotgg#12332
reimplemented the fork's tracer layer upstream and, in the same change,
removed the `activeDelegate` binding the fork's layer read — so the fork
block auto-merged into `clientTracing.ts` referencing a symbol that no
longer existed. Resolved by converging onto upstream rather than
repairing the fork copy.

Two inventory gaps this merge closed: `apps/server/src/bin.ts` had no
path-policy entry despite holding the only references to the deleted
`cli/pair.ts` (now `server-cli-entrypoint`, `converged`), and the fork's
own `typecheck.yml` was missing from `offRepo.allowedActiveWorkflows`,
which made `tripwires.mjs` report it as an inherited workflow switched
back on.

`unsupported-methods.mjs` reported ADD 0 / DROP 0 — no change to
`packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts`.

`verify.mjs`: all 10 checks green on the final full pass, tests included
— 334 files, 5144 tests. Tripwires: Clerk 4, pairing 96, session
bootstrap 8, 5 known deletions, 4 active workflows.

Tracker entry: `docs/fork/upstream-merge-log.md`, 2026-09-19.
