Greptile SummaryThis PR introduces an explicit, durable workspace-release lifecycle without deleting managed worktree data.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains; the current sweep follows every returned page to completion, addressing the previously reported reconciliation stall.
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/workspace-lifecycle.ts | Adds the close-workspace MCP lifecycle tool and a bounded full-page reconciliation sweep; the previously reported single-page stall is fixed. |
| src/workspaces.ts | Enforces terminal-session rejection, performs durable release transitions, and reconciles missing managed-worktree roots. |
| src/workspace-store.ts | Adds typed lifecycle states, atomic active-to-terminal transitions, conversation-binding cleanup, and ordered active-session pagination. |
| src/db/migrations.ts | Adds the terminal lifecycle migration and repairs an interrupted legacy baseline before applying new columns and indexes. |
| src/tool-surfaces/index.ts | Registers the shared lifecycle tool consistently for both supported provider surfaces. |
| src/process-sessions.ts | Adds synchronous workspace process-ownership detection used to prevent unsafe release. |
| src/workspace-lifecycle.test.ts | Covers release persistence, terminal-state rejection, process ownership, missing-root reconciliation, and full multi-page sweep continuation. |

Follow-up bafe234 closes the remaining managed-worktree lease gap found during Work-PC runtime qualification: worktree opens now bind to the OpenAI conversation scope and canonical Git root/baseRef, repeated/concurrent opens reuse that durable lease across registry restarts, explicit release removes the binding so the next open is fresh, a missing bound root is reconciled immediately, and a context-initialization failure removes only the freshly-created clean worktree via normal |

Align docs/gotchas.md with managed worktree reuse.
openAiConversationScopeId(_meta) enables reuse by canonical Git root and baseRef, including after restart. However, docs/gotchas.md#L146-L150 says worktree mode always creates a new workspace. Update this statement to distinguish supported conversation metadata, released leases, and hosts without that metadata.

Git worktree add destination path already exists behavior documentation
💡 Result:
The git worktree add command will fail if the destination directory already exists and is non-empty [1][2]. By design, Git prevents the creation of a new worktree in an existing, non-empty directory to ensure a clean state, similar to how git clone behaves [1]. It is a common misunderstanding that options like -B (which allows resetting an existing branch name) or --force (which overrides specific safeguards regarding existing worktree metadata or locked paths) apply to the destination directory itself [3][2][4]. These flags do not override the requirement that the target directory must not exist or must be empty [2]. If you encounter an error stating that the path already exists, you must either remove the existing directory or specify a different path [2]. Note that while git worktree add creates a new branch as a convenience if one is not provided, this branch creation happens independently of the directory path validation; however, the overall command will still abort if the destination path requirement is not met [1][2].

Prevent retained worktree deletion on path collision.
managedWorktreePath uses randomBytes(4) without checking whether the path exists. After release, a rare collision makes git worktree add reject the retained non-empty path, then createManagedWorktree recursively deletes it. Retry occupied paths or remove only paths created by the current attempt. Add a close-and-reopen test that asserts the retained worktree remains intact.

What changes
released,missing) with timestamp/reason;close_workspaceMCP tool that releases the DevSpace lease but never deletes a worktree, branch, commit, or project files;statonly, no recursive filesystem scan, and event-loop yields between pages;Safety properties
close_workspaceis a lease transition, not a deletion primitive. Existing files and managed worktree paths remain untouched. Restart/transport loss does not imply release. Legacy or unexpected lifecycle states fail closed: they are neither reusable workspace leases nor explicit release authority. Missing-root reconciliation records absence only; it does not remove Git state or authorize deletion of a later-existing path.Tests added
