Problem

Picking a branch in the composer or thread details makes the label go old → new → old → new. In a real client this happened on 8 of 8 switches, with the old branch back on screen for about 370 ms each time.

Change

useOptimistic in BranchToolbarBranchSelector drops the new branch when the vcs.switchRef reply arrives. The label then falls back to status, which still reports the old branch because the server only starts refreshing it after replying. branchStatusQuery.refresh() also restarts the subscription at that moment, and the server's cached snapshot still has the old branch.

Now:

  • refreshAfterCheckout publishes the new branch before vcs.switchRef and vcs.createRef (with switchRef) reply, then finishes remote status in the background as before.
  • Status and RPC replies aren't ordered on the wire, so the picker also holds the new branch until status changes.
  • The client no longer resubscribes after a switch, since the server already pushes the update.

This is one component for the composer and thread details. Mobile uses the same RPC and stream, so it gets the server ordering but has no client hold. No contract changes.

Trade-off: the trigger stays disabled about 400 ms longer, until the local status read finishes.

Scope and approval

This qualifies for the small, focused bug-fix exception in CONTRIBUTING.md: 109 non-test lines that stop a label showing the wrong branch, with no feature, default or contract change.

Verification

Real web client (Chrome, 1280×800, fresh state, scratch clone of this repo with origin on GitHub). 8 switches per build between main and two branches with open PRs, waiting for each to settle, logged by a page observer. Captured before a rebase over one unrelated upstream commit and before the hold gained environmentId from review, which only affects switching environments.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 5823ea5

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The change prevents branch-label reversals by publishing local status before checkout replies and retaining the successful label while status catches up. It preserves existing checkout and remote-refresh policies, with a modest additional wait for local status.

Walkthrough

Ref changes use a checkout-specific refresh that publishes local status before remote reconciliation completes. The branch selector holds the selected branch while status still reports the replaced branch.

Changes: Checkout branch refresh

Layer / File(s)Summary
Checkout refresh behavior
apps/server/src/vcs/VcsStatusBroadcaster.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/VcsStatusBroadcaster.test.ts
The broadcaster adds refreshAfterCheckout and extracts shared remote and local totals refresh logic. The test checks that local status publishes before the remote read completes.
Ref action refresh routing
apps/server/src/ws.ts
Ref creation uses the checkout refresh when it switches refs. Ref switching now uses the checkout refresh.
Optimistic branch hold
apps/web/src/components/BranchToolbar.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/BranchToolbar.logic.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/BranchToolbarBranchSelector.tsx
The selector tracks the selected branch, replaced branch, environment, and checkout path. It applies the hold only while the current environment, path, and canonical branch match, and refreshes the branch list after branch actions.

Merge Risk: External image Low · previous review bd6fa

After a failed thread metadata update, the branch label can show a branch the thread is not using. The effect is narrow and shows a failure toast, so the risk is low, but it is worth fixing before merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the branch label no longer flips back to the previous branch after a switch. The changeset adds refreshAfterCheckout to publish the new branch before the switchRef and createRef replies, and adds a client-side branch hold in the selector. The title follows the conventional commit format and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. The title is 69 characters, which is within a reasonable length.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. The Problem section gives the symptom, the reproduction rate, and the observed timing. The Change section explains the server ordering fix and the client hold, and it states the trade-off. The Scope section cites the small-fix exception in CONTRIBUTING.md and gives the non-test line count. The Verification section gives before and after measurements, test counts, the typecheck workaround, and the items not checked. Screenshots and recordings are embedded or linked. The template asks for the model and harness used, and the description includes that line. The description is complete and specific.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at c63e30b009b936cd9c1a74de9e2ec468e8739c57 on this linux boat vm. playwright drove /usr/bin/google-chrome at 1280x800 against real dev servers, one build at a time. the project, branches and threads were created through the app, with real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns.

  • reproduced the reversal on github/main (8760d063e9): main → verify/branch-a → main → verify/branch-a, for both branch creation and switching.
  • the pr kept the selected branch visible through checkout. six additional switches had no reversals, and every result matched git branch --show-current.
  • the draft composer created verify/branch-b; both pickers agreed, and a new codex thread reported that branch and a clean checkout.
  • a codex turn ran git switch main; the details label followed the provider checkout. reload preserved the actual branch.
  • vp run check:changed b50d8a1b15eed3a75e1e0969765e14c6436d80d7 passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, knip, graphql, affected typechecks, 53 tests and compiler coverage. the pr also has 29 successful ci checks.

one nearby limitation reproduces on both main and this pr: after a provider checkout, selecting the previously current branch can use stale worktree metadata and leave git on the current branch. this predates the change and was left untouched.

command transcript

before, main briefly shows the old branch after the selection:

merged current main (2b1021ce411d) into the contributor branch without rebasing. resolved the broadcaster conflicts by keeping checkout publication ahead of the reply and main's post-fetch cache invalidation and remote-poll totals refresh. the pr remains six files, 179 additions and 21 deletions.

playwright with /usr/bin/google-chrome drove three branch switches through the real client and server. both labels converged to the selected branch without reversal, and each checkout matched git branch --show-current. this pass did not repeat the earlier real-provider checks or test native clients and remote connections.

Propagate local status refresh failures from refreshAfterCheckout.

refreshAfterCheckout completes its localDone deferred on failure as well as success. When refreshLocalStatusCore fails, the switch RPC returns success and the new branch is not published. The remote refresh is also skipped. The failure is only logged by ignoreCause, and the cached status keeps the previous branch. Complete the deferred with the local exit instead, and let a local failure reach the caller.

Not changing this. By this point the checkout has already succeeded, so failing the call would show "Failed to switch ref" and roll the label back to the old branch while git is on the new one. main also returns success here, because refreshGitStatus logs the failure from a detached fiber. Its refreshStatus also skips the remote refresh when the local read fails, so the skipped refresh isn't new either.

@Yuruzuu You're right. My suggestion conflated a status refresh failure with a checkout failure. After checkout succeeds, propagating the refresh failure would incorrectly report that the switch failed and restore the old branch label.

I withdraw this finding. No change is needed for this comment.

3119-3120: External image Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Heavy lift

Move checkout and its status refresh into one ref-action service method.

The vcsCreateRef and vcsSwitchRef handlers in apps/server/src/ws.ts run the Git ref change through gitWorkflow. They then call the status refresh from the transport layer. vcsCreateRef also chooses between vcsStatusBroadcaster.refreshAfterCheckout and refreshGitStatus based on input.switchRef.

Per docs/internals/effect-services.md, a transport handler should decode input, call one service method, and map errors. Multi-step dispatch belongs in the service. A method that performs the checkout and then refreshes the status can own the ordering. Each handler could then call that one method.

The base handlers already chained a refresh after gitWorkflow in the transport, so this structure predates the PR. The change adds the direct vcsStatusBroadcaster dependency and the switchRef branch, which this refactor would move out of the handlers.

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

Do not identify a checkout by its previous branch name alone.

Suppose a hold records A → B. If another checkout restores A before the component observes B, canonicalBranch still equals hold.replaces. The hold continues to display B while Git is on A. Delayed or batched status updates can produce this sequence. Use a checkout revision or another acknowledgement that distinguishes the original A status from a later return to A.

Keep the hold through a worktree-to-project checkout.

When a server thread moves from worktree W to a default ref at project root P, checkoutCwd is P. branchCwd stays W until the thread's worktreePath updates. The hold then fails isBranchHoldCurrent on the next render and is cleared. If the optimistic update ends before the metadata update lands, the label can show W's old branch again. Track both source and destination cwd through this transition, or keep the hold until the thread context moves to P.

✅ Addressed in commit bd6fa59

Fixed in bd6fa595ef: the hold now lists both checkouts when a switch moves the thread from its worktree to the project root (the worktree with its current branch, the root with the branch its status reported before the switch), so it survives until the metadata update and the root's status both land.

@Yuruzuu Thanks for fixing this. The hold now tracks both checkout paths during the transition.

Clear the source-checkout hold when the metadata update fails.

If checkout at the project root succeeds but updateThreadMetadata fails, setThreadBranch still returns true because it does not await that command. The thread stays on the source worktree. This new entry keeps matching its unchanged branch, so the selector continues to show the project-root branch even though the thread still uses the old worktree.

Handle the metadata result and clear this hold on failure. The hold must not treat a queued metadata update as a completed thread move.

Fixed in 0d1127c186: setThreadBranch now takes a callback for a failed metadata update, and the worktree-to-root switch uses it to clear its hold, so the label goes back to the branch the thread is really on. A switch within the same checkout keeps its hold, because the checkout there already succeeded.

@Yuruzuu Thanks for fixing this. The failure callback clears the matching hold for a checkout move and preserves the hold for a same-checkout switch.
