fix(server): restore checkouts from leftover worktree folders - #24398
A thread resumes in an existing managed worktree folder even when cleanup left only node_modules or .next and removed its Git checkout. The next turn runs without the thread's files, and storage cleanup repeatedly fails when it stats the missing .git.
Change
Recover managed folders without .git when their only entries are node_modules and/or .next: remove the leftovers, prune stale Git metadata, and recreate the thread branch before starting the provider. Keep folders containing other files and existing checkouts intact. Storage cleanup treats a missing .git as “Not a linked worktree.”
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. GitCafe: #24390.
Verification
Two focused test files: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.test.ts src/storageCleanup.test.ts from apps/server: 158 passed, including after integrating current main. Red log, green log.
Server typecheck passed. Targeted lint passed with three existing unused-variable warnings. Two independent reviewers found no blocking defects.
Real web dev app on Linux with Codex: created a worktree thread, installed a pnpm dependency, removed everything except node_modules, then sent another message. Before, the provider saw only node_modules. After, it saw .git and tracked files on the original branch. Also verified node_modules plus .next without pruning, an existing checkout, and preservation of unrelated notes.md.
Proof matrix, public reproduction driver, and evidence scope and limitations. Service controls use synthetic provider dependencies; the composer/provider transcripts are the integrated app proof. No rendering changes, so the visual matrix is empty. All clients/providers share this server recovery path. Empty folders and .next alone also recover.
Unverified: actual Windows NTFS junction and locked-directory removal. Linux verification simulates the resulting leftover folders. Dev-server watch restarts interrupted two control turns; both resumed and completed.
Models: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1-Sol through T3 Code (Claude Agent and Codex harnesses).
A managed worktree folder that holds only node_modules (no .git) is not
recreated at turn start, and storage cleanup fails on it with NotFound
instead of keeping it as not a linked worktree.

A git worktree remove that skips a junctioned node_modules (or .next) leaves
the managed folder without a checkout. Turn start now clears that leftover and
recreates the thread's worktree, and storage cleanup keeps such a folder as
not a linked worktree instead of failing on the missing .git.

Provider turn startup now removes eligible managed worktree leftovers before recreating the checkout. It leaves other existing directory contents untouched. Storage cleanup now handles a missing .git path as “not a linked worktree.”

Summary
Detect and recreate leftover worktrees apps/server/src/workspace/restoreMissingWorktree.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderTurnStartService.test.ts
Startup identifies existing managed paths without .git that contain only node_modules and/or .next. It removes eligible paths before recreating the worktree. Tests cover eligible leftovers and directories with user files, which remain untouched.
When a managed worktree folder has leftovers such as node_modules or .next, recovery now deletes it automatically. On Windows, a locked junction in that folder could cause the removal to delete files outside the worktree. Resolve this by detecting links before recursive removal, or by removing them without recursing, before merging.

Explanation
The title names the fix and its scope: restoring checkouts from leftover managed worktree folders. The raw summary and objectives confirm the changeset removes leftover node_modules/.next folders and recreates the worktree, and the storage cleanup change is a secondary part. The title follows the conventional commit form and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template: it has Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections, and the Verification section gives concrete test commands, counts, and real-runtime results. The Scope section links an issue. Two gaps remain. The Scope section links two different issue numbers (#24390 on GitCafe and #31136 at the end), and the objectives say the PR fixes #24390 while also citing #31136 for storage cleanup, so the linkage needs clarifying. The Verification section also contains many external evidence links that the template asks to be embedded or linked. The template's HTML comment prompts are removed, which is acceptable. The description is mostly complete, so the check passes, but the issue reference should be cleaned up.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#24390] The recovery logic now lives in apps/server/src/workspace/restoreMissingWorktree.ts. isLeftoverWorktree returns true only when the folder has no .git and every top-level entry is a directory named node_modules or .next. Any other entry, file, or read error returns false. recreateMissingWorktree then runs pruneWorktrees and recreates the thread branch. The recovery runs before provider start, and the removal is recursive only for leftover folders. Existing checkouts still return early. Unrelated user files stay in place because such folders are not classified as leftover. The summary reports ProviderTurnStartService tests for node_modules-only, node_modules plus .next, and preserved notes.md cases. I did not rerun those tests. [#31136] In apps/server/src/storageCleanup.ts, worktreePathReason checks fs.exists(.git) before fs.stat. A missing .git returns "not a linked worktree" and the path is kept. Other stat failures still reach the outer catch, so permission and other filesystem errors remain visible. The summary reports a storageCleanup test for a directory with node_modules and no .git. Both linked requirements are met by the code at the reviewed head. The Windows NTFS junction and locked-directory behavior is unverified, as the PR states.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes since the previous review and the whole-PR summary touch only restoreMissingWorktree.ts (leftover detection and recovery), storageCleanup.ts (one guard before stat), and the two focused test files. Each change maps to #24390 or #31136. The PR description and the comment about another push to the branch concern process and history, not code. They add no code scope. No unrelated product or rendering change appears in the summary.

Require leftover entries to be directories.
If a managed folder has no .git and contains a regular file named node_modules or .next, this name-only check marks it as a leftover. Line 521 then deletes the file and its contents. Check each entry’s type before allowing removal, while retaining support for directory junctions. As per the PR objective, folders with other files must remain intact.

…up (adopt pingdotgg#24398)
Adopts upstream pingdotgg#24398 (head 7e369b6, open). In Alpha, storage cleanup
logged "storage cleanup failed for worktree" about every ten minutes for one
delegated thread whose managed worktree folder was left empty, because it
stat()ed the missing `.git`. Cleanup now keeps such a folder as "Not a linked
worktree", and a thread resuming in a managed folder holding only
`node_modules`, `.next` or nothing clears it and recreates its checkout.
Fork-specific: the leftover removal runs ahead of the fork's
recreateMissingWorktree, so its failure still settles the start as
"Couldn't recreate thread workspace". The new tests pass the real path
service (Windows), and the startup-ordering fixture is now a linked checkout
so that an empty folder does not count as leftover.

The leftover-folder cleanup now runs ahead of upstream's worktree
recreation (pingdotgg#18359), which replaced the fork's WorktreeRecreate helper.

Main moved worktree recovery into workspace/restoreMissingWorktree.ts, so
the leftover-folder detection moves there too and now also covers
terminal launch recovery.

Recursive removal can delete files in a junction target.
The leftover check accepts a node_modules or .next entry when fileSystem.stat reports a directory (line 60). stat follows links, so a junction passes. Line 153 then calls fileSystem.remove(worktreePath, { recursive: true }).
With Node.js 22.16.0, which the declared engine range allows, the recursive removal can enter a locked junction and delete files in its target:
The rmdir on the worktree root returns ENOTEMPTY. The removal then calls _rmchildren.
For the junction child, lstat reports a symbolic link. The removal calls unlink. If unlink returns EPERM on Windows, the removal calls fixWinEPERM.
fixWinEPERM calls stat, which follows the junction and reports a directory. It then calls _rmdir.
If rmdir returns EPERM, the removal treats EPERM as "not empty" and calls _rmchildren on the junction. That call reads the target and removes its children.
This removal can delete files outside the leftover worktree. The fix in nodejs/node#63709 targets main. Confirm which supported Node.js lines include it before relying on the behavior being absent.
Do not classify entries with stat. Check each leftover entry for a link before any recursive removal. Fail the recovery when a link is present. Alternatively, remove each link entry without recursing into its target.

Create a managed pnpm worktree thread, retain only node_modules and .next after removing its checkout and .git, prune, then resume through the composer and inspect Files. Recreate the leftover state, archive the thread, enable Delete unchanged worktrees, and run Settings cleanup.
Environment for every capture: Chromium on Linux, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic state, Replay (dev). Synthetic filesystem locations are redacted.
Proven: scenarios:prove exited 0; the scenario fails on base and passes on head.
Thanks for this. Main has the change since #34894.
Compared the full diff with main: the shared recovery helper now recreates managed folders missing .git when they contain only node_modules/.next directories, preserves other files and existing checkouts, and handles missing .git during cleanup. Main covers all behavior in this PR.
Created a synthetic pnpm project and managed worktree through the app CLI; the app's setup installed its local dependency. Removed the checkout including .git, retained node_modules and .next, pruned Git's worktree records, then sent the same resume prompt. Inspected the real thread terminal after turn completion. Separately created and settled another worktree thread with the same leftovers, configured zero-day settled cleanup, and clicked Settings → Maintenance → Delete now.
Linux web, Chrome 151, 1280×800, light theme, fresh isolated databases, dev replay provider on both commits. Local paths and machine labels are redacted; outcome/error wording is unchanged.
The dependency marker survived cleanup on both sides. The base reports a missing-.git failure; the fix reports “Not a linked worktree” and zero failures. The replay reply marks turn completion; real Git output and inspection before opening the terminal establish recovery.
Recovery safety exclusions for folders containing user files or a .next regular file were not exercised; this proof covers node_modules and .next directory leftovers.
