fix(server): include symlinks in workspace search - #24578
Symlinked files and directories are absent from the shared workspace index. In a project with src-link -> src and index-link.ts -> src/index.ts, typing @link or searching Files for link omits both aliases.
Change
Supplement the native index with eligible symlink entries discovered in indexed directories, without descending into their targets. Preserve alias paths and target kinds, apply ignore decisions, and merge aliases without duplicate results. Share discovery work, invalidate it on relevant watcher events, and page through all indexed directories. A bounded glob matcher applies .ignore rules without regex backtracking.
Reproduced in the real web dev app on Linux: composer mentions and Files search omitted file, directory and nested aliases; an ordinary-file control worked.
After merging current main, vp test run src/workspace/IgnorePatterns.test.ts src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.test.ts src/workspace/WorkspaceSearchIndex.test.ts from apps/server: 34 passed. Tests cover real symlink discovery, exclusions and ignore precedence, matcher boundaries/adversarial inputs, watcher invalidation/subscription retry, shared scans, pagination and deduplication.
Targeted lint/format and server typecheck passed on the final correction; current main introduced no changes to these workspace files. git diff --check passed.
Malformed-class benchmark: parsing and matching 30,000 unmatched brackets took about 14 ms after the fix, versus 67.3 seconds with the previous matcher. The repository forbids wall-clock assertions in tests; the large-input regression checks behavior and these timings provide performance evidence.
Evidence compares main 909e4c9482 with head a3ebf4e7bd. Responsive web captures use Linux Chromium 154, DPR 2, 1440×900 and 390×900, light/dark. The recordings show alias discovery, insertion and opening the target file. The 390px captures cover responsive web.
The proof audit is insufficient: some unchanged controls differ in focus/selection, exact rebuild equivalence is unproven, and linked-image/lookup and remaining D1–D6 matrix assertions are pending. No blanket pixel-identity claim is made. Fixture matrix.
Pending gates: independent review of the last matcher correction after the three-round cap; completion of the proof gaps above; CI and bot review. The bugfix label is withheld until CI is green and bot findings are addressed. No merge is authorized.
Unverified: Electron and native mobile execution, remote/relay/tunnel connections, command-palette/Markdown/icon-picker interactions and large-workspace latency/memory. Ordinary directory-scoped browsing is unchanged. Alias matching retains a known difference from the native fuzzy typo matcher.
Recordings include scripted query/insertion/opening steps; timings and rendering details are in the index. Diff0 is amplified 8×; threshold diffs mark RGB channel delta >16. Pixel-proof limitations remain as stated above.
Reproduces #24547: symlinked files and directories inside the workspace
are missing from indexed path search and the flat entry list.

…and the file list
fff skips symlinks during its walk, and followSymlinks still drops file
links, dedupes folder links against their targets, and walks out of the
workspace and into ignored folders. Read the folders fff already indexed
for symlink children instead, keep the ones that resolve inside the
workspace and that git does not ignore, and merge them into list and
search. The scan runs once per index scan.
Fixes#24547

… changes
Symlinks found next to fff's index now drop out under .ignore files and
ignored tracked paths, and each nested repository or submodule answers
for its own ignore rules, so one failing repository no longer leaks every
ignored link. The scan is shared between concurrent callers, stops when
they are all interrupted, reads every page of indexed folders, and is
dropped whenever fff's watcher reports a change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
… precedence
Replace the ignore package, whose backtracking regexes let a repository's
.ignore pattern stall the event loop, with a small NFA matcher. The nearest
.ignore that matches now decides ahead of .gitignore, as in fff and ripgrep.
Page fff folders by offset, dedupe links the watcher already indexed, retry
the watcher subscription until it is ready, and skip rescans for plain edits.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
… parse in linear time
A leading or inner ** could end mid-segment, so !link re-included blink and
foo/**/bar matched foo/xbar. It now ends only at its start or after a slash.
An unclosed [ makes every later [ unclosed too, so one failed scan settles
the line instead of rescanning the suffix per bracket. Folder-only rules no
longer apply to symlinks, matching git and ripgrep's lstat.

A file search with limit: 1 can return no entries even when actual-file was fetched: if the watcher indexes the directory symlink src-link as a file, the native limit keeps src-link and actual-file is excluded, then this correction turns src-link into a directory and the file-kind filter drops it.

Walkthrough
The workspace search index now discovers eligible symlinks, applies .ignore and Git ignore rules, and includes accepted links in listings and search results. Tests cover ignore-pattern matching, link filtering, scan caching, watcher events, and paginated directory scans.
Changes: Workspace symlink indexing
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Ignore pattern parsing and matching apps/server/src/workspace/IgnorePatterns.ts, apps/server/src/workspace/IgnorePatterns.test.ts
Adds ignore-pattern parsing and matching for comments, negation, anchoring, glob syntax, escapes, and folder-only patterns. Patterns are evaluated from last to first. Tests cover matching behavior and edge cases.
Symlink discovery and filtering apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceSearchIndex.ts, apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.test.ts
Scans indexed directories for symlinks and resolves their targets. Excludes links outside the workspace, inside .git, or with unsupported target types. Applies nested .ignore and repository Git ignore rules. Tests cover link inclusion and exclusion.
Listing, search, and scan cache apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceSearchIndex.ts, apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceSearchIndex.test.ts
Merges discovered links into listings and ranked search results. Caches scans and invalidates them on watcher events and refresh. Tests cover watcher events, failed watcher registration, link kinds, and paginated scans.
Symlinks now appear in workspace search and composer mentions as intended. Two minor edge cases remain: glob queries such as *.ts can miss matching aliases, and a link that Git ignores but a .ignore rule explicitly re-includes can still appear. Neither blocks ordinary use, so the change is mergeable with follow-up.

The description follows the template's main sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem and Change sections are clear. The Scope section links issue #24547 and explains the triage origin. The Verification section gives concrete test commands, results, a benchmark, and a list of unverified areas. It also includes the required model and harness attribution. Some content is verbose, and the proof audit is reported as insufficient with pending gates, but the template's required information is present. The description also says the PR is not ready for merge, which the reviewer should weigh.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #24547 requires symlinked files and folders to appear in composer @ mentions and Files search, using the same index as ordinary files. It also requires that directory links must not duplicate subtrees or reach targets outside the workspace. The whole-PR summary (merge base 5cbdf00 to head 32c8fb7) shows these changes in apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceSearchIndex.ts: (1) a separate symlink scan of indexed directories, paged in 1,000-entry batches, that records links without descending into their targets; (2) acceptance only for links that resolve to files or directories inside the workspace and outside .git; (3) alias paths that keep the scanned kind (file or directory); (4) nearest .ignore decisions and git check-ignore results that filter candidates; (5) merged, deduplicated results in both list and name search; (6) search fetch sizing that accounts for filtered links; (7) shared scans invalidated on relevant watcher events and refreshes, with a short cache when no watcher is available; (8) pagination across all indexed directories. IgnorePatterns.ts supplies the bounded glob matcher for .ignore rules. Tests in WorkspaceEntries.test.ts and WorkspaceSearchIndex.test.ts cover in-workspace file and directory links, out-of-workspace links, ignored links, submodule links, watcher-driven refresh, scan retry, offsets beyond 25,002 results, and deduplication. Uncertainty: the changes since reviewed head a351395 were not read line by line, and the matcher timing and the 34-test run in the PR description were not re-executed. The conclusion rests on the whole-PR summary at head 32c8fb7.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed files are IgnorePatterns.ts and IgnorePatterns.test.ts, WorkspaceEntries.test.ts, WorkspaceSearchIndex.test.ts, and WorkspaceSearchIndex.ts. Each file connects to the symlink-search objective of #24547. IgnorePatterns.ts supplies the .ignore matching that symlink candidates require, and its tests cover that matcher's precedence, anchoring, escapes, and bounded behavior on adversarial input. The summary shows no content-search behavior or tests changed in this PR. The PR description's proof audit, CI, bot review, and label gates are process items, not code changes. The conclusion rests on the whole-PR summary; the incremental changes since a351395 were not read line by line.

Avoid repeated full symlink scans before searches.
search() awaits listSymlinkEntries() before every fff query. The scan enumerates the root and every fff-indexed directory, then runs Git ignore checks for candidate links.
A created, removed, or renamed watcher event invalidates the cache. The next sequential search can therefore repeat the full scan. An incomplete fff index also invalidates the result, so searches made while fff is still scanning can repeat the scan. Concurrent callers share one in-flight scan, so this is not a separate scan for every overlapping keystroke. Ordinary modified events do not invalidate the cache.
Narrow invalidation to changes that can alter the symlink set, such as directory topology or ignore-file changes. Retain the last completed scan while fff is incomplete, or merge new results without discarding the completed cache. Do not run the symlink scan concurrently with the fff query unless the directory snapshot remains complete and consistent.

- Fetch past index results that are links filtered out by kind, so a
dropped link no longer takes a result slot.
- Treat truncated `git check-ignore` output as a failure, hiding the
links rather than leaking ignored ones.
- Drop the cached scan when the watcher reports a known link as modified
(fff's report for a link replaced in place), while plain file edits
still keep it.
- Reuse a scan made without a watcher or before fff finished indexing for
two seconds instead of rescanning every folder on each search.
- Fold the outside-link case into the ignore-rules test.

Move the whole-name matcher case to IgnorePatterns.test.ts.
The assertion that !link does not re-include blink tests parseIgnoreFile matching. That case belongs in the matcher's own test table. The folder-only check for folder-link/ depends on decideByIgnoreFiles passing isFolder = false. Keep that check here. Add the !link/blink row to the existing IgnorePatterns.test.ts table.

Remove rejected links from fff results as well as accepted ones.
The comment at Line 397 says that fff's watcher indexes links created after its scan. mergeSymlinkMatches replaces or drops an indexed entry only when the path is in allSymlinks. allSymlinks contains only the accepted links. A link that the scan rejected is not in that set. Rejected links include links outside the workspace, links into .git, links ignored by .ignore or Git, and broken links. If such a link is created after the initial fff scan, it can stay in the search results unchanged. list() at Line 775 has the same gap. withDirectoryAncestors only overwrites paths that are also in symlinks. The objective requires the index to keep only eligible in-workspace links. The scan already collects every link path in linkPaths. Expose linkPaths from listSymlinkEntries and drop indexed entries that are in linkPaths but were not accepted.
- const allSymlinkPaths = new Set(allSymlinks.map((entry) => entry.path));+ // Every link on disk, including rejected ones, so fff's copy never bypasses the filter.+ const allSymlinkPaths = linkPaths;
In list(), filter mapped.entries by !linkPaths.has(entry.path) before you append symlinks.

Resolve WorkspaceSearchIndex conflicts with main's Git-excluded path
filtering, Windows path handling, and glob-character query fallback:
symlink matches now merge inside searchNames so both the bracket and
brace retries see them, and main's new finder mocks gain isScanning and
watch, which the symlink scan calls.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Main now hides every path Git ignores, including .git/info/exclude and
the global excludes file, even where a .ignore negation re-includes it.
Symlink aliases go through the same filter, so a link and its target
are shown or hidden together.
fff's watcher can index a link the scan rejected (outside the workspace,
broken, or ignored). Search and list now drop any indexed path that is a
known link but was not accepted, and the index fetches past those slots.
The .ignore precedence test now asserts the behaviour shared with
files; its regex-stall case stays in the IgnorePatterns unit test.

Create src/index.ts and root file/directory symlinks, plus equivalent aliases inside an unexpanded nested folder. Open a replay thread, type @link, then open Files and search nested-. Search src-link/index in both controls to check for recursive indexing.
Base omits both alias types in composer and shows no Files matches. Head offers both types, including the nested aliases. Neither search returns descendants beneath src-link. The expanded chevron in filtered Files results represents the alias directory row; it has no indexed children, as the separate descendant query demonstrates.
Picks up main's smaller agent context budget, which this branch's copy
still recorded at the old size.

Match symlink aliases against glob queries.
For *.ts, scoreSubsequenceMatch requires a literal * in the alias path. An alias such as index-link.ts therefore receives Infinity and is excluded from pending. Ordinary indexed files still use the native glob search. Lines 941–943 also explicitly preserve glob queries.
Use glob matching to determine alias eligibility when the query is a glob. Keep subsequence scoring for fuzzy queries.

Apply Git ignore checks to explicitly included links too.
A tracked link that matches a negated .ignore rule skips listGitIgnored. For example, add tracked-link.ts to Git, then add tracked-link.ts to .gitignore and !tracked-link.ts to .ignore. The final filter retains the link because its decision is "included".
The later ignoredPaths filter does not repair this case: listGitIgnoredPaths uses ls-files --others, which lists untracked files, not tracked links. (git-scm.com)
Send every candidate not explicitly ignored by .ignore through check-ignore --no-index. Apply the resulting Git exclusion even when .ignore returns "included". Extend the tracked-link case in apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.test.ts, Lines 573–620, with this combination.

…k rescan
Any created or removed file dropped the cached symlink scan, and the next
search waited for a readdir over every indexed folder: about 0.6-1 s per
search after a file creation in a 25,000-folder workspace.
Only the first read now waits for a scan. Later changes mark the result
stale; the next read starts one background rescan (never more than one at
a time), waits at most 5 ms for it, and otherwise answers from the last
finished scan. The folder listing is read in pages of 1,000 so fff's
synchronous calls no longer hold the event loop for over 100 ms.

The scenario failed on base and passed on head. Base omitted all four composer aliases. Files showed the two root aliases through directory listing, but omitted both nested aliases. Head showed all four aliases in both surfaces, with file and directory icons. Both descendant searches returned no matches. Empty expanded chevrons are search-mode presentation: directory loading is skipped while searching; they do not demonstrate target traversal.
Watcher invalidation after file churn and ignore-rule, broken-link, or out-of-workspace-link handling were not exercised; this proof covers the reported inside-workspace aliases and absence of directory-alias descendants in search.

bugfix
Problem
Symlinked files and directories are absent from the shared workspace index. In a project with
src-link -> srcandindex-link.ts -> src/index.ts, typing@linkor searching Files forlinkomits both aliases.Change
Supplement the native index with eligible symlink entries discovered in indexed directories, without descending into their targets. Preserve alias paths and target kinds, apply ignore decisions, and merge aliases without duplicate results. Share discovery work, invalidate it on relevant watcher events, and page through all indexed directories. A bounded glob matcher applies
.ignorerules without regex backtracking.Scope and approval
Fixes #24547

Verification
vp test run src/workspace/IgnorePatterns.test.ts src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.test.ts src/workspace/WorkspaceSearchIndex.test.tsfromapps/server: 34 passed. Tests cover real symlink discovery, exclusions and ignore precedence, matcher boundaries/adversarial inputs, watcher invalidation/subscription retry, shared scans, pagination and deduplication.git diff --checkpassed.Evidence compares main 909e4c9482 with head a3ebf4e7bd. Responsive web captures use Linux Chromium 154, DPR 2, 1440×900 and 390×900, light/dark. The recordings show alias discovery, insertion and opening the target file. The 390px captures cover responsive web.
The proof audit is insufficient: some unchanged controls differ in focus/selection, exact rebuild equivalence is unproven, and linked-image/lookup and remaining D1–D6 matrix assertions are pending. No blanket pixel-identity claim is made. Fixture matrix.
Pending gates: independent review of the last matcher correction after the three-round cap; completion of the proof gaps above; CI and bot review. The
bugfixlabel is withheld until CI is green and bot findings are addressed. No merge is authorized.Unverified: Electron and native mobile execution, remote/relay/tunnel connections, command-palette/Markdown/icon-picker interactions and large-workspace latency/memory. Ordinary directory-scoped browsing is unchanged. Alias matching retains a known difference from the native fuzzy typo matcher.
Evidence: index, complete archive with captures, diffs, recordings and drivers. Individual upload failures are listed in the index; their files are retained in the archive.
Recordings include scripted query/insertion/opening steps; timings and rendering details are in the index. Diff0 is amplified 8×; threshold diffs mark RGB channel delta >16. Pixel-proof limitations remain as stated above.
