fix(server): selected-file commits keep a conflicted multi-commit cherry-pick and reftable cherry-picks - #28912
During a conflicted multi-commit git cherry-pick --no-commit, committing only some files from the commit dialog goes through. The conflicted file loses its unmerged state with the markers still in it, and git cherry-pick --continue then walks past the conflict. In a repository that uses reftable refs, the same dialog during a stopped cherry-pick or revert commits under my name and ends the operation.
Change
The check that refuses selected-file commits before git reset now also looks for .git/sequencer, which a conflicted multi-commit --no-commit cherry-pick writes instead of CHERRY_PICK_HEAD. When CHERRY_PICK_HEAD or REVERT_HEAD has no file, it looks the name up as a ref, which finds them in a reftable repository; a same-named branch does not count. Committing all files works as before.
Scope
A bug fix for lost Git state: a conflict that disappears from the index, and in reftable repositories the wrong author and an ended cherry-pick or revert. Refs #35096. #35120 fixed the plain cherry-pick and revert case in the default ref format; this PR covers only the two cases above, which that check does not see.
Verification
To see the first case on Linux web:
In a repository, run git cherry-pick --no-commit <a> <b> where <a> conflicts on README.md (status UU README.md).
Add it as a project, then Git action options > Commit > Edit, clear README.md, type a message and click Commit.
On main it commits; git status --short shows M README.md with the markers in it, and git cherry-pick --continue goes on.
I ran both cases on main a6b8f71443 and on this head 8ffefa069a, in the T3 Browser panel against a server named "Test machine" (commands below). On this head both were refused ("Cannot commit selected files during a ..."), with HEAD, the unmerged entries and the operation state unchanged.
Main a6b8f71443, conflicted no-commit cherry-pick: the selected-file commit goes through (Committed 9087c75).
This head 8ffefa069a, same repository, after the refusal: no commit, Changes still +5.
Main a6b8f71443, reftable repository, stopped cherry-pick: the selected-file commit goes through (Committed 1f179b6).
This head 8ffefa069a, reftable repository, after the refusal: no commit, Changes still +2.
Not checked:
Desktop, iOS and Android, and macOS or Windows hosts, on this head. No client code changes.
A revert in a reftable repository in the app; the test covers it.
Git state, tests and method
Git state after each run (Git 2.53.0 on the server host):
main a6b8f71443, no-commit cherry-pick: 9087c75 Test User | Add first file; status " M README.md"; 0 unmerged entries; .git/sequencer present
main a6b8f71443, reftable cherry-pick: 1f179b6 Test User | Add picked file; status " M README.md"; CHERRY_PICK_HEAD no longer resolves
head 8ffefa069a, no-commit cherry-pick: HEAD unchanged (4f1d56b); status "UU README.md", "A first.txt"; 3 unmerged entries; .git/sequencer present
head 8ffefa069a, reftable cherry-pick: HEAD unchanged (3ad5588); status "M README.md", "A picked.txt"; CHERRY_PICK_HEAD 4519273 still resolves
With plain Git on copies of the same states: in the reftable repository git commit -m "Add picked file" -- picked.txt refuses ("fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a cherry-pick."); in the no-commit sequence the partial commit is allowed but README.md stays UU, and git cherry-pick --continue refuses ("error: Cherry-picking is not possible because you have unmerged files.").
Tests, in GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts, on Node 26.12.1:
The existing cherry-pick and revert table gains two reftable rows (git refs migrate --ref-format=reftable after init), a branch named like the operation ref in every row, and a ref check in place of the file check.
"rejects selected-file commits during a multi-commit no-commit cherry-pick" checks HEAD, the index, sequencer/todo and sequencer/head are unchanged.
With main a6b8f71443's GitVcsDriverCore.ts, the two reftable rows and the sequencer test fail (3 of 5); on this head all 5 pass. Without core.warnAmbiguousRefs=false the reftable rows with a same-named branch fail.
The reftable rows run on Git 2.46 or later and are skipped below it. With Git 2.53.0 here all 5 pass. No older Git was available, so a stand-in wrapper reported 2.45.2 for git --version only, while every other command ran Git 2.53.0: the two reftable rows were skipped and the other 3 passed.
GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts alone: 294 passed. Run the way CI now runs server files, four at a time, each in its own process, with GitManager.test.ts, GitWorkflowService.test.ts and GitVcsDriver.test.ts: all pass. vp run check:changed a6b8f71443: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests pass.
This head 8ffefa069a is a merge of main a6b8f71443 into 80876e5037. Its one conflict was in GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts, where main added a gitWithStdin helper next to this branch's Git version check; both were kept, so the merge drops nothing. Before it: one merge of main e93f2a5181 into the earlier head 113f36ddef, with the conflicts resolved to main's guard and tests, two commits for these two cases, and one test-only commit that skips the two reftable rows on a Git older than 2.46, which has no git refs migrate.
On the earlier head 113f36ddef, before this narrowing, maria-rcks verified on Linux with Git 2.43.0 (comment) that a multi-commit cherry-pick --no-commit with a sequencer and no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD refused the selected-file commit, with head, index, MERGE_MSG, the sequencer and both unmerged entries preserved. That check ran on the earlier code, not on this head.

CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and REVERT_HEAD. A partial commit during a cherry-pick
then lost the original author and ended the pick. Reject selected-file

With a same-named branch or tag, rev-parse warned about the ambiguity
and printed nothing, so the guard missed a merge or pick in progress.

Walkthrough
Selected-file commits now detect cherry-pick and revert operations represented by marker files, refs, or sequencer state. Tests verify that rejected commits preserve operation state across file-backed and reftable refs.
Changes: Partial commit guard
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Operation-state check and validation apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts
The guard detects sequencer state and resolves CHERRY_PICK_HEAD or REVERT_HEAD when the corresponding marker file is absent. Tests cover file-backed and reftable refs, and verify that rejected commits preserve the marker ref, sequencer files, and HEAD.
Selected-file commits are now refused during an active cherry-pick or revert, including sequencer-only and reftable cases, and the previously reported issues are addressed. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

…ry-pick
A conflicted multi-commit `cherry-pick --no-commit` stops with the sequencer
but no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD. A selected-file commit then reset the index, so
`cherry-pick --continue` went on with the remaining picks while unresolved
files kept their conflict markers as ordinary edits. Reject selected-file
commits while the sequencer is present.

Merged main to clear the conflict: 113f36d (one merge commit on top of 5ac8a79, no rebase).
The one conflict was in stageCommitChanges in apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts, against fix(server): selected-file commits stop when the index reset fails #28275's reset line. The resolution keeps this PR's checks (the MERGE_HEAD/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD/REVERT_HEAD ref loop, then the sequencer check) and then runs main's git reset --quiet, which still stops the commit if the reset fails. Main's old file-based MERGE_HEAD check stays replaced by the ref loop.
The PR's changed lines against main are the same as at 5ac8a79.
vp run check:changed passes. GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts and GitVcsDriver.test.ts pass 313/313, including main's index-lock test from #28275 and the MERGE_HEAD tests from #24744.
verified unchanged head 113f36ddef1a592fbd02fa3668522892da8ced57 on linux with git 2.43.0. ran vp i and a real background vp run dev separately on github/main (7171fdd771) and the exact pr head, with only one dev server running at a time. used repository playwright with /usr/bin/google-chrome, the web commit dialog, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. the project and thread were created in the app; codex prepared the real git operations. no mocks or replay provider.
main reproduced the bug: selecting only picked.txt committed it as Verification Committer, deleted CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, and left the resolved readme and untracked notes behind.
the pr rejected the identical selection with the cherry-pick error. head, index, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, and MERGE_MSG were byte-identical before and after, including with a same-named branch. committing all files through the dialog succeeded as Original Author and cleared the operation ref.
a conflicted revert with a same-named branch rejected the selected-file commit without changing head, index, REVERT_HEAD, or MERGE_MSG. an all-files commit reached a rejecting pre-commit hook and failed while preserving head and REVERT_HEAD. removing the hook and retrying the dialog completed the revert.
a multi-commit cherry-pick --no-commit with a sequencer but no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD rejected the selected-file commit. head, index, MERGE_MSG, sequencer todo/head, and both unmerged entries were preserved. after resolving both files, the all-files dialog commit succeeded; a real codex turn ran cherry-pick --continue, applied later.txt, and cleared the sequencer.
an ordinary selected-file commit succeeded with the CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and REVERT_HEAD branches still present but no active operation. only a.txt was committed; excluded b.txt and later.txt stayed uncommitted.
blacksmith ran vp test run apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.test.ts: 313 passed. the pr currently has 29 successful ci checks. no source changes or pushes were needed.

Not verified
native desktop, ios/android, macos/windows, remote relay/tunnel connections, and reftable repositories were not exercised on this linux vm. merge protection was covered by the existing focused tests, rather than another ui scenario. the sequencer error toast truncates its final sentence in this existing toast layout; the server returned the complete message. no client code changes are included in this pr.
Thank you for testing this end to end on 113f36ddef. Your runs cover the two gaps the description left open:
Revert in the UI, with a rejecting pre-commit hook. The PR listed this as not checked. You showed the selected-file commit is refused with REVERT_HEAD and MERGE_MSG unchanged, that the hook failure on the all-files commit kept HEAD and REVERT_HEAD, and that the revert finished after you removed the hook.
An older Git. Our runs were on Git 2.53. Your 2.43 run got the same results, and the focused tests passed 313/313 there too.
The sequencer-only case is a useful addition. With no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, the guard still kept the index and the sequencer todo, and cherry-pick --continue then finished the sequence. The ordinary selected-file commit with the same-named branches present also confirms they aren't treated as an active operation.
On the toast cutting off the end of the sequencer message: that's the existing toast layout, which this PR doesn't change. The server sends the full message. Of the parts you left untested, desktop (Linux, macOS, Windows) and iOS/Android are covered by the screenshots in the description. Reftable is covered only by the rev-parse hand checks listed there. Neither of us ran relay or tunnel connections.
I merged main to clear the conflict, resolved to main's guard and tests; main now has #35120, which fixes the plain cherry-pick case.
This PR is cut down to two cases main still gets wrong: a selected-file commit during a conflicted multi-commit cherry-pick --no-commit drops the conflict, and in a reftable repository it still ends a stopped cherry-pick or revert.

The two reftable rows set up their repository with `git refs migrate`,
which Git added in 2.46. On an older Git that call failed before the
selected-file guard ran, so the rows failed without testing it. They now
report as skipped there and still run on Git 2.46 and later.

The one conflict, in GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts after the git helper, keeps both sides: this branch's Git version check for the reftable cases and main's new gitWithStdin helper.
I merged main to clear the conflict with #35618.
The one part I resolved by hand is in the test file: this PR's Git version check and main's new helper are both kept, unchanged.
Nothing else changed.
