Problem

A thread working in the project folder (no worktree) keeps the branch it was saved with after its agent runs git checkout or git switch during a turn. Its sidebar row and PR badge stay on the old branch while the folder is on the new one. Reproduced on main c73b38b379 with the web dev server, a fresh database and the Codex provider, on a clone of pingdotgg/zact (theo/edge has PR https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/2, theo/update-13.4.0 has PR https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/12): a new project-folder thread on theo/edge whose first turn ran git switch theo/update-13.4.0 still showed theo/edge with PR https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/2 after the turn.

The turn-end refresh in RunFinalizationService read the live branch but returned when it differed from the stored one, and WorktreeBranchSync only reconciles threads that have a worktreePath.

Change

When a run finalizes, the observer's refresh now updates the stored branch of the thread whose run ended to the live branch, using thread.metadata.update with expectedBranch and expectedWorktreePath, the same guards WorktreeBranchSync uses. It does so only when:

  • the thread has no worktree (worktree threads stay with WorktreeBranchSync),
  • the finalized scope's cwd is that thread's project folder (compared by realPath, so a subagent or tool scope elsewhere does not count),
  • the run is still the thread's current run, HEAD is not detached, and the live branch is not the default branch.

A turn that ends on the default branch keeps the thread's branch, as before: an agent that merges its PR (gh pr merge --delete-branch) lands on main, and the thread must keep that merged PR so auto-settle on merge still fires. Other threads that share the folder keep their branch. After the update, the existing PR status refresh runs for the new branch.

thread.metadata.update now clears the thread's derived branchPullRequest in the same event whenever it changes the branch, so a thread never pairs a new branch with the previous branch's discovered PR while discovery runs or fails. Explicit PR links are untouched. This applies to every caller of the command (turn end, the branch picker, WorktreeBranchSync).

ThreadManagementService is built on top of the Orchestrator, which reads this observer, so the observer cannot depend on it at construction. refresh reads it per call instead, and RunFinalizationService.layer provides the existing instance (the same layer reference, so no second stack is built).

Scope and approval

Fixes #33278

Verification

Tests (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2):

  • RunFinalizationService.test.ts: a project-folder thread adopts the branch its agent checked out fails on main and passes here; keeps a project-folder thread's branch when its turn returns to the default branch, leaves a worktree thread's branch to the worktree sync, leaves a branch checked out outside the project folder, does not refresh during a newer active run pass.
  • runtimeLayer.test.ts, keeps the branch pull request when linking another pull request: a same-branch update keeps branchPullRequest, a branch change clears it, explicit links survive. Fails without the Orchestrator change.
  • vp run check:changed on ae9aad89e1: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages), 8 test files (155 tests) pass.

These tests reproduce #33278: after a turn in the project folder
(worktreePath null) where the agent checked out another branch, including
the default branch, the run-finalization observer leaves the thread's
stored branch unchanged instead of adopting the live branch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
…ks out

A thread working in the project folder kept the branch it was saved with
after its agent ran `git checkout` or `git switch`, so the sidebar row and
the PR badge stayed on the old branch.

When a run finalizes in the thread's own project folder and is still the
thread's current run, the finalization observer now writes the live branch
to that thread, including the default branch, guarded by the expected
branch and worktree. Other threads sharing the folder keep their branch,
worktree threads stay with WorktreeBranchSync, and detached HEADs are
skipped. The PR lookup then runs for the new branch.

Thread management is built on top of the observer, so the observer reads
it per call and RunFinalizationService supplies it.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Project-folder threads now follow their agent's checked-out branch and clear stale branch PR associations. An unresolved review concern asks whether older finalization can overwrite metadata after a newer run starts; the run-identity guard needs resolution.

Walkthrough

After a run, the observer can update an eligible project-folder thread’s branch to match the local checkout before refreshing pull-request status. Runtime layers and tests provide the thread-management, project, and filesystem dependencies used by this flow.

Changes: Project-folder branch reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Branch reconciliation and service wiring
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunFinalizationService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderReplayHarness.ts
The observer compares the working directory with the project folder. For a non-worktree thread with a different branch, it updates branch metadata only when the directory matches the project folder. The finalization and runtime layers provide the required thread-management service.
Branch and pull-request metadata
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts
A changed branch clears its branch-specific pull-request association. An omitted or unchanged branch preserves the association. Tests check the association across branch changes.
Reconciliation and finalization tests
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunFinalizationService.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/RunFinalizationQueue.test.ts
Tests cover branch changes, checkout of the default branch, worktree and outside-project cases, and the required test dependencies.

Explanation

Issue #33278 requires the project-folder thread whose turn ends to adopt the live branch and refresh its PR status, without changing sibling or worktree threads. RunFinalizationService.refresh applies the guarded thread.metadata.update only for the current run, an attached HEAD, and a cwd matching the project root. It then refreshes PR status for non-default branches. Orchestrator.ts clears branchPullRequest when the branch changes, so the old PR link does not remain attached. The tests cover adoption, guards, sibling behavior, and PR-link reset.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The branch-associated PR reset in Orchestrator.ts and its test directly support #33278 by preventing stale PR data after branch adoption. The observer dependency wiring and updates to the runtime layer, replay harness, queue test, and finalization tests support this behavior and its coverage. The reviewed changes show no unrelated changes.

Cover the rejected-dispatch path.

If dispatch rejects a branch update, the observer must skip the PR refresh. Extend the table or add a case with a non-default branch and a dispatch mock that fails with OrchestratorDispatchError. Assert that refreshPullRequestStatus is not called.

Assert the PR refresh after branch adoption.

A return after successful dispatch could skip the new branch’s PR refresh while this test still passes. Record the refresh request and assert it for the non-default case.

Guard branch adoption against a newer run in the command path.

If a new run starts after the shell read, the old finalization can still update the stored branch and start a PR refresh. expectedBranch and expectedWorktreePath do not detect that run. Check run identity under the orchestrator’s thread lock before applying the update.

In the branch-adoption flow in RunFinalizationService, validate that the
finalizing run is still the current run while holding the orchestrator’s thread
lock, before dispatching thread.metadata.update. If the run is stale, skip both
the branch update and the subsequent PR refresh; preserve the existing branch
and worktree checks for current runs.

On the merge-risk note (a newer run starting during finalization): the update is guarded for that transition. refresh skips when the thread's activeRunId is already another run, and the thread.metadata.update it dispatches is a compare-and-set on expectedBranch and expectedWorktreePath. If the newer run's send changed the stored branch first, the update is rejected and logged, and the PR lookup is skipped. If not, the branch it writes is the one checked out in the folder at that moment, which is the branch the newer run starts on. If that run's agent switches again, its own finalization adopts the new branch. No change made.

Follow-up on the CodeRabbit review:

  • RunFinalizationService.ts 135-158, re-checking the current run under the orchestrator's thread lock: not changed. The dispatch is a compare-and-set on expectedBranch and expectedWorktreePath, which the orchestrator checks under its own serialization. A stale run's update either loses to a newer send that changed the branch (and is rejected), or writes the branch checked out in the folder at that moment. That is the branch the newer run starts on, and the newer run's own finalization adopts any later switch. Neither outcome leaves a wrong branch.
  • Assert the PR refresh after the branch is adopted: done in a96e1dd. The adoption cases now await the lookup and assert it runs for /repo on a feature branch and does not run on the default branch.
  • Cover the rejected-dispatch path: skipped. It would pin a logging-and-skip detail without catching a user-visible failure; a rejected update means another writer already set the branch, and that writer's path refreshes the PR.

The newer-run case now has a branch to adopt, and the adoption case checks
expectedBranch and expectedWorktreePath.

Clear the branch-derived PR when adopting a new branch.

The metadata update keeps the old branchPullRequest. If no explicit link takes precedence, the sidebar can show the old PR while discovery runs or after it fails. Clear the branch-derived reference atomically with the branch change in thread.metadata.update. Preserve explicit PR links.

A thread.metadata.update that moved a thread to a new branch kept the
previous branch's auto-discovered PR, so the thread paired the new branch
with the old PR until discovery succeeded again. Clear branchPullRequest
in the same event when the branch actually changes; explicit PR links are
untouched.

Adopting the default branch dropped the thread's branch PR, so a thread
whose agent merged its PR and returned to main never auto-settled.

Evidence

Environment for every capture: real web dev app, Linux Chromium, dark appearance, 1280×800 CSS viewport, DPR 2; separate worktrees and fresh synthetic databases. Display-only privacy masks hide model labels.

  1. Start a project-folder thread on branch A (fix/issue-32637) and confirm its derived #32646 badge.
  2. Ask its agent to run git switch fix/issue-33278, then git branch --show-current, and finish the turn.
  3. Inspect the sidebar: base retains A and its old badge; head adopts B and discovers #33293.
  4. In the next turn, ask the agent to switch to main. Both revisions retain B and its PR context.

Seed script · Interaction driver

Stills were visually inspected and passed a zero-pixel-difference check 500 ms apart. Recordings were inspected across the interaction. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • Other threads sharing the same project folder retaining their saved branches: the reproduction used one active synthetic thread per revision.
  • Symlink-equivalent project roots, separate worktree exclusion, and concurrent-run guards: these alternate paths were not exercised.
  • Explicitly linked PR preservation and the intermediate badge-clearing state: final derived badge replacement was shown, but those states were not isolated.
  • Desktop, mobile, remote connections, other providers, and GitLab MR discovery: evidence covers the web client with one real provider and GitCafe PR discovery.
