Interim: no code change this round. The brief listed nothing to change; the pull request #36343 is linked and watched. When I read it, it had no reviews, no line comments and no issue comments, and its checks on 2e798e5 were queued or in progress (none failed, none of the required ones finished). The watch is still on: checks have not passed yet and Macroscope and CodeRabbit have not reviewed, so this head is not yet confirmed green. The fix itself is unchanged: each checkpoint records where HEAD's reflog stood (read before the snapshot and pinned to the same HEAD), the next capture replays the checkouts since that mark onto the previous checkpoint's tree and stores the result as a second parent, and adjacent turn patches, line counts and authored paths start from it.
Not executed during screening. In a Git project, commit shared.txt containing 'base' and create branch B at that commit. Open a T3 Code thread on branch A and ask the agent to change shared.txt to 'A content', add a.txt, and commit both; wait for the turn to finish. In the next turn, ask the agent to switch to B, change shared.txt to 'B edit', and create b.txt; wait for completion and open that turn’s diff. Main shows a.txt as deleted and compares shared.txt against 'A content'; this change should omit a.txt and compare shared.txt against 'base', while retaining b.txt.
Evidence
Environment on both sides: real web client, Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic data, replay agent with scripted Git actions during live turns.
Commit shared.txt containing base, branch B there, then on A complete a turn that writes A content, adds a.txt, and commits both. In the next turn switch to B, write B edit, and create b.txt. Open the latest turn’s diff and expand shared.txt.
None this round. Read the pull request over REST: state open, mergeable true, mergeable_state blocked, zero reviews and comments, check runs queued or in progress on 2e798e5.
Not in this change
Existing checkpoints captured before this change have no reflog mark, so their turn diffs are not repaired, and the first checkpoint after upgrading still uses the old comparison.
git switch -m / git checkout -m merging local edits: the turn start takes the destination branch's version of such a path, so the carried edit is attributed to the switching turn.
Non-adjacent and full-thread diffs still compare checkpoint trees directly across a branch switch.
A switch landing between the reflog read and file staging is still attributed to the earlier turn (same as main); only the inverted-patch case is closed.
The lists the fetch and push URLs of a partial clone remote test depends on the host's global git url.*.insteadOf config; left as is.

Proof captured by GPT-6.1 Sol and checked by Claude Opus 5.5
A turn that switched branches was diffed against the previous checkpoint's
tree, so files that only exist on the branch it left showed up as deletions
and shared files used the old branch's contents as the before side.
Each checkpoint now records where HEAD's reflog stood, read before the
snapshot and pinned to the same HEAD the snapshot is parented on. The next
capture replays the checkouts since that mark onto the previous checkpoint's
tree and keeps the result as a second parent: where the turn started. Patches,
line counts and authored paths for adjacent checkpoints start there. Resets,
pulls, older checkpoints and an unreadable reflog keep today's comparison.
A switch that lands while a capture is staging files is after the mark, so it
is applied to the next checkpoint and never to a snapshot that predates it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <[email protected]>
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Turn diffs now account for branch switches so branch-imported changes are not attributed to the turn. The change is confined to checkpoint metadata and diff baselines, without changing working files or restored snapshot contents.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Checkpoint capture now records branch-switch context and passes the prior checkpoint reference to Git capture. Diff and authored-path queries use the resolved turn start. Tests cover branch switches, commits, resets, and a switch during checkpoint capture.
Capture inputs accept an optional previous checkpoint reference. The orchestration passes it for checkpoints with an ordinal greater than zero.
Record and reconstruct branch switches apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.test.ts
Git capture records the resolved HEAD and a reflog marker. When the prior checkpoint and marker align, capture can create a turn-start commit that applies intervening branch-switch changes.
Resolve diff and authored-path start points apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts, apps/server/src/checkpointing/CheckpointStore.test.ts
Diff and authored-path queries resolve the turn start. Tests cover branch switches, commits, resets, and a capture race during a branch switch.
Diffs after a branch switch now follow the destination branch, but a full-thread diff of a one-turn thread that switched branches will omit the branch-switch changes, and submodule changes across a switch can still appear in a turn diff. The impact is limited to diff display in specific scenarios. Fix the full-thread comparison mode before merging.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): turn diffs follow branch switches" matches the main change: adjacent turn diffs now compare against the destination branch's starting state after a branch switch, as the linked issue #8204 describes. It uses a conventional commit prefix and a plain-language summary. It does not mention the reflog-based mechanism or the adjacent-only scope, but it does not need to cover every detail.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#8204] The issue requires that the latest turn's diff, after a branch switch within a thread, show only the changes made on the new branch during that turn. The reviewed head implements this for adjacent checkpoints. In apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts, captureCheckpoint reads HEAD reflog moves (readHeadMoves, pinned to the resolved HEAD). It replays the checkout: moving from entries since the previous checkpoint's mark onto that checkpoint's tree (resolveTurnStart and the update-index/write-tree sequence). It stores the result as a second parent, the turn start. diffCheckpoints and listAuthoredPaths use this turn start only when its second parent is the requested from checkpoint. The reported case therefore compares the destination branch's base state, so the deletion of A's a.txt no longer appears. The author reports three new cases that fail on origin/main and pass with the change. Those cases are not re-run in this review. The issue scenario is adjacent-turn, so the scope matches. Remaining limits, stated by the PR: non-adjacent and full-thread ranges still compare checkpoint trees directly, and a switch between the reflog read and staging is attributed to the earlier turn. Both limits are outside the issue's stated steps.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed areas support the checkpoint branch-switch fix. GitVcsDriver.ts adds the reflog scan, the HEAD trailer mark, the turn-start commit, and the diff/authored-path resolution. CheckpointStore.ts, VcsDriver.ts, and CheckpointService.ts add the optional previousCheckpointRef plumbing that carries the prior checkpoint into capture. Ordinal zero omits the property. CheckpointStore.test.ts and GitVcsDriver.test.ts add tests for branch switch and reset cases. The head value added to resolveCaptureRepository is used only by the capture path. The submodule exclusion in the turn-start index replay is a guard within the same feature. No unrelated file or behavior change was found in the reviewed diff of GitVcsDriver.ts. The other changed files were assessed from the summary only.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template in structure, with the Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections all present. The Problem and Change sections are clear, and the Scope section links issue #8204 and the superseded PR. The Verification section, however, does not meet the template's requirement for focused tests or checks with observed results for the changed behavior. It says no tests ran this round and cites only a scenario proof and a REST read of PR state. The author also states that the PR checks are still queued or in progress, so the change is not yet confirmed green. The template says "Tests pass" alone is insufficient, and the author gives no test names or results for the changed behavior in this PR. The description has substance, but its verification evidence is incomplete. It also includes a long interim status note that does not match the template.
Resolution
Rewrite the Verification section to list the focused tests run for the changed behavior, such as the new CheckpointStore, GitVcsDriver, and branch-switch race tests, with their observed results. State the environment and the test command that produced those results. Note what could not be checked, including the pending CI checks and the unexecuted reproduction on main. Move the interim status and reviewer-tracking notes out of the description, or reduce them to a brief note. Confirm the Scope section explains why the change needs no separate issue, if applicable, and keep the Change section focused on the fix.

- Line 1707: Preserve the original checkpoint-tree baseline for full-thread
comparisons by carrying an explicit full-thread comparison mode through the
query/store boundary. In the GitVcsDriver flow around resolveTurnStart, bypass
turn-start resolution in both diff and authored-path queries when that mode is
set; keep existing resolution for ordinary turn requests, including
branch-switch behavior. Ensure CheckpointDiffQuery.getFullThreadDiff retains
this mode when delegating to getTurnDiff.
- Line 975: Replace the plain arrow-function definitions of readHeadMoves and
resolveTurnStart with named Effect.fn wrappers, using operation names tied to
GitVcsDriver. Preserve tracing by default; use Effect.fnUntraced only if an
enclosing span already covers each helper, and document that choice.
- Line 1529: Update the catch-path log annotation containing cause so it uses an
established bounded failure tag or category instead of String(cause); preserve
the existing error-handling behavior.
- Line 1477: Update the `diff-tree` filter in the turn-start replay loop so
gitlink entries are applied through the existing `update-index` path rather than
dropped; retain an exclusion only if a specific failure requires it, and
document that failure. Add checkpoint diff regression coverage for gitlink
addition, removal, and pointer updates across branch switches, asserting each is
excluded from the adjacent-turn diff.

Use Effect function wrappers for these Git helpers.

As per coding guidelines, “Reusable functions use Effect.fn("Service.operation")”; path instructions also require named spans by default.

Replay gitlink index entries when reconstructing the turn start.
The filter at apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts:1477 drops every diff-tree line whose old or new mode is 160000. That covers gitlink additions, removals, and pointer updates. The replay loop then never applies those entries to the start index.
Consider a switch from a branch without a submodule to one that adds an uninitialized submodule. The start tree lacks the gitlink. The destination checkpoint tree includes it. The adjacent-turn diff and listAuthoredPaths can then report the submodule as added during the turn, although the branch switch made the change. The reverse switch reports a spurious removal. A pointer update between two branches reports a spurious update.
The inline comment justifies the exclusion only by the submodule's own checkout. The gitlink index entry is a separate tree entry, and a switch changes it. Keep the exclusion only if it guards a specific failure, and document that failure in the code. Otherwise, apply gitlink entries through the same update-index path as other entries.
Add a regression case to the existing checkpoint diff tests. Cover an added gitlink, a removed gitlink, and a pointer update across a branch switch. Assert that the adjacent-turn diff excludes each change.

Preserve checkpoint-tree comparisons for full-thread requests.
For a one-turn thread, apps/server/src/checkpointing/CheckpointDiffQuery.ts delegates getFullThreadDiff to getTurnDiff with range 0–1. If that turn switched branches, this resolver substitutes the synthetic turn start. The full-thread result therefore loses the original checkpoint-tree baseline, contrary to the stated full-thread contract. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Carry an explicit comparison mode through the query/store boundary. Bypass turn-start resolution for full-thread requests in both diff and authored-path queries.

Open a T3 Code thread on branch A and ask the agent to change shared.txt to 'A content', add a.txt, and commit both; wait for the turn to finish. In the next turn, ask the agent to switch to B, change shared.txt to 'B edit', and create b.txt; wait for completion and open that turn’s diff.
