Dead status is observable a moment before the settle step removes the
worktree, so the assertions raced the removal under parallel load. Wait
for the tree to be gone and the store to stay empty, same as the
retained-store wait cfebfd4 added to the guarded sibling.
Fixes#113
Dead status can be observed before the settle step's store write
lands, so the test's store read raced the write under parallel load.
Wait for the store to have the entry before asserting on it, same as
the settle-state wait a few lines below.
Fixes#111
The activity pass now sets activity_since only when the decided
ActivityState differs from the stored one; foreground/cwd-only diffs and
steady-state ticks leave the clock alone, so the sidebar duration counts
time in the current state instead of reading zero.
Daemon restarts still reset the clock to the restart time (stated in
recover()); the daemon cannot know how long a recovered session had
already been idle.
Every tmux-spawned session now gets its UUID under MAESTRO_SESSION_ID and,
when the runner has wired its base URL from [daemon].bind_addr, that URL
under MAESTRO_URL (#103). The daemon-owned values override anything the
spawn request carried. Adopted sessions stay without them by design.
The sidebar nested a worktree session under the worktree, so a repo grew
a <repo>/worktrees/<branch> folder holding one session of the same name,
and the repo stopped being where you look for the work.
The daemon recorded whatever base_repo the request named, which is the
worktree itself when spawning from inside one; it now records the
resolved main checkout. The web tree groups by that instead of the cwd.
The TUI sidebar is a flat list with no directory grouping, so it needs
no mirror.
Closes#99
run_blocked_work_pass rides the liveness tick but probes on a slower
cadence (DEFAULT_BLOCKED_WORK_INTERVAL, 15s): each probe is three git
subprocesses per session. Sessions without a worktree are filtered out
before any probe, so their indicator costs nothing. A failed probe keeps
the previous value; settled exits clear it.
Session.blocked_work is Option<InTheWay>, refreshed by the daemon's
watcher; None for worktree-less sessions and until first probed.
Defaults on the wire so older payloads stay forward-compatible.
Three in session_manager.rs arrived with #82 after #87 branched; four in
maestro-e2e were fenced off because #88 owns that crate. Removing the
field without them left the workspace uncompilable.
Nothing has honoured WorktreeSpec.cleanup_on_kill since #56, and after
#79 and #81 survival is decided by what is in a worktree, not by what
the spawn asked for. A field that lies is worse than a missing one.
Removes the field from the protocol, the --cleanup-on-kill flag from
the CLI, and the tests asserting its default.
When the liveness watcher finds the tmux session gone, it now settles
the worktree through the same probe_worktree/record_retention helpers
the kill uses: pristine trees are removed, anything else is retained as
exited-with-unsaved-work before anything is torn down. The dead session
drops its worktree reference once settled, so dismissing it neither
refuses nor retains twice. If the probe or store write fails, nothing
is destroyed and the tree stays attached to the record.
WORKTREES.md: written down the settle-then-drop and nothing-destroyed-
when-unrecordable rules alongside the existing exit rule.
--force overrides the kill refusal and nothing else (#81). The guarded
worktree is recorded in the retained store with reason force-killed —
never removed — and the outcome names what was kept so a client can say
where the work went. A tree whose guard is clear never needed the
override; force removes it as usual.
The store write happens before teardown, so a failed retention leaves
the session running and every artifact intact. DELETE /api/sessions/:id
takes ?force=true and answers 200 with KillOutcome; the unforced kill
keeps its 204.
Collapses the two probes #79 and #80 grew in parallel into one:
worktree_probe::in_the_way is the single predicate behind the kill
refusal, the retained list, and the natural-exit classifier to come.
Keeps #79's in-worktree resolution (detached HEAD, missing directory)
and #80's InTheWay payload, and drops the duplicate UnsavedWork type.
Closes#79
The guard moves off the worktree and onto the kill. DELETE
/api/sessions/:id now runs the shared unsaved_work probe before tearing
anything down and answers 409 kill_guarded with the breakdown on the
wire, so a client can say "3 uncommitted files, 2 unpushed commits".
The session keeps running and the tree is untouched.
WorktreeManager::remove is unconditional now — git itself still refuses
a dirty tree as a last line of defense.
One function, unsaved_work(), returns the structured breakdown —
uncommitted tracked changes, untracked non-ignored files, unpushed
commits — so the kill guard and the natural-exit classifier (#82)
answer from the same place. Ignored files never count: every Rust
checkout has a target/, and counting those would leave no session
killable.
WorktreeManager::remove drops its own dirty-tree guard; git itself
still refuses a dirty tree, and the real guard moves onto the kill.
Anything occupying <repo>/worktrees/<branch> — one of ours, one the
operator made, an unrelated directory — is now bypassed by appending
-2, -3, ... to the directory; the branch stays as requested. The same
suffix applies under the [daemon].worktree_root override.
The daemon no longer asks whether an occupant is "ours": delete
registered_for(), the adoption branch in run_add and the
SessionManager::create live-session check, plus WorktreeError::PathExists.
A branch already checked out elsewhere is git's refusal to surface,
already marked by the branch picker's is_head/worktree flags.
Per-entry JSON files under <state_dir>/retained-worktrees/, written like
sidecar records: atomic tmp+rename, missing/malformed files tolerated on
read. Entries carry path, base repo, branch, reason (force-killed,
exited-with-unsaved-work), timestamp; they leave on reclaim or when
prune_missing notices the directory was removed by hand.
The cleanup guard plus deterministic paths had created a trap: one
untracked file an agent left behind — a log, a .env, a stray artifact —
made the guard refuse removal, the directory stayed, and every later
spawn of that branch hit PathExists. The branch was burned permanently
and the product offered no way to clear it. A leftover tree registered
for the same branch is now adopted, so the operator lands back in their
own unsaved work. A tree a *live* session holds is still rejected, since
two sessions must not share a checkout.
Also:
- Fast-forward still awaited /api/info, /api/projects and /api/names
inline, the exact freeze the draft loaders were restructured to avoid.
It posts to the same channel now.
- Draft updates were routed by tab index, which shifts when a tab closes:
an in-flight load could be dropped or land on the wrong pane. Drafts
carry an id and are found by it.
- extend_names left the name it had just displayed at the head of the
queue, so the next reroll produced it again and the key looked dead.
- The fast-forward fallback discarded info.home_dir, so its draft showed
unabbreviated paths and seeded "Other directory…" with / — disagreeing
with the normal draft entry point.
- Web fast-forward mounted via openSession, which replaces the focused
pane: pressing it while attached evicted that session from the layout.
It reuses an empty pane or splits, as the TUI does.
- branchEdited was inferred from the seeded branch value, but in "new"
mode that value is the auto-synced session name — so any form rebuild
froze the branch against later rerolls.
- resolveBaseRepo ignored the worktree checkbox, rebuilding the fieldset
expanded under an unticked box and probing gitroot for a worktree the
operator had turned off.
- short_hash used DefaultHasher, whose algorithm is not stable across
Rust releases, in a directory name — a toolchain bump would orphan
every worktree under the override root. Now FNV-1a.
The existing-branch picker could never succeed in either client: both
treated the main checkout's HEAD as available, and since that is usually
`main` it became the default pick — git then refuses the second checkout.
A TUI test had baked the bug in by asserting the selection lands on the
`is_head` entry. Both pickers now treat "checked out anywhere" as held.
Worktree paths were still not injective. Flattening `/` and `.` to `-`
made `feat/x`, `feat.x` and `feat-x` share one directory, and the
override root keyed on the repo basename alone, so `~/a/maestro` and
`~/b/maestro` collided. A branch name is already a valid relative path —
git stores it as refs/heads/feat/example — so it is used verbatim and
nests under `worktrees/feat/`; the override root gains a digest of the
full repo path. Git forbids holding both `feat` and `feat/x`, so the
nesting cannot collide for valid refs.
Also:
- Recovered sessions dropped their worktree association, so after a
restart a kill cleaned up nothing and the leftover directory blocked
that branch forever. It is persisted on Session now.
- The nesting guard compared git's resolved paths against an unresolved
one, so it silently passed on any symlinked repo path — and that guard
is what stands between a kill and an inner tree's uncommitted work.
- Draft loads ran on the TUI event loop: /api/projects on a cold cache
walks all of $HOME, freezing keys, frames and attached panes for up to
the request timeout. They are detached tasks posting to a channel now.
- Fast-forward in the web client created the session and never mounted
it, so `N` looked like a dead key while the TUI attached.
- The fast-forward fallback seed forced the worktree toggle off, against
both a normal draft and the TUI.
- The projects background refresh honoured the TTL, so two of every three
ticks were no-ops and requests paid for the rescan instead.
The one that loses data: the project picker lists linked worktrees as
pickable rows, so `base_repo` was easily a worktree rather than the main
checkout, and the new placement then nested the tree inside it. Git hides
a registered worktree's contents from the outer `git status`, so the
outer tree read clean and removing it deleted the inner one's uncommitted
work — while that session could still be running. Placement now resolves
to the main checkout via `--git-common-dir`, and removal refuses outright
when `worktree list` reports anything registered underneath.
Also:
- The `worktree_root` override dropped the old UUID without replacing it,
so two repos spawning the same branch name targeted one directory and
the second failed. The repo basename now sits between root and slug.
- Project staleness read `.git/HEAD`'s mtime, which only moves on
checkout. A repo committed to daily from one long-lived branch reported
its last branch switch and got dimmed. Prefer `logs/HEAD`.
- The projects cache TTL (5s) was shorter than its own background refresh
(60s), so nearly every request rescanned all of $HOME under the scanner
lock — and draft panes re-request on unrelated re-renders. Now 180s.
- onSuccess resolved the leaf against the active tab only, so switching
tabs mid-POST orphaned the session. Searches every tab.
Ten findings from reviewing the accumulated blitz/spawn-v2 diff. The two
that could wedge a repo:
- The cleanup guard refused any worktree whose commits were on no other
ref, which is every ordinary unpushed branch. Paths are deterministic
now, so the leftover tree blocked the next spawn and each branch became
a one-shot. `worktree remove` keeps refs/heads/<branch>, so committed
work is never at risk: guard on an unclean working tree alone.
- A worktree whose directory had vanished failed the git probe and was
reported as unsaved work, stranding the registration forever. Prune it
instead, and prune before `worktree add` tests the target path.
Also:
- The CLI hardcoded create_branch: true, so the daemon's existing-branch
path was unreachable. Added --existing-branch.
- Pastes were forwarded without their DECSET 2004 markers, so a remote
shell ran a multi-line paste line by line.
- spawnForm emitted before its seed was restored and after destroy(), so
a rebuilt draft blanked its cwd and a dead form clobbered the live one.
- showRawCwd and the probe's worktree untick never reached the leaf.
- A late autocomplete fetch reopened the popup under a blurred input.
- The "remove worktree when killed" checkbox promised something the
daemon no longer honours; removed.
The subtree search returned early whenever it found *any* group member,
so an in-tree stage that was busy or sleeping on a timer masked a
reparented member genuinely parked on the tty.
Checking every member instead would have meant a /proc scan per session
per tick whenever nothing was parked — the common case. ProcGroups
snapshots /proc once per activity pass and indexes by process group, so
the cost is one walk however many sessions the daemon owns, and the
subtree walk disappears: the index is a superset of it.
Also fixes the background-helper test, which had stopped discriminating.
It polled until awaiting_input was true and caught a moment before the
helper spawned, so it passed against a deepest-descendant walk too. It now
waits for the helper to exist first. Both regression tests were re-checked
by patching each old implementation back in.
Reported in review on #51.

A member of the foreground group can sit outside the pane's subtree: a
stage that forks a terminal-reading child and exits leaves that child
reparented to init while it keeps the foreground pgid. The subtree search
finds nothing and the session reads as idle.
An empty subtree result now falls back to scanning /proc for the group.
The scan only runs when the cheap path found nothing, so the common case
still costs a handful of reads.
Tested at the level it can honestly be tested: scan_for_pgid against this
process's own group, and against a group that cannot exist. Reproducing
the reparenting scenario end to end is not practical — setpgid across
sessions is EPERM, and from a shell the window closes as soon as the shell
reclaims the terminal.
