fix(worktrees): stop silent worktree wipes and misdirected commands - #2240
Conversation
…deletes anything A worktree under .claude/worktrees/ was wiped mid-task five times today, including once through an explicit lock. The script's own merge-detection was checked against the fleet and did not misfire on the destroyed branches, so the gap was upstream of it: --remove was reachable from any agent session in any worktree with zero human checkpoint, since the user's global Claude Code defaultMode is "auto" and this repo's own settings.json auto-allowed every invocation of the script, destructive or not. --remove now refuses to run unless CLEAN_WORKTREE_CONFIRM=1 is set in the invoking shell. This is tool-agnostic by design: it protects against Codex and Antigravity sessions too, not just Claude Code, since none of them will spontaneously set an unusual env var without a human telling them to. Narrows the project's own allow-list to the list-only/dry-run forms of the command so the destructive form is no longer blanket-approved for Claude Code sessions specifically.

… silently misdirecting When a worktree's .git file disappears, git does not error - it walks up the directory tree and silently adopts the next real repository it finds as the target. Every command after that point looks normal but is operating on the wrong checkout, on whatever branch that repo happens to be on. This nearly caused this very fix to land on an unrelated in-progress branch in the main checkout instead of its intended worktree. check-base-freshness.mjs already runs as a SessionStart hook and already has the machinery to surface an advisory finding into the session's injected context. Add one more check ahead of the existing freshness check: compare `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` against CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR (the directory Claude Code was actually told the project lives in, which git's own resolution cannot see). A mismatch means the .git link broke sometime after the worktree was created, and the human-readable error plus the hook's JSON envelope both name the wrong root it climbed to, so a session starting in a broken worktree sees this in its own context instead of silently working against the wrong repository.

…lse positives Two real bugs from automated review on PR #2240, both in yesterday's fix: - clean-worktree.mjs: the CLEAN_WORKTREE_CONFIRM gate fired before dry-run got a chance to win, so `--merged --remove --dry-run` - which deletes nothing - was refused anyway. Gate now only applies when a deletion can actually happen. - check-base-freshness.mjs: the worktree-identity tripwire compared lexical paths, so a CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR reaching the checkout through a symlink or junction would report a false "broken .git link" even on a healthy worktree. Now resolves both sides through realpathSync.native before comparing, falling back to the lexical path if resolution fails (the check stays advisory-only and must never crash the SessionStart hook it runs in). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The CLEAN_WORKTREE_CONFIRM guard added in this branch threw for any `--remove` invocation regardless of `--dry-run`, breaking the documented "dry-run wins over --remove" preview path and failing the pre-existing `parses valid combination of flags` test (which parses `--merged --squashed --remove --dry-run ...` and expects a plain parse result). Only gate the destructive path: `remove && !dryRun`. Also addresses a review comment on the same PR: check-base-freshness.mjs compared CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR against `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` with plain path.resolve(), which does not resolve symlinks/junctions, so an aliased-but-healthy worktree would trip the "broken .git link" tripwire. Canonicalize both sides through realpathSync (falling back to path.resolve if realpath fails) before comparing.
An automated Autofix pass independently pushed an equivalent fix for the same two Codex review findings while this session's own fix was blocked from pushing by disk contention. Resolved in favor of the already-live Autofix implementation for both conflicting hunks; kept this session's additional self-test coverage for the --merged --remove --dry-run case, which the Autofix commit didn't add.

…2240 Two real findings, both in the CLEAN_WORKTREE_CONFIRM gate: - Major/security: the confirm check lived only inside parseArgs, but runMergedWorktreeReport is exported and reachable directly by any programmatic caller with { remove: true, dryRun: false } - bypassing parseArgs, and the confirmation, entirely. Extracted the check into assertRemovalConfirmed() and call it from both parseArgs (fast CLI feedback) and runMergedWorktreeReport immediately before the deletion loop, so the actual boundary is covered regardless of caller. - Minor/stability: selfTest()'s finally block only covered the confirmed case, so a thrown assertion on the unconfirmed-refusal check upstream of it would leave CLEAN_WORKTREE_CONFIRM permanently deleted from process.env in a longer-lived process. Wrapped the whole confirm/parse cycle in one outer try/finally. Verified the boundary fix directly: importing the module and calling runMergedWorktreeReport({ remove: true, dryRun: false }) with the env var unset now lists candidates but refuses before the removal loop, instead of silently deleting.

… fixed The three handover documents said the cause was not conclusively identified. That was wrong, and the answer was in front of me the whole time - both fixes are already on main and this branch predates them: a04330e harden(guard-push): never force-delete a scratch checkout that still holds a borrowed node_modules link (#2244) cdfcbac fix(worktrees): stop silent worktree wipes and misdirected commands (#2240) The old scripts/guard-push.mjs linked a borrowed worktree's real node_modules into a scratch checkout as a Windows junction, then force-deleted that checkout recursively. A git worktree lock cannot stop it because it is a filesystem delete, not a git worktree operation - which is exactly why the third destruction went through a lock. Any concurrent session pushing from a stale base ran it against whichever worktree it had borrowed from. This branch is 122 commits behind origin/main and has neither fix, so the tooling in this worktree - and in the other stale worktrees running alongside it - predated its own fix. scripts/clean-worktree.mjs was investigated and cleared: it contains no filesystem deletion at all. The remedy is to merge origin/main before any further build work, and the documents now say so. Also corrects two claims that went stale: the branch is no longer unpushed, and the authorisation boundary now records that the push happened with the user's explicit agreement after they were told the repository is public.
