RT-34: worktree lifecycle — ephemeral trees, on-deck pool, parking-lot retirement

[m4ttheweric]

Ships RT-34 phase 2: rt owns the full worktree lifecycle, and the parking lot is gone.

What this does

• Ephemeral worktrees with an opt-in on-deck pool.rt worktree provision claims a warm tree (or cold-creates on any repo with zero config); trees live for a unit of work and auto-dispose when their MR merges, behind a five-condition guard (generated-drift-tolerant dirty check, MR-sha containment anchor that survives squash-merge + delete-source-branch, BOARD-10 CI-attendant lease, reactor-only grace period). Refusals park the tree in a disposable state for human triage instead of guessing.
• Daemon reconciler (lib/daemon/worktree-reconciler.ts): registry ground-truth sync (prune/adopt/branch drift/orphaned-creating scrap), the merge reactor (MR-keyed fired store with a real retry fix the old checkAndPark silently lacked, merged/closed/reopen divergence, main auto-return-to-default with pre-vetted destination), freshen (fetch+ff, sync.json-aware stash handling, changed: glob-triggered ready steps, doubling backoff), replenish/shrink with hard caps and cross-pass create backoff. All promise-based async; kicked detached from the cache refresh so a pool build never delays a status broadcast.
• Verbs: rt worktree provision/create/dispose/list/freshen/adopt + a bare rt worktree nav picker; typed refusals everywhere; the shell wrapper now cd-jumps on bare rt worktree (re-source your rc).
• Parking lot deleted: checkAndPark, rt park * (now a deprecation pointer), slot index maps, claims machinery. The surviving intelligence (dirty classification, Desktop-marker stashes, agent-sparing process kill, transition detection) lives on in the reconciler. worktree each --parked became --on-deck; the pre-commit hook guard now blocks on-deck/*.
• Migration: rt worktree adopt registers the main clone, claims occupied trees, disposes clean parking-lot/N trees through the normal guard, and deletes the legacy state files.

Design + process

Spec (.local-dev/specs/2026-08-17-worktree-lifecycle-design.md, rev 4) and plan survived multi-round adversarial review before implementation; 15 tasks executed subagent-driven with per-task review gates and a Fable whole-branch final review. lib suite 934/0, e2e 46 pass / 3 skip / 0 fail, tsc clean.

Post-merge follow-ups (tracked in RT-34): assured-dev config + adopt on the live daemon, the skill flips (stage-provision, both shepherdrs, worktrees.md, find-worktree retirement), Linear bookkeeping (RT-28 seam note, MAT-375, BOARD-10).

localBranchNames ignores a failed git for-each-ref.

On a non-zero exit the function returns an empty set. disambiguate then treats every candidate as free and can pick a branch name that already exists locally. The later checkout fails and rolls the claim back, so the effect is a confusing refusal instead of a clean name. Check r.exitCode and refuse when the listing fails.

Processes are killed even when disposal then refuses.

killWorktreeProcesses runs before git worktree remove. The removal can still fail and return refuse("remove-failed") at Line 272; lib/worktree/__tests__/dispose.test.ts:569-580 covers exactly that path with a locked worktree. In that case the user's processes in the worktree are already terminated, the tree survives, and the outcome reports only a refusal.

The kill must stay before the removal, because open file handles block git worktree remove. So report the side effect instead of reordering: include the terminated count in the remove-failed refusal log, or extend DisposeOutcome so the caller can surface it.

Guard 5 fails open when claimedAt is unparseable.

If rec.claimedAt is present but does not parse, Number.isNaN(claimedMs) is true and the grace check is skipped, so auto disposal proceeds. classifyDirtyAsync deliberately fails closed on unknown state, and the module header calls the guard the feature; this branch takes the opposite stance for the same class of unknown.

The blast radius is bounded, because guards 2 and 3 must already pass, so only a clean and fully-pushed tree is affected. The failure mode is still the one this guard exists to prevent: a stale merge event reaps a tree the user just claimed.

🛡️ Proposed fix

 // 5. Auto only: a just-claimed tree can't be reaped by a stale merge event.
if (auto && rec.claimedAt) {
const claimedMs = Date.parse(rec.claimedAt);

Bound ttlSeconds and reject future heartbeats.

The header states that a schema-drifted lease must never wedge disposal forever. Two inputs break that invariant:

• heartbeatAt in the future makes now - heartbeat negative, so the lease reads fresh for any positive TTL. Disposal then refuses with attended on every pass until the file is removed by hand.
• ttlSeconds is taken from the file with no upper bound. A value such as 999999999 holds the refusal open for years.

Both directions are only reachable from a malformed lease, and both are permanent rather than self-healing.

Normalize app config keys after reading the file.

readJson<WorktreeAppConfig>(path, APP_CONFIG_DEFAULTS) only applies the defaults when the file is missing or unreadable. If ~/.rt/worktrees.json exists with a partial object (for example {"enabled": false}), killProcesses resolves to undefined. undefined is falsy, so the reconciler passes killProcesses: false into disposeTree and process termination silently stops, which contradicts the documented default of true.

Report a failed git worktree remove in scrapTree.

scrapTree discards the exit code of worktree remove --force and then deletes the registry row unconditionally. If the removal fails (busy directory, permission error), the directory and the on-deck/<name> branch survive with no registry entry. reconcileRepoRegistry later re-adopts that path as unmanaged, so the ephemeral lifecycle never disposes it and the disk usage persists silently.

Log the failure so triage has a signal.

The mid-pass claim test depends on wall-clock timing.

The test relies on a sleep 1 ready step and a 300 ms delay to land the registry write inside tree A's freshen. On a loaded CI runner the ordering can invert and the test then asserts the opposite behavior. Consider gating the write on an observable signal, for example poll until tree A holds its lock, instead of a fixed delay.

kicks is captured but never asserted.

The harness exposes kicks, and the handlers call opts.kick() after a successful provision and after any disposal. No test asserts that contract, so a regression that drops the replenish kick would pass. Add an assertion in the provision and dispose tests.

fired grows without bound.

fired keys are removed only when the MR returns to opened. A merged MR never reopens, so its key stays in ~/.rt/worktree-reactor-state.json forever. The array is read and rewritten on every pass for every repo, so the file and the per-pass work grow with the lifetime count of merged MRs. Add a bound, for example drop keys whose branch no longer appears in the live cache, or store a timestamp per key and expire it.

Move the readdirSync import to the top, and note what this test does not cover.

require("fs") inside the test body is inconsistent with the top-level fs import already in this file. Add readdirSync to that import instead.

The suite name is writeJson atomicity, but the assertions only prove that a single write round-trips and leaves no .tmp file. They do not cover concurrent writers, which is the case where the fixed ${path}.tmp name in lib/json-store.ts:37-39 can tear a store. Consider renaming the block to reflect the actual scope, and add a concurrency case once the temporary filename is unique.

Replace mr: any with the shape the guard actually reads.

cacheEntries is the input to dispose guard 3, the check that decides whether unpushed work is deleted. With mr: any, a typo such as mr.state versus mr.status type-checks and silently sends every merged tree down the weaker remote-anchor path. joinedMr at Line 146 already asserts the real shape with a cast, so the type exists — declare it once instead.

♻️ Proposed refactor

+/** The slice of the cached MR projection the dispose guard reads. */+export interface JoinedMr {+ iid?: number;+ sha?: string | null;+ state?: string | null;+}+
export interface DisposeDeps {
repoName: string;
repoPath: string;
/** Branch-keyed MR cache (daemon `ctx.cache.entries`). */
- cacheEntries: Record<string, { mr: any; repoName?: string }>;+ cacheEntries: Record<string, { mr: JoinedMr | null | undefined; repoName?: string }>;

Then joinedMr returns JoinedMr | null and the cast at Line 146 disappears.

Check that ctx.cache.entries in lib/daemon/handlers/worktree.ts:132-146 still assigns cleanly. That call site already uses as DisposeDeps["cacheEntries"], so a widened projection type may need the cast kept.

Inline comments:
In `@lib/daemon/handlers/worktree.ts`:
- Around line 554-560: Use one shared repository-level lock for registry
mutations across the adopt flow and the provisioning/reconciler paths: update
the locking around withTreeLock and reconcileRepoRegistry so all operations for
the same repo use the same lock key, rather than `${repoPath}`#adopt`` versus
rec.path. Ensure reconcileRepoRegistry is always invoked while that shared lock
is held, preserving serialized registry rewrites.
In `@lib/json-store.ts`:
- Around line 37-39: Update the JSON store save flow around the temporary file
creation and write/rename operations to use a unique temporary filename per
save, preventing concurrent writers from sharing it. Ensure any created
temporary file is removed when writing or renaming fails, while preserving the
atomic rename behavior and final directory contents.
In `@lib/worktree/__tests__/config.test.ts`:
- Around line 53-70: Update the worktree creation flow to expand the configured
worktrees.root value before passing its path to runGit, using HOME-based
resolution for a leading "~". Extend the declared block round-trip test to
create the worktree and assert the resulting path is rooted under the expanded
home directory, while preserving non-tilde roots.
In `@lib/worktree/branch-name.ts`:
- Around line 14-28: Update slugifyTicketTitle to sanitize ticketId with the
same branch-safe slug rules before inserting it into the format, while
preserving the documented header example. Replace placeholder substitution with
a literal-safe approach that replaces every occurrence of both <ticket>
and <slug> without interpreting replacement `$` sequences.
In `@lib/worktree/create.ts`:
- Around line 59-76: Update createTree to acquire a repo-scoped lock before
loadRegistry, pickName, and path derivation, and keep that lock through the
runCreate registry update so concurrent creates cannot lose read-modify-write
changes. Use the existing per-path lock only for path-specific work if parallel
execution is retained, while ensuring name selection and registry persistence
are serialized per repository.
In `@lib/worktree/dispose.ts`:
- Line 281: Serialize every worktrees.json registry read-modify-write with a
repository-scoped lock, including the update in the current disposal flow and
the analogous operations in patchTree, createTree, scrapTree, and
reconciliation. Ensure each operation acquires the repo lock before loading and
mutating the registry, then releases it after saveRegistry completes; retain
existing per-tree locks and avoid leaving any registry update outside this
serialization.
In `@lib/worktree/git-async.ts`:
- Around line 115-139: Update listWorktreesAsync to return null when runGit
reports a non-zero exit code, while preserving the existing WorktreeEntry[]
result for successful commands. Update reconcileRepoRegistry to return the
registry unchanged when listing returns null, and update runCreate to skip

- Around line 239-242: Update the Guard 5 logic in the auto-disposal path of

Assert the exact epoch increment.

saveRegistry increments the repository epoch by one after each successful save. The current assertions only check that the value changed. Assert the exact values to detect skipped or incorrect epoch updates.

Proposed test strengthening

- expect(afterFirst).not.toBe(before);+ expect(afterFirst).toBe(before + 1);
saveRegistry("r", [rec({ name: "dobby" })]);
- expect(registryEpoch("r")).not.toBe(afterFirst);+ expect(registryEpoch("r")).toBe(afterFirst + 1);
