Stranded-claim release (RT-99)

Root cause (daemon log + registry, full timeline on RT-99): a deploy restart killed a provision between its claim write and its reply, leaving the tree claimed with no owner ever told. Not error-ordering; the backfill theory is ruled out on the ticket.

What changed

Handoff marker (lib/daemon/handlers/worktree.ts, lib/worktree/registry.ts)

  • claims are written handoff: "pending"; the handler's last act before replying flips it "done"
  • rollbackClaim clears the marker on both branches

Release duty (lib/daemon/reconciler/reconcile.ts)

  • releaseStrandedClaims: a claimed row still pending with no held tree lock has no living owner; released via rollback semantics (pool branch untouched → back on-deck, branch moved → disposable with a stranded reason)
  • keyed ONLY on the marker: RT-96's readyPendingAt (healthy delivered claims mid-install) never matches, and a held lock means the provision is alive in this process
  • pre-marker rows (every existing claim) are never touched

Tests: handler asserts handoff: "done" after delivery; release covers back-to-pool, disposable, delivered/pre-marker untouched, and locked-in-flight skipped. Worktree+daemon sweep 1386/0; tsc, purity, picker gates green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved worktree provisioning reliability by tracking handoff progress.
    • Automatically recovers claims left incomplete if provisioning is interrupted.
    • Restores pending claims to the active pool when their recorded branch is unchanged; otherwise marks them for disposal.
    • Preserves completed deliveries and avoids overwriting claims handled during recovery.
    • Prevents stale success responses when a claim is released during provisioning.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for successful handoffs, race conditions, branch changes, and stranded-claim recovery.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Worktree provisioning now records claim handoff status. Reconciliation asynchronously checks Git state before releasing pending claims and avoids reclaiming claims delivered during that check.

Changes

Worktree handoff recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handoff state and compare-and-set delivery
lib/worktree/registry.ts, lib/worktree/patch.ts, lib/worktree/__tests__/patch.test.ts
TreeRecord supports pending and done handoff states. markHandoffDelivered completes only eligible claimed records and rejects release or missing-row races.
Provisioning handoff tracking
lib/daemon/handlers/worktree.ts, lib/daemon/__tests__/worktree-handlers.test.ts
Provisioning records a pending handoff before branch resolution, marks successful delivery as done, and clears the marker during rollback. Tests cover successful branch provisioning.
Stranded claim reconciliation
lib/daemon/reconciler/reconcile.ts, lib/daemon/reconciler/__tests__/reconcile.test.ts
releaseStrandedClaims checks each candidate’s current Git branch. Matching branches return to on-deck; moved branches become disposable with the Git-derived branch. Reloaded state prevents disposal after concurrent handoff delivery. reconcileRepo awaits cleanup, and tests cover branch movement, delivery races, untouched claims, and locks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6aa2d

The change can reclaim a claim that still has unfinished readiness work, potentially returning an incompletely prepared tree to the provisioning pool and causing incorrect reuse. This should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Skip claims with pending readiness work.

Line 133 releases a pending handoff even when readyPendingAt is set. This violates the recovery contract and can return a tree with unfinished readiness work to on-deck, where provisioning can select it again.

Add an early readyPendingAt exclusion and a regression test.

Proposed fix
 for (const rec of loadRegistry(deps.repoName)) {
   if (rec.state !== "claimed" || rec.handoff !== "pending") continue;
+  if (rec.readyPendingAt) continue;
   if (isTreeLocked(rec.path)) continue;

* badges report the gate ids they count; board counts its decision queue's run gates

The tray dedupes the dock total by id, so board can badge a run gate its decision queue shows without double counting against console. board 0.1.8, console 0.1.4.

* board: resync run gates so a gate settled during a relay gap stops counting

Board's badge now counts run gates, so a run gate answered while the relay was down must leave the cache: the resync re-lists run: and applies the newest row for any key the cache holds. Console comment updated.
