fix(server): a large untracked file no longer fills the disk with checkpoint packs - #15297
spiky02plateau wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
…ckpoint packs Capture staged every untracked file into a private index. An untracked file above core.bigFileThreshold is streamed into a pack, and a 1.5 GB file outlasts the 30 s Git timeout, leaving a half-written tmp_pack on every turn while no checkpoint ever succeeds. Checkpoints now never capture untracked files over 100 MiB, and restore never cleans them away. One helper lists them, using lstat so a symlink is never oversized. Capture excludes them from the first git add, and nested repository recovery keeps those exclusions on its retry; a truncated listing stages everything as before. Restore lists them before changing anything and passes them to git clean as anchored exclude patterns, so a skipped file survives even inside an untracked directory; a truncated listing fails the restore before any destructive command.

🟠 High vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts:821
An untracked filename containing invalid UTF-8 is decoded lossily, so lstat(path.join(cwd, entry)) fails and is treated as false; the oversized file is then neither excluded from git add nor protected from git clean. Treat stdoutInvalidUtf8 like a truncated listing (or preserve raw path bytes) so these operations fail safely.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production change modifies default checkpoint capture and restore behavior and adds a line-level static-analysis suppression. Unresolved findings identify cases where large files may still be mishandled or staged changes may be omitted, warranting human review. Not approved because:

…e on undecodable paths The untracked listing now runs against the real index, so "untracked" means what git status shows and a large file that is staged but not committed is still captured. An incomplete listing (Git failed, output truncated, or a path that is not valid UTF-8) now counts as no listing: capture stages everything as before, and restore fails before any destructive command. CHECKPOINT_MAX_UNTRACKED_FILE_BYTES is no longer exported; knip flagged it as unused. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…tignore exposes Restore chose which oversized untracked files to protect using the current ignore rules. When git restore brought back a .gitignore that no longer ignores a large file, git clean deleted it. Restore now lists oversized untracked files before git restore, so an incomplete listing still fails before anything changes, and again after it, and protects the union of both. If the second listing is incomplete, restore fails without running git clean, so no untracked file is deleted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…sified The oversized-file helper treated any lstat failure as "not oversized", so restore's git clean could delete a file it never managed to classify. ENOENT still counts as not oversized: the file vanished after the listing, and clean has nothing to delete. Any other lstat failure now makes the listing incomplete, so capture stages everything as before and restore fails before git restore on the first listing, or without git clean on the second.

The new test checks that restore fails and preserves both the edited tracked file and the unclassified oversized file. It skips Windows and root as described. I inspected the test but did not run it. This addresses the classification-error concern. ✏️ Learnings added

Problem
Checkpoint capture runs
git add -Ainto a private index under the 30 s Git timeout. Git streams an untracked file abovecore.bigFileThresholdinto a pack, so a large untracked file (in my case a 1.5 GB model) outlasts the timeout, Git is killed, and the half-writtentmp_pack_*stays in.git/objects/pack. Every turn repeats this. My machine collected 240 orphaned packs (153.4 GiB) in two days, filling the disk, and no checkpoint succeeded after the file appeared.Expected: a large untracked file in the workspace does not break checkpoints or fill the disk.
Change
Checkpoints never capture untracked files over 100 MiB (
CHECKPOINT_MAX_UNTRACKED_FILE_BYTES), and restore never cleans them away.git statusshows them, withgit ls-files --others --exclude-standard, and checks each withlstat. A file staged but not yet committed counts as tracked, so it is still captured. A symlink is never oversized, because Git stores only the link.git addas:(exclude,literal)pathspecs. The nested repository recovery path keeps those exclusions and adds its own on the retry. If the listing is incomplete (truncated, failed on an unreadable index, holding a path that is not valid UTF-8, or naming a filelstatcannot read for a reason other than the file vanishing), capture stages everything, as it does today.git restore, because a restored.gitignorecan expose files the current one hides. It passes both sets togit cleanas anchored-eexclude patterns. Pathspec exclusions are not enough there, becausegit clean -fdremoves a whole untracked directory even when a pathspec excludes a file inside it. If the first listing is incomplete, restore fails before changing anything. If the second is incomplete, restore fails without runninggit clean, so no untracked file is deleted.Trade-off: an untracked file over 100 MiB that was created after an older checkpoint survives a restore to that checkpoint. Untracked files between 100 MiB and the timeout point, which checkpoints captured slowly before (14 s for 600 MiB), are now left out of checkpoints. Tracked files are unchanged.
The fix prevents the write instead of cleaning up packs afterwards.
Scope and approval
#3646 established this defect: checkpoint capture hits the 30 s
git addtimeout and leavestmp_pack_*files behind. The fix that closed it reused the index on large monorepos. Three later comments on that issue (September 16, September 21 and October 3) report the remaining case, a single large untracked file, on current nightlies, and that is the case this PR fixes. The change stays inside the Git checkpoint driver and its tests. No contracts, settings or clients change.Verification
I reproduced the bug through the driver against a repo with one tracked text file and one untracked file of random data (macOS, Git 2.54).
VcsProcessTimeoutError ... after 30000ms, lefttmp_pack_ohX4v4(1.35 GB) in.git/objects/pack, and published no checkpoint ref..git/objects/packstayed empty, and the checkpoint tree heldtracked.txtand the symlink as mode 120000. Restore took 112 ms, kept the 600 MiB file, reverted the tracked file, and cleaned a new small untracked file..git/objects/packstayed empty, and the checkpoint tree held onlytracked.txt.Focused tests in
GitVcsDriver.test.tslower the cap to 1 KiB throughmakeVcsDriverShape:.gitignorehides and the restored one exposes.lstatcannot read (a directory without search permission), restore fails while leaving tracked edits and untracked files untouched.Six of these fail on main. The truncated capture, staged file and restored
.gitignorecases pass on main, because main captures every untracked file.vp test run src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.test.tspasses (68 tests); lint and the server typecheck pass. The recovery tests now identify the retry by staging order instead of by the presence of any exclusion pathspec, because the firstgit addcan now carry exclusions.A separate adversarial review checked the restore exclude patterns in 36 root and nested cases (
*,?, brackets, backslashes, leading#and!, trailing spaces, tabs, CR, LF, Unicode). Over-cap files survived and similarly named small files were cleaned. A cone mode sparse checkout also kept its exclusions.Cost, median of 10 interleaved runs on a 24k file checkout: capture went from 345 ms to 458 ms and restore from 343 ms to 561 ms. Capture adds one untracked listing plus one
lstatper untracked file. Restore adds two listings.Not checked: Windows and Linux at runtime, non-cone sparse checkout, and a real non-UTF-8 filename. macOS refuses to create one, so that path is covered through the test seam only.
