feat(server): run a project action when a worktree thread settles

[t3dotgg]

Finished work in a worktree keeps its build output, caches, and tools until someone cleans them up by hand. A project can run an action when a worktree is created, but it cannot run one when the thread is done.

A project action can now be set to Run in the thread's worktree when the thread settles ("runOnSettle": true in t3.json), for example cargo clean. When a thread in its own worktree settles, manually or automatically, the server runs that action in the worktree. Threads in the project's main checkout skip it, because other threads may still work there. A project has at most one settle action, the same as the setup action. Nothing runs unless a project opts in.

It reuses the setup-script runner. That runner also had a bug: it closed a clean run's shell at the exit sentinel, while bash was still redrawing its prompt, so closeIdle saw activity and left the shell open in the worktree. The runner now waits for the prompt (at most 1 s) before it closes the shell. Setup scripts get the same fix.

This replaces #15991 by @spoukyii. Their commit is unchanged and rebased onto main. They did all of the work and fixed every review-bot finding there. Screenshots of the editor and settings changes are in #15991.

Verification

• Focused tests: server ThreadSettlementService and ProjectSetupScriptRunner (25), web projectScripts (19), mobile terminalMenu (11). All pass.
• tsc --noEmit is clean for contracts, shared, server, web, and mobile.
• A throwaway test (not committed) ran a settle action through the real TerminalManager and node-pty with /bin/bash, 3 times per run. Each time the action deleted target/ and the shell closed. Without the prompt-wait fix, the shell stayed open (2 of 2 runs).
• Not checked: Windows/PowerShell, fish, the desktop shell, and the native mobile app.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds an opt-in settle lifecycle that executes project commands in worktrees, manages new terminals and completion, and exposes configuration across contracts, web, and mobile. Although existing defaults are preserved and core paths are tested, the multi-area automatic workflow and its process side effects warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Project scripts now support a settle role. The web interface and project-file schemas expose the setting, and the server selects and runs the settle script when an eligible thread settles in its own worktree.

Changes

Settle-triggered project scripts

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define and manage script lifecycle roles packages/contracts/src/project.ts, packages/contracts/src/t3ProjectFile.ts, packages/shared/src/projectScripts.ts, apps/web/src/projectScripts.ts, apps/web/src/components/..., apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadGitControls.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/terminal/terminalMenu.ts, docs/user/thread-sidebar.md, packages/shared/src/t3ProjectFile.test.ts	Project scripts and project-file scripts add the optional runOnSettle setting. The editor, settings, imports, menu labels, and documentation expose the role. Helpers select settle scripts and release lifecycle roles claimed by another script.
Select and run setup or settle scripts apps/server/src/project/ProjectSetupScriptRunner.ts, apps/server/src/project/ProjectSetupScriptRunner.test.ts	The runner accepts a setup or settle trigger and selects the matching script. Settle runs use a distinct generated terminal ID when no preferred ID is supplied. Completion observation waits briefly for the shell prompt before cleanup.
Start scripts for settled worktrees apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.test.ts	The settlement service starts a settle script only when the thread remains settled and has a worktree. It tracks successful starts by settlement timestamp. Tests cover skipped runs, repeated events, and retries after a failed start.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 17c52

The settle action feature works in the main path. Before merging, close the small race that can run cleanup against a re-engaged thread, and fix two action-menu behaviors. Settle-only projects cannot reach their action from the menu, and a manually run settle action can become the one-click primary button.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude settle actions from the preferred primary action.

When a user runs a settle action manually, ChatView records its ID as the last-invoked action. This branch then selects that action before the new primaryProjectScript exclusion runs. The one-click button can therefore run cleanup again. Apply the settle-role exclusion to the preferred script as well.
