Getting a repo from one machine onto another meant a manual clone, then copying .env and other gitignored files by hand. The "Run on" menu only lists machines that already have the project, so there was no way to start that from the place you pick a machine.

Now "Run on" has a faded "Add to another machine ›" item. Hover it and pick a connected machine. A dialog shows source → target, lets you pick SSH or HTTPS and the folder, and lists the source's gitignored files with .env* checked. It clones with the existing tracked clone (same progress, cancel and retry toasts). After the clone finishes, it copies the chosen files and reports what it copied.

• The client relays the files: it reads them from the source with projects.readFile and writes them to the target with projects.writeFile. The servers never talk to each other.
• New server call projects.listIgnoredFiles (git ls-files --others --ignored --exclude-standard --directory), behind a new ignoredFileListing capability. Folders that are ignored whole, like node_modules, are left out.
• Fix in the existing clone flow: the project enrichment cache kept "no repository" from when the folder was empty, so a fresh clone did not group with its other copies for up to a minute. It is now invalidated and re-requested when the clone finishes.
• Limits: needs a git remote; text files up to 1 MB; symlinks skipped. Not yet on mobile or in the command palette, and not offered once a thread has started.

Before	After

Verified end to end with two local servers: the clone landed, .env, .env.local and .dev.vars were copied, node_modules was skipped, and the new machine showed up under "Run on" without a reload.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This adds a substantial cross-machine cloning workflow with new authorization, filesystem RPCs, and transfer of selected ignored files such as .env files. The new user-facing behavior, product-default changes, and sensitive-data handling warrant human review.

Notes:

• All code in this push has already been reviewed. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

📝 Walkthrough

This change adds project cloning to another machine, with optional copying of selected Git-ignored files. It adds an ignored-file listing RPC, target-machine actions in the project toolbar, and a dialog that configures cloning and file selection.

Ignored-file listing contract and RPC packages/contracts/src/project.ts, packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts, packages/contracts/src/environment.ts, apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.ts, apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.test.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/auth/RpcAuthorization.ts, apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts, apps/server/src/observability/RpcInstrumentation.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/projectCommands.ts	Adds the ignored-file request and result contracts, the projects.listIgnoredFiles RPC and client query, and server-side Git listing. The listing returns regular files with byte sizes, checks at most 200 paths, and reports truncation.

The authenticated application shell mounts the dialog host, and the server refreshes project enrichment after a clone.

Cloning has no demonstrated completion failure, but its new post-clone work belongs in a domain service under the project guidelines. Address that boundary before merging or accept it as a bounded follow-up.

Move post-clone lifecycle work into a domain service.

onCloned in apps/server/src/ws.ts now adds enrichment invalidation and re-requesting to an already multi-step domain pipeline. The project guideline requires transport handlers to decode input, call one service method, and map errors. Move the complete post-clone lifecycle operation behind the project or clone service. Preserve the existing operation order and Effect.ignoreCause behavior.

The stale-enrichment claim for non-WebSocket callers is not established because no other ProjectCloneTracker.start caller was found.
