fix(server): import agent sessions from a project's linked worktrees#18198
Importing a selected project now includes native Claude and Codex sessions from its linked Git checkouts. Previously these sessions were skipped even though onboarding groups their history under the main checkout.
Resolve each checkout's Git directory and match its commondir by filesystem identity. Preserve the checkout path and current branch on the imported thread so the existing runtime policy can use that directory on resume. Default, custom and previous T3-managed worktree directories and unrelated repositories remain excluded. Project discovery is unchanged: a repository with only worktree sessions still needs its root added separately.
Credit to @n4mr3g for the diagnosis and original #18198. Contributor commits are preserved, with main merged and the implementation rebuilt to avoid remote-config reads during matching and defer reading HEAD until a session is importable.
Verification on headless Linux:
- Scanner/importer tests: 85 → 85, with two duplicate test bodies replaced by one parameterized test covering ordinary and pointer-based Git directories. Removing the production fix produces 3 failures and 82 passes.
- The first adversarial review found custom/previous managed directories could be imported. The existing parameterized regression now covers these directories and filesystem aliases; both cases fail before the correction.
- Two independent adversarial review rounds completed. Both reviewers found no new confirmed bugs in round two; the existing opt-in worktree deletion policy is disclosed below.
- 88 focused tests pass including the existing runtime-policy suite; server typecheck, scoped lint, formatting and diff checks pass.
- A running isolated server imported root and linked-checkout Claude/Codex fixtures from a real Git repository. Each imported checkout retained its path, branch, messages and native resume cursor. Unrelated and default/custom/previous T3-managed checkouts stayed excluded; repeat imports reused the same threads.
- Before/after verification output. This is a backend change; screenshots do not demonstrate its behavior.
Imported threads follow the existing worktree deletion flow. With automatic cleanup off, the web client offers a separate confirmation to delete the checkout too; accepting it uses forced removal, including for user-created checkouts. @n4mr3g, this existing policy was retained and should be considered when testing imported threads.
No actual provider CLI turn was started. The persisted native resume binding and worktree path were checked, and the existing runtime-policy tests prove cwd precedence. macOS, Windows, iOS, Android and Electron desktop were not exercised. A human can additionally import a real worktree session, send a follow-up and confirm the provider runs in that checkout.
Implemented with Codex GPT-6.1-Sol in T3 Code; tests by Codex GPT-6-Astra; adversarial reviews by Codex GPT-6-Sol and Claude Opus 5.5.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at 409954a
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Session imports now include a project's linked worktrees and preserve their branch and checkout path. Repository identity checks and managed-worktree exclusions constrain the scope, including when real-path resolution fails.

Merge Risk: External image Low · previous review 8aab4
The new scanner test may fail on systems with a symlinked temporary directory. The production managed-directory fallback is intact; the remaining issue is bounded to the test fixture.
Security architecture risk: External image Low · up to 662ad
Import now preserves linked checkout directories, affecting where resumed agents run and which checkout a user can explicitly delete. Repository identity checks, managed-directory safeguards, and destructive confirmation constrain this exposure. No confirmed security regression was found in the inspected paths.
Retained concerns No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
- observed — The new authority-bearing value is a checkout path on the server filesystem. It becomes the resumed agent's working directory and can become an explicit worktree-deletion target. Import itself records a stopped runtime rather than starting an agent turn.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
- observed — The PR newly makes imported external checkouts eligible for the existing explicit deletion policy. In the inspected UI flow, removal requires an orphaned-worktree result, source-control-write permission, and destructive confirmation. The request uses the owning project's root and forced Git worktree removal; this is not automatic ownership of the external checkout.
- observed — Persisting an external checkout does not alone make it eligible for automatic cleanup. Cleanup requires canonical containment in configured managed roots, rejects symlinked worktree directories, and checks project-root containment, branch state, activity, and local changes.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
- observed — Automatic cleanup rechecks thread activity, pending deletion effects, live provider sessions, commit state, and settings under a workspace lease also used during provider startup. These checks provide failure and concurrency containment for managed-worktree removal.
- observed — Resume-time recreation of a missing checkout requires the managed-path predicate. An imported external path therefore does not gain recreation authority merely through its persisted branch and path.
- observed — Explicit worktree removal follows successful thread deletion. If checkout removal fails, the thread remains deleted and cleanup failure is surfaced separately; the flow does not report the thread deletion as failed or roll it back.

Root .git that is a file disables worktree matching.
gitDirIdentity is null whenever the project root's .git is not a directory. Two common layouts hit this case:
- The project root is a submodule, so
.gitis agitdir:pointer intomodules/. - The project root uses a separate git dir (
git init --separate-git-dir).
In both layouts, linked worktrees of the project are classified as Unrelated, and their sessions are skipped. readGitIdentity already resolves the gitdir: pointer. Reuse that resolution here: when the root .git is a file, resolve the pointer and compute gitDirIdentity from the resolved directory.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @n4mr3g
Fixed in 43174b568: the root now goes through readGitIdentity, so a gitdir: pointer (submodule or --separate-git-dir) resolves to its git dir, with a test for that layout.
🤖 Addressed by Claude Code
@n4mr3g Thanks. The supplied code now uses readGitIdentity(root) and computes gitDirIdentity from the resolved Git directory. This addresses the finding and preserves directory-based .git handling.

- fix(server): reconcile linked session imports with main8aab486
Note
Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria
updated the original branch at 1830f94cd1, preserving @n4mr3g's commits and merging current main (071239804e37).
- resolved both main conflicts without restoring unrelated tests that main intentionally removed.
- reused one git-directory reader for discovery and import matching instead of duplicating pointer parsing. discovery, including bare-repository worktrees, keeps its existing behavior.
- fixed the outstanding managed-directory finding: a failed
realPathretains the configured exclusion. added one failing-first case to the existing parameterized regression; it failed before the correction and passes after it. - retained commondir identity matching, branch/path persistence, custom/previous/default managed-directory exclusions, and the existing resume policy.
verification: 60 focused scanner/importer/runtime-policy tests pass through blacksmith. vp run check:changed passes format, lint, knip, generated graphql, affected typechecks and both changed test files. the import regressions fail against current main. two independent gpt-6.1-sol source reviews found no issues at the final head. the review follow-up normalizes the custom-directory fixture before simulating a permission failure: the original fails with a symlinked TMPDIR, and the correction passes all four focused cases. check:changed also passes again after that test-only correction.
real chrome/client/server check with the same git repository and two claude transcript fixtures: main imports only the root conversation; this branch imports root plus linked-checkout conversation. repeat import keeps two threads. the linked conversation renders its messages and feature branch, and sqlite retains its exact worktree path.
unverified: an actual provider continuation, codex browser import, desktop, mobile, macos and windows. fixture provider homes are unauthenticated. the existing runtime policy selects thread.worktreePath for provider cwd; no policy change was needed. @n4mr3g, the existing explicit checkout-deletion behavior described in the pr remains unchanged.
before, main imports one thread:
main imports only the root conversation
after, the branch imports both conversations:
branch imports root and linked-worktree conversations
import interaction and repeat import retain two threads
imported linked-worktree conversation retains messages and feature branch
