Problem

Renaming a project's directory while a thread is open makes a new terminal fail with an unexplained missing-cwd error. An attach failure can also leave an already mounted terminal blank because its output and version have not changed.

Change

Tell the user which folder is missing and to restore it at the original path before retrying. Deliver changed attach errors to an already mounted terminal without replaying unchanged output or repeating the same error. The wire error shape is unchanged. Include disposable fixtures for rebuilding the evidence.

Scope and approval

Fixes #16923 GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/16923 Triaged bug via the automated issue flow: #16923. The report explicitly accepts clear recovery guidance as a fallback to relocation. This fix follows that scope; it does not add project relocation.

Verification

Verification remains incomplete: round-three reviews returned MERGE and FIX_FIRST; the proof audit returned INSUFFICIENT for the full layout/state matrix. No production bug or sensitive-surface finding was reported. The independent rebuild proves one genuine delivery from the changed mounted effect; deterministic four-cell/counter coverage and the listed layout/state rows remain unverified. Desktop/Electron and WSL2, native iOS/Android, and remote transports require further verification. Do not auto-land.

Wide capture pairs also include sidebar width, relative-time, tooltip, cursor and consequent geometry differences unrelated to this fix. Those are disclosed below; they are not a claim of changed production behavior.

The contract regression failed before the fix because the decoded missing-folder error did not include a recovery instruction. Afterward, all six focused tests across packages/contracts/src/terminal.test.ts and apps/web/src/components/ThreadTerminalDrawer.test.ts passed. The existing node helper tests do not mount the terminal; mounted delivery uses the real-app proof below, with its timing limits stated explicitly.

Affected-package typechecks passed for 29 packages before the final main merge. Targeted formatting, lint, and Knip checks passed after correcting the fixture tooling. Final integration results follow below.

Primary integrated verification used a real Linux web app, a persisted Codex thread, and a disposable Git project: rename the project, create a terminal, observe the recovery instruction, restore the folder, create another terminal, and run printf 'RECOVERED\n' successfully. An existing shell remained usable after rename; failure required a fresh terminal.

Evidence index, artifact manifest, rebuild data and diff script.

Rendering environment

Linux 6.1.102 x86_64; Google Chrome 154.0.8037.92; SwiftShader Vulkan renderer; DPR 2; visualViewport.scale 1 (100% page zoom); 24-bit screen color. CSS viewports: 1440x900 wide and 390x844 narrow. Narrow is web, never native mobile proof. T3 Preview saved wide PNGs at 1280x800 and narrow PNGs at 780x1688. Wide video is 2880x1800; narrow video is 780x1688. Originals are retained without resizing. MP4/H.264 uses variable frame rate; ffprobe metrics are in video-environment.json. No claim of a fixed 30 fps is made.

Theme preferences explicitly light/dark through the app's persisted theme keys and storage event. Default terminal size 13; app font system sans; terminal family fallback includes Liberation Mono and Symbols Nerd Font Mono. Exact resolved font binary versions and OS font scaling/color profile were not independently measured. Reduced motion false. Animations and cursor blinking remain enabled; cursor phase is not locked and contributes unexplained pixels. Scroll coordinates 0,0. Date replaced in the page after authentication with 2026-10-21T12:00:00Z; monotonic performance time and timers remain real. Shell is real bash with original startup prompt; recovery input unsets PROMPT_COMMAND, sets PS1 to fixture$ and clears its own terminal before printf RECOVERED. The recording retains the original shell prompt during startup. No personal files or provider output were included.

Before: production files restored from b5a226e49c, fixture overlay retained at a3da62d35b. This was a coordinated three-file source overlay, not a checkout whose HEAD was the baseline. Parent restarted the same isolated sandbox, baseline ready 01:04:17 UTC. After: clean production HEAD a3da62d35b, implementation inherited from ca0ff3e90c; parent restart ready 01:09:10 UTC. Identical dependencies/browser and fixture IDs were reused. Eight videos below are the final accepted set; earlier initial-head captures are superseded.

Browser/server capture ownership released to parent at 01:12:30 UTC. Folder restored. No further browser actions by this agent. Parent owns server session60622 and will stop it after the independent auditor's rebuild. No production changes, PR, comments, push or merge by this evidence task.

Read this before interpreting the pixels

Dates were frozen through the committed fixture, but existing relative-time subscriptions still advanced; sidebar labels differ (18m/27m, 23m/32m, or now). Wide left sidebar width was not successfully normalized: baseline is visibly narrower than final head, moving header/composer/terminal origin and changing thread truncation. The source viewport dimensions and themes match, but these are not strict pixel-identical fixtures. The raw diffs retain all incidental changes; no masking, alignment, cropping or threshold suppression was applied. Narrow web sidebar is closed on both sides.

The named “cold” checkpoint means first open, and “warm” means subsequent New Terminal in the same page; those names describe actions and do not by themselves prove the surface/error causal ordering. Final W-L trace observes New Terminal's live surface ready at performance.now 52906.1ms and error write at 53198.2ms (292.1ms later), with no intervening reset. Baseline W-L has surface-ready with no error write and remains blank through cold/warm/stable. This is useful natural-race evidence, but error-arrival time and output/version invariants were not captured. Other cells often receive the error during setup. A browser-only attempt to delay actual WebSocket responses did not intercept the already-live socket (zero held/released events), and is not a successful timing gate. No deterministic mounted/error-only claim is made.

Recordings have a written timestamp narration below; no audio track was added. Offsets are tool-completion observations relative to the logged recording-start completion, rounded to 0.01s; browser-tool latency means they are approximate video seek points. External rename/restore events are recorded in the log and narrated; the filesystem action has no in-page animation. “Stable” is a second checkpoint without another mutation, not a complete truth-table test.

Recordings and narrated timelines

Contact sheets (before left, after right; rows cold/warm/stable/recovery): comparison-W-L.png, comparison-W-D.png, comparison-N-L.png, comparison-N-D.png

Upload integrity: all 80 public PNGs downloaded and matched local SHA-256; zero mismatches. A default Python User-Agent returned403; Mozilla User-Agent succeeded. Shell locale, exact font binaries, OS scaling and color profile were not measured. Source revision attribution follows the parent-controlled restart/restore messages, not an independent process source hash.

Visible differences, inspected across all 16 checkpoint pairs

  • W-L cold/warm/stable: baseline terminal is blank; final head displays [terminal] Terminal folder does not exist: /tmp/triage-16923/project. Restore the folder at this path before retrying. once. On wide layouts the full error fits one terminal line. Warm/stable show two single-session groups with Terminal 2 selected; the intended active session matches across revisions. First open uses overlay controls; additional sessions reserve the right sidebar. Wide sidebar geometry, text truncation, relative timestamps and resulting main-column/composer shifts differ as disclosed above. The cold title tooltip differs; stable title tooltip is present on both. Cursor position follows the newly printed line.
  • W-D cold/warm/stable: baseline prints the old shorter Terminal cwd does not exist: /tmp/triage-16923/project; final prints the full restore instruction. Both fit one terminal line at this width. Session/group identity and selected Terminal 2 match at warm/stable. Same wide geometry/time differences apply. Final cold has a title tooltip absent in baseline cold; both stable frames have it. Dark theme remains dark throughout.
  • N-L and N-D cold: old text wraps to two lines, full new instruction wraps to three; actual folder path is retained. Overlay terminal controls cross the first text line on both revisions, obscuring a small portion at the right; originals retain this existing layout limitation. The baseline title tooltip is present and final cold tooltip absent. Caret moves down with the additional line; light cold cursor blink/phase also differs. Header, composer and drawer geometry otherwise visually match.
  • N-L and N-D warm/stable: reserved group sidebar reduces text area. Old error wraps to three lines and full restore instruction to five; no horizontal scrolling was introduced in these captures. Terminal 2 is selected in both. Warm title tooltip is absent on both, stable tooltip present on both. Cursor follows final wrapped line. Narrow navigation/header/composer and terminal controls visually match outside tooltip/cursor/text pixels.
  • Recovery, all four cells: both sides show one RECOVERED marker and the fixture$ prompt from a real new bash PTY; Terminal 3 selected, three single groups, New Terminal tooltip visible. Both narrow recovery pairs (N-L and N-D) are exactly pixel-equal at zero threshold. Wide recovery retains sidebar geometry/time/composer displacement. Recovery allocates a new terminal, and does not establish automatic retry, preserved prior-session error history, or original terminal focus behavior. Input was sent through the actual terminal write RPC, not typed via keyboard; this proves live shell input/output, not keyboard-focus correctness.
  • No toast was visible in the named still endpoints. No claim is made that no transient toast existed during the videos. No changes were observed to header/composer labels or terminal controls beyond the disclosed shifts, truncation, tooltips and cursor phase. These observations are visual inspection, not a guarantee that every differing pixel has a known cause.

The requested full minimum C+L matrix is not complete: four C pairs supplied, all four L pairs and optional H remain uncaptured. Deadline and unstable browser/server setup consumed the available session; those gaps are explicit rather than silently passed.

Independent rebuild

The auditor independently verified 88 local artifact hashes and recomputed all 16 raw differences, strict >8/255 threshold maps and pixel counts. A narrow/light rebuild matched the saved terminal region exactly; whole-image differences were 8,604/1,316,640 pixels (0.6535%), including a displaced empty-chat label and breadcrumb chevron.

A real New Terminal failure wrote from the changed session-update effect about 20 ms after surface readiness. The preserved stack distinguishes that effect from initialization. This is one observed post-mount delivery, not deterministic timing, direct output/version-counter proof, or a paired supplemental recording. Independent rebuild notes, mounted-effect stack.

Walkthrough

The terminal drawer now processes error-only session updates. The missing-working-directory error message gives recovery guidance. A new fixture provides setup scripts, browser utilities, and instructions for reproducing and recording a missing-folder scenario.

Changes: Missing terminal folder

Layer / File(s)Summary
Terminal error handling
packages/contracts/src/terminal.ts, apps/web/src/components/ThreadTerminalDrawer.tsx, packages/contracts/src/terminal.test.ts
The terminal error message now instructs users to restore the missing folder before retrying. The drawer processes changed errors when version and output are unchanged. A test checks the message after serialization.
Fixture setup and path state
apps/web/test/fixtures/missing-terminal-folder/fixture.json, apps/web/test/fixtures/missing-terminal-folder/seed.mjs
The fixture defines scenario paths and commands. The seeder prepares the project and worktree, renames or restores the project path, and reports the current path state.
Browser fixture operations and procedure
apps/web/test/fixtures/missing-terminal-folder/browser.mjs, apps/web/test/fixtures/missing-terminal-folder/README.md
Browser utilities seed and reset threads, freeze the clock, observe terminal surfaces, write terminal data, and read drawer state. The README documents the reproduction, recovery, and recording steps.

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

Protect an existing project at the fixture path before merging. The setup instructions should also reset all three threads so repeated recordings start from the intended state.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reset all three fixture threads in the setup example.

fixture.reset(environmentId) resets only fixture.threadId. The procedure says reset clears all three fixture threads, so prior terminal state can remain in the away and long-path threads. Call reset for each fixture thread ID, or state clearly that the operator must reset each thread separately.

Reject an existing project path unless it belongs to this fixture.

If /tmp/triage-16923/project already contains an unrelated repository, prepare accepts it. The script then overwrites fixture.txt and can commit changes already staged in that repository. Check fixture ownership before writing or running Git commands, and limit any fixture commit to its own file.

Thanks for the fix! Main already handles error-only terminal session updates in 28df7a246f. Please cut this PR down to the remaining missing-folder recovery guidance and its focused regression test; the mounted-terminal change is already covered.
