The pull-request and settlement services check for a .git entry before using a worktree for branch pull-request discovery. If the entry is absent or a filesystem error occurs, they use the project workspace root. Tests cover linked, non-Git, and missing worktrees.

Changes: Worktree Git detection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Check worktree Git metadata apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadPullRequestService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadPullRequestService.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadSettlementService.test.ts	Both services check for a worktree .git entry before selecting the Git working directory. If the entry is absent, or a filesystem error occurs, they use the project workspace root. Tests provide the Path dependency and verify directory selection.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

• pingdotgg/t3code#24390 — The change uses the project workspace root when a worktree lacks a valid .git entry, but does not recreate the worktree or change storage-cleanup handling.

Possibly related PRs

• pingdotgg/t3code#24398 — Both changes address worktree directories that exist without a valid .git checkout. This PR falls back to the project root for pull-request lookup; the linked PR removes leftover folders and recreates the checkout.

In uncommon permission-error cases, a thread may be settled incorrectly and require manual recovery.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #24797 permits checking for <worktree>/.git before selecting the lookup directory. ThreadPullRequestService and ThreadSettlementService now use the worktree only when that entry exists. Both fall back to project.workspaceRoot when the entry is absent. Tests cover a linked worktree, a folder without .git, and a missing folder. The optional “worktree missing” display and the alternative retry threshold are not required.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed production code and tests address the same worktree lookup behavior in PR discovery and settlement. The Path dependency and test harness updates support that behavior. No unrelated change is demonstrated in the whole-pull-request diff.
