fix(server): allow large output during worktree creation#25386
Problem
A post-checkout hook that prints 1.1 MB causes new-worktree thread provisioning to fail with Git output exceeded 1000000 bytes and was truncated, even though native Git succeeds. The failed provisioning can leave a branch and registered worktree behind.
Change
Truncate buffered git worktree add output at the existing limit while continuing checkout progress callbacks. Git's exit status still determines whether worktree creation succeeds. This uses the existing executor options and forwards the callback-preservation option through the internal Git helper.
Scope and approval
Fixes #25370.
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. Focused server fix for the reported worktree-creation failure, with regression tests for calls with and without checkout progress.
Verification
- Red test commit c85909f372: both new cases fail with the reported output-limit error.
- Fix c886ffb85d: all 165 tests in
GitVcsDriverCore.test.tspass. vp run check:changed: format, lint, both knip checks, GraphQL, both affected typechecks, and 165 tests pass. Final check log after merging main.- Two independent reviews found no blockers; proof audit passed. The evidence compares bfc7177f9f with the fix. Latest main 572cf74275 was then merged into the branch; the two-file fix is unchanged.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at c886ffb
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This focused fix prevents noisy checkout hooks from failing worktree creation by bounding captured output while preserving progress callbacks and exit-status handling. Coverage exercises both progress and non-progress worktree creation paths.

Walkthrough
Worktree creation now enables output truncation while retaining line callbacks after the captured output reaches its limit. A regression test checks that worktree creation succeeds when a checkout hook emits 1.1 MB of output, with progress reporting enabled and disabled.
