Problem

On Windows, deleting a thread and answering yes to "Delete the worktree too?" fails with fatal: failed to delete '<worktree>' and leaves the folder half-deleted. The client stops the thread's provider and then removes the worktree right away. That stop only queues a provider-session.detach, and the provider's processes (the CLI, MCP servers it started, Codex's helper processes) keep files and their working directory open for a few seconds while they exit. Windows won't delete an open file or a process's working directory, so the delete fails partway. Retrying a few minutes later works.

Fixes #27018

Change

On Windows, removeLinkedWorktree now retries the folder delete every 250 ms for about 10 seconds, unless the folder is already gone. .git is put back only after the last failed attempt, so a delete that still can't finish leaves a worktree that a later retry can remove, as before. Linux and macOS still use git worktree remove and are unchanged. The storage cleanup sweep uses the same helper, so its deletes get the retry too.

Waiting for the provider's processes to exit before deleting would be more direct, but the stop runs as an async effect and the MCP servers are started by the CLI, not by T3, so the server has nothing to wait on.

Scope and approval

Fixes the bug in #27018. The reporter used handle.exe to show provider processes holding the worktree at the time of the failure, and the delete worked once they had exited.

Verification

vp test run apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts -t "Windows delete": a new test runs the Windows deletion path with a file system whose first 2 deletes fail with EBUSY, then checks that the folder and its Git registration are gone. It fails without the fix.
The other 40 worktree tests in that file pass. preserves newline characters in worktree paths when listing refs fails on this Linux host with or without the change.
Server typecheck, lint and format pass.

Not checked: a real Windows machine. I ran the Windows code path on Linux by setting the platform to win32.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at cd3a46b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Windows worktree deletion now retries briefly while provider processes release open files. The retry is bounded, and existing worktree validation, lock checks, and deletion policy remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

Forced Windows worktree deletion now uses recursive removal and retries failures up to 40 times at 250 ms intervals. If retries fail, the code attempts to restore the saved .git file. New tests cover busy errors and interrupted deletion.

Changes: Worktree removal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Retry recursive deletion `apps/server/src/vcs/worktreeRemoval.ts`, `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts`	Forced recursive deletion retries up to 40 times at 250 ms intervals. If the retry operation fails, the code attempts to restore the saved `.git` file. Windows tests cover success after busy errors and `.git` restoration after interrupted deletion.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: External image Minimal · up to 9c7b1

Deleting a thread and its worktree on Windows now retries when provider processes still hold files open. Linux and macOS behavior is unchanged. No remaining merge-blocking risk is identified; real Windows validation is the only open item.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, change, linked issue, and focused verification. It also reports the platform limitation. The scope section does not state explicit maintainer approval, but the rest of the description is substantially complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#27018] requires Windows worktree deletion to tolerate files that remain open after provider shutdown. removeLinkedWorktree retries forced recursive deletion 40 times at 250 ms intervals. Each filesystem deletion settles before .git is restored after final failure or interruption. The tests cover busy-delete retries, an already-removed directory, and interruption recovery. Linux and macOS retain the Git removal path. Retries apply only when input.force is true; the provided evidence does not establish the caller's force value. This does not establish a concrete unmet requirement for the reported confirmed worktree deletion flow.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR changes are limited to worktreeRemoval.ts and its tests. Retry handling, .git recovery, and the interruption regression test all support [#27018]. The shared removal helper also serves storage cleanup, which uses the same affected deletion path. No unrelated changes appear in the reviewed diff.

Treat an already-removed folder as a completed deletion.

If another cleanup removes worktreePath after a Busy attempt, the next attempt can return NotFound. This predicate stops retries, but Effect.retry propagates the error. removeLinkedWorktree then fails before Git metadata cleanup. Check whether worktreePath is gone on NotFound; if it is, continue to the Git cleanup step. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

✅ Addressed in commit ee21052

Aashx-j11d ago

Claude Opus 5.5 writing on behalf of ash

Fixed in ee21052eea. The delete now passes force: true to remove, so a folder that is already gone counts as deleted and Git still drops the worktree's metadata. In the Windows retry test, the last held attempt now removes the folder before failing. Without the fix that test fails with NotFound.

CcoderabbitaiBot11d ago

@ashx-j Thanks. The supplied code now passes force: true to fileSystem.remove. An already-removed folder therefore counts as successful deletion, so execution continues to Git metadata cleanup. This addresses the finding.

206
207	Section titled “Handler result wrappers (deferred responses, fork, uninterruptible)”
208
209	A handler’s return value is interpreted by the server. Beyond the obvious cases there are three power features, all in the `Rpc` module.
210
211	### Deferred responses
212
213	Section titled “Deferred responses”
214
215	A non-streaming handler may return an `Effect` that succeeds with a `Deferred<Success, Error>` instead of the value itself. The server keeps the request open and replies only when the deferred completes — useful for handing the response off to another fiber (a queue worker, a webhook callback, etc.) without blocking the handler fiber.

382
383	For already-decoded channels: returns an `RpcServer<Rpcs>` with `write(clientId, message)` and `disconnect(clientId)`, taking an `onFromServer` callback for decoded responses. This is the seam `RpcTest` builds on; you rarely call it directly.

413	* `disableFatalDefects` — when `true`, handler defects stay ordinary request exits instead of being sent as protocol-level defects.
414	* `disableTracing` — turn off per-request spans.

446	<excerpt>citeturn0search3 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: last week; Additional protocol layers: `layerProtocolWebsocket`, `layerProtocolSocketServer` (raw TCP), `layerProtocolStdio` (CLIs; for a Model Context Protocol server use `McpServer.layerStdio` from `effect/ai`, which builds on this RPC machinery — see Exposing an Effect Application over MCP), `layerProtocolWorkerRunner` (server half of a Worker). ... A late scheduler tick sends a ping before declaring silence, avoiding premature timeouts after event-loop stalls. `layerProtocolSocket({ onPingTimeout })` runs that no-error/no-services Effect on an open connection's timeout, before disconnect hooks and in-flight `SocketReadError` failures; hook defects are logged and ignored. ... CORS does not apply to WebSocket upgrades: validate `Origin` and authenticate during the upgrade, before any RPC message is accepted. ... On the client side, if the fiber writing a streaming request to the transport is interrupted, the local stream (or the queue returned with `{ asQueue: true }`) ends with that interruption instead of waiting forever for chunks that will never arrive.
447	WebSocket / socket \| authentication and `Origin` check at upgrade, heartbeat (the client pings and treats a missed pong as a connection failure), idle and maximum connection lifetime, reconnect and re-subscribe, ack-based flow control \| disconnect cleans up every in-flight handler; a reconnect does not double-apply a mutation
448	Worker \| the initial-message handshake, ownership of transferred buffers, pool bounds, worker death \| a crashed worker fails its calls instead of hanging them
449	stdio \| strict framing, stdout reserved for the protocol (log to stderr), draining stderr, child-process ownership \| a stray `console.log` in the server does not corrupt the stream
450
451	### Operational defaults
452
453	`RpcServer.layer`, `layerHttp`, and `make` share these options. Several defaults favor throughput over protection; choose each deliberately.
454
455	Option \| Default \| What it means
456	--- \| --- \| ---
457	`concurrency` \| `"unbounded"` \| Every request starts its handler immediately. A number creates one server-wide `Semaphore`, so at most that many handlers run and the rest wait for a permit.
458	`GetComp`); pass `spanPrefix: "RpcServer"` to restore the old `RpcServer.GetComp` form. Spans record `rpc.system.name: "effect_rpc"` and `rpc.method`. The socket, WebSocket, stdio, and worker protocols carry the caller's trace context in the RPC envelope.
459
460	Five mechanisms are easy to conflate and do not substitute for each other: handler concurrency (`concurrency`), stream acks (the client acknowledges each chunk, pacing a streaming handler — on the socket, WebSocket, stdio, and worker protocols, not HTTP), transport backpressure (`streamBufferSize`, the socket), JSON-RPC batching (several messages in one frame), and `RequestResolver` batching inside a handler (Caching and batching). A capacity plan names a finite value for each of: body and frame bytes (`maxFrameSize`, `maxBufferSize`, and `MaxBodySize` for HTTP), connections and their maximum lifetime, in-flight calls, per-principal rate, stream queue depth, a server-side deadline for every call and stream (`Effect.timeout` in the handler or a middleware — a browser tab that closes cannot be relied on to send `Interrupt`), and the shutdown drain. It also states the overload behavior in one word: reject, queue, shed, or close.
461
462	Request lifetime is request-owned: when the client interrupts a call, or an HTTP client disconnects, the server interrupts the matching handler fiber and its finalizers run. `Rpc.uninterruptible(effect)` opts a handler out — use it only for a short critical section, because cancellation is not rollback: a mutation interrupted halfway needs a transaction (SQL transactions), not a hopeful client.
463
464	Response-encoding failures are server failures too: the server records them on the RPC method span rather than silently losing observability after a successful handler. Keep the declared success Schema aligned with the actual value, and distinguish an encoding failure from a domain error or a client disconnect.
465
466	Reach for it when you are the callee and need to expose handlers over a real transport.
467
468	On the client side, if the fiber writing a streaming request to the transport is interrupted, the local stream (or the queue returned with `{ asQueue: true }`) ends with that interruption instead of waiting forever for chunks that will never arrive. A stream is not a durable job, a replay log, or an exactly-once channel: work that must outlive the call belongs in a workflow, and "reconnect and resume" is a feature you build with cursors, retention, re-authorization, and duplicate handling.
469
470	Reach for it when a procedure produces a sequence of values rather than a single result.
471
472	## RpcSerialization
473
474	`effect/rpc` — unstable
475
476	The pluggable wire format. `RpcSerialization` is a service describing how messages are framed and parsed; provide one of its layers and both client and server use it. Swapping formats is a single layer change with zero impact on contract or handlers.
477
478	Mental model. The contract decides what travels; serialization decides how it's encoded. Framed formats (NDJSON, SchemaBinary) can stream multiple messages over a long-lived connection; unframed JSON suits one-shot HTTP request/response.
479
480	## RpcMessage
481
482	`effect/rpc` — unstable
483
484	The protocol envelope types — messages that flow between client and server once payloads are wrapped for transport. Client-to-server: `Request`, `Ack`, `Interrupt`, `Eof`, `Ping`. Server-to-client: response exits, stream chunks, defects, `Pong`. Also defines branded `RequestId`.
485
486	Mental model. This is the language transports speak. `RpcClient`/`RpcServer` produce and consume these — but backpressure (`Ack`), cancellation (`Interrupt`), and end-of-stream (`Eof`) live here. Consult when writing a custom transport or debugging framing.
487
488	The `Request` envelope flows in both directions: a server protocol can originate requests to a connected client, and a request marked `isNotification` expects no reply — server-originated notifications are a first-class capability, not a transport hack. A protocol advertises the capability as `supportsNotifications`; the buffered (unframed `layerJson`/`layerJsonRpc`) HTTP protocol cannot deliver them and drops server notifications, because a single buffered response has nowhere to put them — use a framed serialization or a socket when the server must push.
489
490	A response `Exit`'s encoded `Interrupt` cause carries `fiberId: number \| null \| undefined` — a serializer or custom protocol that round-trips an interrupted exit must accept a `null` fiber id, not just a number.
491
492	Key APIs: Request, Ack, Interrupt, Eof, Ping, ResponseChunk, ResponseExit, RequestId
493
494	Reach for it when implementing a bespoke `Protocol` or reasoning about acks, interrupts, and stream framing at the wire level.

Restore .git on removal failure or interruption.

The WebSocket RPC request can be interrupted when the client disconnects. If recursive removal has already deleted .git, Effect.tapError does not run for that interruption. The worktree then remains without .git, and Git metadata cleanup is skipped.

Use exit-based cleanup so restoration runs on failure or interruption, but not after successful deletion.

Retries can delete tracked edits written after the one-time clean check.

The non-forced path runs git status once, then retries the recursive delete. The retry predicate skips only NotFound, so no tracked-status check runs between attempts. A provider process that is still exiting can write a tracked file after the check. A later retry can then delete that edit. The retry schedule extends this window from one attempt to the full retry duration.

Re-running the status check between attempts does not fix this. After an attempt deletes any tracked file, git status reports that file as changed. Once .git is removed, git status fails. Either result stops the retry that the Windows workflow needs. A correction must protect tracked content across the delete attempts, or wait until the provider process exits. Choosing between these needs a design decision, so no patch is proposed.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @ashx-j

Aashx-j11d ago

Claude Opus 5.5 writing on behalf of ash

Fixed both in ee21052eea.

The .git restore now uses Effect.onError, so it also runs when the request is interrupted between attempts.
Only a forced delete retries now (times: input.force ? OPEN_FILE_RETRIES : 0). A forced delete already discards edits, so a retry can't lose anything the caller kept. Thread deletion, the case in #27018, passes force: true (apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActions.ts). A non-forced delete makes 1 attempt, as before this PR.

CcoderabbitaiBot11d ago

@ashx-j The supplied code addresses both findings.

Effect.onError attempts to restore .git on failure or interruption. It leaves successful deletion unchanged and preserves the error mapping.
times: input.force ? OPEN_FILE_RETRIES : 0 limits retries to forced deletion. Non-forced deletion makes one attempt, so this PR no longer extends its deletion window.

I did not run tests.

5	Learning: In apps/server/src/storageCleanup.ts, the "Edited tracked files" policy (worktreeKeepWhen: "tracked-changes") intentionally authorizes deletion of untracked and ignored files with git clean before attempting worktree removal. Those deletions remain authorized if worktree removal fails. Do not require staging or rollback solely to make these operations atomic. Worktree removal must remain non-forced to protect tracked edits, and removal failures must be reported.

test(server): cover worktree retries with the test clock3915c64

Mmaria10d ago

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

updated the original branch at 953a94c110, preserving both contributor commits and merging current main without rebasing.

kept the forced-only windows retry, already-removed directory handling, and .git recovery. shortened the recovery comments and replaced the regression's wall-clock wait with the test clock. it now covers both retry outcomes.

two independent reviews found a cancellation race: node's in-flight fs.rm could remove .git after recovery restored it. each removal attempt now settles before recovery; retry waits stay interruptible. the new regression fails without that change with a missing .git, then passes with it. both reviewers approve the final head with no remaining findings.

verification through blacksmith: the two busy-deletion cases fail against main and pass with the fix. vp run check:changed github/main passes format, lint, knip, graphql, affected typechecks, and 216 tests across two existing files. all 28 reported ci checks pass. no new bot findings were posted during this run.

unverified: physical windows file handles and the client/provider deletion path on windows. there are no rendering changes; linux screenshots would not establish that behavior.

Keep deletion and Git cleanup uninterruptible.

After a Busy retry, an interrupted fileSystem.remove can still be running natively. Effect.onError can restore .git while that removal is active. The native removal can then delete the restored file, and the interruption skips input.run, leaving partial worktree contents and stale Git registration.

The normal storage-cleanup retry does not recover this state. It requires .git to be a file and returns not a linked worktree before calling removeLinkedWorktree. Wrap the filesystem retries and input.run in one uninterruptible operation.

test(server): drop an unneeded write override from the interrupted delete test9c7b151

JJulius Marminge8h ago

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof has no capture anyone can open:

Permanent environment blocker: the provided VM is Linux, while the changed deletion path is guarded by HostProcess.isWindows. No Windows runtime is available, and using another machine was prohibited.
Base failure and head success were not observed. Both boolean fields are false because neither outcome was demonstrated.
Automatic retry after provider-held files clear, checkout removal, Git registration removal, and metadata restoration after interruption remain unverified in the real app.
No captures or driver scripts were produced or uploaded. ghdrop upload was not invoked; there is no upload error output.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
