Problem

Changes totals and review previews put every untracked file into a temporary intent-to-add index before running git diff --numstat. A single sparse crash dump can therefore make background Git read terabytes of logical input despite occupying only a few disk blocks. Output limits do not bound those reads. Refs #25558; additional live evidence and a synthetic reproducer are in the linked issue comment.

Change

Preflight untracked paths with lstat before preparing the review index: at most 10 MiB per file and 64 MiB total. Preserve ordinary files, symlinks and nested repositories, and keep the real index untouched. Skip oversized or unavailable inputs; retain the existing incomplete-preview behavior and omit unavailable branch totals rather than returning partial totals as complete. A metadata request with omitted inputs falls back to the bounded patch so normal edits remain reviewable.

This only bounds the untracked input introduced by the review index. It does not change tracked-file review, checkpoint/restore behavior, crash-dump generation, or process resource limits.

Scope and approval

This is a small, focused reliability fix for an obvious unbounded-input defect in the shared server Git driver. It reuses the existing file-count cap's incomplete-result behavior and adds no setting, contract or client workflow. Submitted under the focused obvious-bug exception in CONTRIBUTING.md. The linked issue establishes the same missing byte bound; no maintainer approval is claimed.

Verification

On base 4c3a9d58184f20bd76833bd599c3544d2c09e3eb, both new regression tests fail before the content-reading Git command because the oversized entries are present in its temporary index. With this patch, both pass. Fixtures use sparse files and assertions on the actual Git index, not timing thresholds.
The regression covers the per-file limit, aggregate limit, later small files, symlinks to large files, selected-file previews, incomplete metadata/totals, and preservation of the real index.
vp test run apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts -t "bounds (untracked review input|aggregate untracked input)": 2 passed after the fix.
vp run check:changed --concurrency 1: all steps passed: format, lint, both Knip checks, GraphQL check, affected typechecks (3 packages), and 242 tests across the Git driver and agent-context budget test files. Full repository tests/build remain CI's responsibility.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at ecf6ecd

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Untracked review inputs are now bounded by file and aggregate size, with incomplete previews explicitly marked. The change uses the existing disposable-index path and does not alter repository contents.

Walkthrough

The VCS driver limits untracked review inputs to 256 MiB and reports when it omits paths. Mobile and web review interfaces display omission notices and adjust totals messaging. A regression test covers oversized untracked files.

Changes: Untracked review inputs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded untracked scan and totals `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts`	The driver measures untracked paths and skips paths that would exceed the combined 256 MiB limit. It records omissions and returns no temporary index when every path is skipped. Branch-change totals are unavailable when indexing is unavailable or paths were omitted.
Omission metadata and notices `packages/contracts/src/review.ts`, `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/review/reviewModel.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/review/useReviewDiffData.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/review/ReviewSheet.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/DiffPanel.tsx`	Review source metadata carries `untrackedOmitted` for working-tree and branch-range previews. Mobile and web interfaces display omission notices. Totals messaging no longer claims to include all changes when untracked paths were omitted.
Omission regression coverage `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.test.ts`	The test checks that metadata-only previews omit an oversized file while listing eligible entries. It also checks status totals and an explicitly selected oversized file.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Explanation

The description includes complete Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections with detailed reproduction, scope, tests, and results. However, it incorrectly states that there are no UI changes, while the changeset updates mobile and web review notices. It also omits the required before/after UI screenshots.

Omit paths when lstat fails.
If a path disappears after ls-files, the scan assigns it zero size and passes it to git add --intent-to-add. If it remains missing, Git can fail the preview instead of marking the path omitted.

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

the reviewers still had findings after 3 rounds (the work is on https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/compare/main...fix/bound-untracked-review-input):

[major] apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts:3184: Worse than main: byte accounting includes staged deletions that prepareReviewIndex subsequently excludes from pathsToAdd. These unused inputs can exhaust the budget and hide ordinary untracked edits. Confirmed with both head and origin/main driver implementations: main includes ordinary.txt and reports 599,186 insertions; head omits ordinary.txt and leaves branchChanges unset. Exclude staged deletions before applying the byte budget. Fails with: A developer stops tracking a large asset: commit large.data, run git rm --cached large.data, leave its worktree copy at 250 MiB, then create ordinary.txt containing approximately 8 MiB of text. Because large.data sorts first, it consumes 250 MiB of the 256 MiB budget despite never being added to the review index; ordinary.txt is skipped. Web, desktop, and mobile reviews lose that file.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Preserve the unavailable state in the Changes row.

When an untracked path is omitted, readStatusDetailsLocal converts this error to an absent branchChanges. resolveChangesTotals then displays working-tree counts instead. A branch with committed changes and no tracked working-tree edits can therefore show +0 −0, with no omission notice. Propagate the unavailable state to the consumer and suppress or qualify the fallback counts. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
