New worktree threads are slow on Mac. On T3 Code's own repo (31,741 files), git worktree add takes about 1.6 s because it writes every file, and the first git status in the new worktree takes another 1–1.6 s because its index is racy and Git re-reads everything.

Now, as an opt-in Labs beta, T3 keeps a few recent checkouts of each repo in the T3 home caches folder and clones new worktrees from them with APFS copy-on-write. Creating a worktree is about twice as fast, and the first status is about 6× faster. Any case the cache can't reproduce exactly uses git worktree add, as before.

M4 Pro, 31,741 files, median of 5	createWorktree	First `git status`
Stock `git worktree add`	1,592 ms	1,035–1,636 ms
Cache at the same commit	893 ms	201 ms
Cache 10–50 commits older	~1,060 ms	~230 ms

How it works

After a worktree is created, a background build caches its tree: Git writes it into a private folder, and T3 records the files' stat data in a copy of the index.
To create a worktree, T3 registers it with git worktree add --no-checkout and clones the cached files with macOS clonefile(2), through ffi-rs, which the server already ships. Then it rewrites the index stat data so Git trusts the clones without reading them. If the cache is at an older commit, read-tree -m -u writes only the changed files. The post-checkout hook still runs.
These cases use stock checkout:
- a worktree on another volume
- a changed checkout config or attributes fingerprint
- sparse checkouts
- attributes that name a filter (such as LFS)
- .gitattributes changes between the cached tree and the target
- case-only name clashes
- a post-index-change hook the checkout provides
- cache files or folders that changed since the build
- Git older than 2.42
Each repo keeps at most 3 entries. Repos unused for 30 days are dropped.

Settings → Labs → Fast worktree checkout is off by default and shows only for macOS servers. It is a per-machine setting, and turning it off deletes the cache. On mobile, Labs lists each connected Mac with its own switch, the same way it lists linked environments. Other platforms never touch the cache.

This is not the earlier APFS clone attempt in #12631. That one cloned only eligible files and refreshed the index through Git, so it was slower than stock checkout. Rewriting the index stat data is what makes this version faster.

The setting is a new row in Labs → Beta, next to the other beta switches. Before, the row did not exist.

Proof

vp run check:changed passes.
worktreeCheckoutCache.test.ts and gitIndexStat.test.ts (18 tests) pass repeatedly on Linux, with cp -a standing in for clonefile, and on macOS with the real clonefile. Each fallback case has a test that fails without its guard.
Benchmarked through the real GitVcsDriver.createWorktree on an M4 Pro.
Created worktree threads end to end through an isolated dev server on that Mac, using the Replay provider. The server trace shows GitManager.createWorktree at 1.89 s for the first one, then 0.84–0.92 s.

Reviewed with sol-loop: 5 passes with GPT-6.1 Sol. Sol verdict: changes requested on two narrow cases in pass 5 (a filter driver named unset, and a hook added through a symlinked hooks folder). Both are fixed as Sol suggested; that fix has not had another review pass.

🟡 Medium settings/useAvailableSettingsSearchItems.ts:37

With a supported Mac selected and an unsupported Linux server also connected, the fast-checkout search result disappears even though FastCheckoutRow is available in that scope. This .every() checks all connected environments instead of the selected settings scope; use scope-aware availability for sidebar search and an any-supported-environment check for global search.

Fixed in the latest push. Settings search now shows Fast checkout when any connected machine reports the capability. The row itself still appears only for a settings scope where every selected machine supports it.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change adds opt-in macOS worktree caching with normal Git fallback. Two new modules disable the nodeBuiltinImport static-analysis diagnostic at file scope, which requires human review.

Walkthrough

Adds a macOS fast worktree checkout setting and a cache-backed checkout path. The cache can reuse compatible checkouts, update Git index stat data, and fall back to normal Git checkout when checks do not allow reuse. Settings controls expose the option only for environments that advertise support.

Changes: Fast worktree checkout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Setting and availability `packages/contracts/src/settings.ts`, `packages/contracts/src/environment.ts`, `apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts`, `apps/server/src/config.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderReplayHarness.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/settings/ThreadSettingsSections.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/features/settings/settings-search.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/settings/LabsSettingsPanel.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/settings/useAvailableSettingsSearchItems.ts`, `docs/user/project-settings.md`	Adds the default-false server setting and advertises the capability on macOS. Derives a cache directory and adds mobile and web settings controls, search availability, and documentation.
Clone and index primitives `apps/server/src/vcs/CheckoutCloner.ts`, `apps/server/src/vcs/gitIndexStat.ts`, `apps/server/src/vcs/gitIndexStat.test.ts`	Adds an optional macOS `clonefile` service and Git index parsing and stat-update helpers. Tests cover index validation, restatting, and rejection cases.
Checkout cache creation and lifecycle `apps/server/src/vcs/worktreeCheckoutCache.ts`, `apps/server/src/vcs/worktreeCheckoutCache.test.ts`	Adds cache compatibility checks, cached checkout and cache building, cleanup, retention, and generation tracking. Integration tests cover checkout equivalence and cases that use Git instead.
Worktree creation integration `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts`, `apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts`, `apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts`	Connects the cache and cloner to worktree creation, passes the fast-checkout setting to Git, schedules cache builds, and clears the cache when the setting is disabled.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a perf improvement for macOS worktree creation by cloning a cached checkout. The changeset adds a macOS-only worktree checkout cache that uses clonefile, which matches the title. The title states a measured speedup (2x), which the PR description supports with benchmark data. The title follows the conventional commit format the template recommends.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections (Problem, Change, Scope and approval, Verification), but it does not fill in the required 'Scope and approval' section. It has no triaged issue or maintainer-approval discussion link, and it does not explain why the change qualifies without one. It instead links to a prior PR (#12631), which is not an approval. The Problem section is clear and specific. The Change section explains the mechanism. The Verification section lists tests, benchmarks, and an end-to-end run. The template's 'Scope and approval' requirement for a new Labs setting and a new capability is unmet. The description also includes a note that a review-pass fix was not re-reviewed, which is useful context.

Resolution

Add a 'Scope and approval' section. Link the triaged bug issue or the discussion with explicit maintainer approval of the direction and scope, including the approval comment. The new Labs setting and the new macOS cache are broader behavior changes, so the template does not exempt them from this requirement. Keep the existing Problem, Change, and Verification content. Add a heading for the 'Scope and approval' section that matches the template.

Build error attributes from structured data, not from a stringified cause.
WorktreeCheckoutCacheError has only a detail string. touch, statEntries and directoryTimes put ${cause} into that string, and the class returns detail as its message. The repository rules forbid this: "The message is fixed or built from those attributes, never from cause, cause.message, or a stringified defect. No detail field that copies cause.message." The rules also require "An error that wraps a failure keeps the immediate underlying error as cause."
These errors are logged through Effect.logWarning and ignoreCause({ log: true }). As a result, raw platform error text reaches the logs, and the original error object is lost.
Add operation and path attributes and an optional cause: Schema.Defect(). Build a fixed message from operation and path.
As per coding guidelines: "Failures are Schema.TaggedError classes with structured attributes … The message is fixed or built from those attributes, never from cause."

The search gate does not match FastCheckoutRow for a connected environment without serverConfig.

FastCheckoutRow reads connectedEnvironments from useSettingsScope. That set uses isConnectedWithConfig, so it excludes an environment whose connection.phase is "connected" while its serverConfig is still null (scopedSettings.ts:52-56). This hook keeps such an environment. Its serverConfig?.…fastWorktreeCheckout === true check is then false, so the whole flag becomes false.

The result: if one Mac is fully loaded and a second environment is connected but has no config yet, the row shows and the "Fast checkout" search item does not. The comment on line 31 says the two gates match. Use the same predicate in both places.

Already fixed in 70a299e. The search gate now uses some over connected machines that report the capability, so a connected machine without a config yet no longer hides the result.

@t3dotgg Thanks. The some check prevents a connected environment without a config from hiding the search result.

Backdate cached directories before recording their mtimes.

On a filesystem with coarse timestamps, a file added soon after the build can leave its directory’s recorded mtime unchanged. directoriesUnchanged can then accept the cache, and restatIndex cannot detect the extra file. The clone can include that file, and the fallback test can fail.

Proposed fix

Fixed in 39b5f75629. Builds now backdate every recorded cache folder before reading its time, so a later addition moves the time on any filesystem. The "file was added to the cache" test went back to a plain write, and it passes repeatedly on Linux and macOS.

@t3dotgg Thanks. I checked 39b5f75629: the cache directories are backdated before their mtimes are recorded, and the added-file test uses a plain write.

I did not run the tests.

Fix the grammar in the fallback sentence.

"on another drive than the T3 home directory" is not correct English. Use "on a different drive from the T3 home directory". Wrap the line to match the line width of the paragraph.

Make the search result lead to a visible Fast checkout row.

If a supported macOS environment and an unsupported environment are both selected, some offers “Fast checkout,” but FastCheckoutRow requires every selected connected environment to support it. Selecting the result leaves the scope unchanged, so the destination has no Fast checkout row. Make search availability follow the selected scope, or select a supported environment when opening this result. Keep the result available when the user selects the macOS environment alone.

Keeping some. An earlier review on this line asked for the opposite: with every, a Mac plus a Linux server hides the result even though the row is one machine-picker change away. Search on main no longer carries a machine scope (the scopeSearch parameter was removed), so the result cannot pick the Mac for the user. Worktree location handles a mixed scope the same way: its row hides for unsupported machines, and its search entry has no gate at all. In a mixed selection, the user narrows the machine picker to the Mac.

CcoderabbitaiBot3d ago

@t3dotgg Understood. Keeping some makes Fast checkout discoverable when a supported environment is connected. In a mixed scope, the user can select the Mac to show the row. I’ll withdraw the suggestion.

Declining. The result already stays available across machines: hasFastWorktreeCheckoutEnvironment is true when any connected Mac reports the capability (useAvailableSettingsSearchItems.ts), so filtering does not depend on the selected machine. When the selected scope includes a non-Mac, the row stays hidden on purpose because only macOS servers honor the setting. The other machine-specific Labs rows have no eligible-machine notice either. Adding a scope-switch notice for this one beta row is new UI that the request does not need.

CcoderabbitaiBot2d ago

@t3dotgg Understood. The search result remains available when a connected Mac supports the feature, and hiding the row for an unsupported selected machine is intentional. I withdraw the request for a scope-switch notice.

Detect cache edits that preserve mtime and size
If a cached file changes in place and retains its original mtime and size, restatIndex accepts the clone and records its new ctime. For an older file mtime, Git can then report the new worktree as clean despite its incorrect contents. Detect this change before trusting the clone, and fall back to Git.

Declining both items from this review.

ctime check in restatIndex. This change would turn off the fast path. A clone is a new inode, so its ctime is always the clone time. It never equals the ctime that the cache index recorded for the cached file. With the suggested check, create would reject every clone. The verify step keeps the mtime and size checks. The folder mtime records catch files that were added or removed. To edit a cached file and keep its size and mtime, a process must write into the private cache folder and then reset the mtime with utimes. To catch that, every cached file would need a second lstat, which costs about as much time as the clone saves.

"Scope and approval" description section. That template section is for outside contributions. This PR is from a maintainer, and all 33 checks pass on 7685d23.
