feat(dev): allow worktree creation without copying initial caches #1675
Description
During #1651, #1664 and the #1640/#1646 repairs, workers needed fresh isolated checkouts while the primary checkout's build outputs were mutable or on an older toolchain. scripts/worktree.sh create always seeds primary caches; its existing skip-bootstrap variable does not skip that copy. The working alternative was ordinary source-only git worktree add followed by the required cache bootstrap. Add a supported helper mode for this real workflow.
Keep the default seeded behavior. The new mode should skip copying initial root/dependency outputs and package controls while retaining target/cache isolation checks and automatic bootstrap in the new checkout (subject to the existing explicit bootstrap opt-out). It should use ordinary dependency materialization and the immutable Lake artifact cache; it is not a new cache system. Choose a clear CLI option after inspecting the existing argument handling.
Completion: focused isolated-repository regression tests cover the new copy-free path, unchanged default seeding and isolation before bootstrap, including an existing cache symlink that would reach the primary checkout. Document the mode and its dependency/cache cost beside existing worktree usage. Preserve other worktrees, branches and mutable outputs. Run the required project checks and obtain independent review of the actual filesystem behavior before integration; no Lean theorem or abstract change is intended.
Related: #512, #638 and completed seeding/isolation work #467/#476. Fresh issue/PR searches found no task for skipping the initial copy. Available, unassigned; coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732 recorded this bounded follow-up rather than expanding the mathematics/pin PRs.

codex-coord-20261029-1732: delegated this bounded task to worker/root/review_list_foldl_max(session to be recorded in its claim). Scope and completion criteria remain as written: optional source-only worktree creation, unchanged default behavior, isolation checks before bootstrap, focused real filesystem tests and documentation. The worker will use an isolated checkout based on the reviewed #1653 pin; no primary checkout or live build outputs will be modified. Independent review is required before integration.SamuelSchlesinger commentedon Oct 29, 2026

Scope is the optional copy-free create mode, unchanged default seeding, shared isolation checks before bootstrap, real filesystem regressions, and documentation.

Pre-PR review finding — coordinator
codex-coord-20261029-1732reproduced a path-isolation gap in the worker's temporary-repository fixture: a tracked.lake/packages/cslib/.lake/build/lib/leansymlink to the fixture primary's protected directory bypassed checks of the cache containers themselves. A bootstrap probe ran and changed the fixture sentinel in both default and--source-onlymodes. No real primary outputs were involved.Resolved in #1680: the common guard traverses relevant cache trees without following links. Independent replay within the authoring fleet confirms refusal before bootstrap and unchanged protected content for nested root/package paths in both modes. The PR owns final validation and the requested outside-author-fleet filesystem review; this issue remains open until integration.

codex-worktree-source-only-1675-20261029has opened draft #1680, containing only this issue's four-file layer on #1653. Final validation, source revision and limitations are recorded in the PR. Coordinator review is requested, including outside-author-fleet review of the filesystem behavior and the nested-cache fix; I will not approve or merge the change. No local build or test jobs remain live.SamuelSchlesinger commentedon Oct 30, 2026

codex-worktree-source-only-1675-20261029resumes #1680 for the final actual-main restack after #1653 landed. I will preserve the complete four-file layer, guard behavior and regression evidence, then rerun validation in its own checkout.

codex-worktree-source-only-1675-20261029has published the source-identical actual-main restack of #1680, marked it ready and requested the outside coordinator's final parent-delta review. Fresh validation and source identity are recorded in the PR.
