What Changed

Deleting a thread, directly or through project deletion, now queues a durable checkpoint.cleanup effect in the orchestration-v2 outbox that removes the thread's hidden checkpoint refs (refs/t3/orchestration-v2/checkpoints/...) from Git. Previously only rewinding a thread removed later checkpoint refs; deleting the thread left every ref behind in the user's repository.

  • The effect carries only its type. When it runs it reads the thread's checkpoint scopes, checkpoints, and project root from the projection, groups the refs by scope cwd, and always adds the project root as a target. A worktree shares its refs with the project repository and is often removed before the thread is, by storage cleanup or by hand. Ref names derive from the thread's own scope ids, so a repository that never held them deletes nothing and no other thread's refs can match.
  • Capture and cleanup share the thread's exclusive outbox lane, so a capture queued before the deletion commits its checkpoint before the cleanup reads. A capture that starts after deletion, including one retrying on backoff, returns without writing a ref.
  • The Git driver deletes with one update-ref --no-deref -z --stdin transaction per target instead of one process per ref, so a held packed-refs.lock costs about one second per target rather than one second per ref. Refs outside refs/t3/ are dropped before they reach Git, and a symbolic ref planted in our namespace is removed itself rather than dereferenced to a branch.
  • A failed delete retries through the outbox. When the last attempt also fails, usually on a held Git lock, the effect settles as succeeded and logs the refs it left behind. That is the state every deleted thread was in before this change, and it keeps the thread's worktree removal unblocked. A removed worktree is skipped by an explicit directory check; other detection failures retry.
  • Rollback keeps its best-effort stale-ref deletion. No new table, migration, startup sweep, or contract change.

Refs of threads deleted before this change and legacy v1 refs are out of scope.

Why

Addresses the thread-deletion cleanup proposed in #13263. Stale refs accumulate in Git revision graphs and slow every fetch and push.

Validation

  • Focused tests: cleanup service against real Git (grouping by scope cwd and project root, packed refs, idempotence, a ref recorded after the first run, a pruned thread, removed worktree through the project root, held lock fails then a retry finishes, namespace guard keeps refs/heads/* including through a symbolic ref), capture service (writes nothing for a deleted thread), worker (fails while a retry follows, settles on the last attempt), deletion planner, and project deletion.
  • Server typecheck and targeted lint pass.
  • Measured: a stale packed-refs.lock costs ~1.1 s per transaction regardless of ref count; 200 refs with core.fsync=reference delete in ~17 ms.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • UI screenshots are not applicable; this change is server-side only.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Thread deletion now queues cleanup of recorded checkpoint refs. The cleanup service removes refs from applicable Git repositories through the outbox. Checkpoint capture also returns without capturing when the thread has been deleted.

Changes

Thread checkpoint cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deleted-thread capture guard
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/CheckpointCaptureService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/CheckpointCaptureService.test.ts
The checkpoint capture context includes the thread deletion timestamp. Capture returns before checkpoint work when the timestamp is set.
Checkpoint-ref cleanup
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ResourceCleanupService.ts, apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriver.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/CheckpointService.ts, apps/server/src/server.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ResourceCleanupService.test.ts
The cleanup service reads recorded refs, targets scope directories and the project root, and attempts cleanup in each repository. Git filters invalid refs and deletes valid refs in one transaction. Tests cover target selection, deletion, retries, and failures. Stale-ref deletion logs Git process exit errors.
Thread deletion cleanup targets
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadDeletion.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadDeletion.test.ts, apps/server/src/project/ProjectService.deletion.test.ts
Thread deletion plans now include a checkpoint cleanup effect. Tests check the effect in thread and project deletion plans.
Cleanup effect execution and retries
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectOutbox.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectWorker.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/EffectWorker.test.ts, docs/internals/overview.md
The outbox accepts checkpoint cleanup effects and marks them replay-safe. The worker propagates cleanup failures when another attempt remains and logs and suppresses failures on the final attempt. The documentation describes the cleanup behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97537

The change is mergeable with awareness of a narrow failure case: a failed capture during deletion can leave a stale checkpoint ref that retains repository history.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97537

The change reduces leftover checkpoint data and restricts deletion through thread ownership and Git namespace controls. No introduced security issue was established in the inspected paths. Cleanup remains best effort, and some recovery and path-authority guarantees remain unconfirmed.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Deletion targets are the recorded checkpoint-scope working directories and the associated project's workspace root, including deleted projects. Each receives only the selected thread's recorded checkpoint refs. The project-root target supports cleanup when a worktree has already disappeared; cleanup does not enumerate unrelated repositories.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A capture can write a Git ref and fail before recording its checkpoint. Cleanup cannot discover that unrecorded ref, and a retry after deletion returns at the new guard. The external-write-before-projection window existed in the inspected base revision, which also lacked deletion cleanup; this remains a retention limitation rather than an established introduced attack path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Production capture obtains scopes through thread-keyed projection queries, checks the root node's scope identity, and derives checkpoint refs from the scope ID. These producer controls constrain cleanup ownership beyond the Git driver's broader refs/t3/ filter. Permissive ref schemas alone do not establish a reachable cross-thread deletion path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Cleanup treats a missing thread projection as successful no-op. Its ref-removal capability therefore depends on checkpoint records remaining available until execution. A durable owner for cleanup after projection pruning was not established, so successful effect settlement must not be interpreted as proof that retained checkpoint data was erased.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If complete checkpoint-data removal becomes a security requirement, preserve cleanup ownership independently of projection pruning and reconcile orphaned or exhausted cleanup work using thread/scope identity. Keep reconciliation constrained to the checkpoint namespace and non-dereferencing deletion.

🟠 Major · Make the checkpoint event handoff lossless before allowing… · CheckpointReactor.ts:1049-1057

apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/CheckpointReactor.ts:1049-1057
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make the checkpoint event handoff lossless before allowing drainThrough to pass.

CheckpointReactor.start initializes seenSequence from latestSequence before the stream callback enqueues events. The domain-event stream does not replay events committed before subscription. Therefore, drainThrough(create.sequence) can complete without processing the old thread.deleted event.

The cleanup then does not call deleteCheckpointRefs. Because checkpoint refs contain only the encoded thread ID and turn number, the recreated thread checks the same refs/t3/checkpoints/<threadId>/turn/0 ref. hasCheckpointRef finds the old commit, so the baseline handler returns without capturing the new baseline. A later turn-0 restore can therefore use the old incarnation’s checkpoint. If the new incarnation uses another workspace, the old refs still remain undeleted in the old repository.

Make the event handoff replay or buffer events from the subscription boundary, and update seenSequence only after each event has been enqueued. Then allow drainThrough to release only after all events through the requested sequence have entered the worker.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not use latestSequence as proof of event delivery.

Stream.fromPubSub subscribes only when the forked stream starts. If thread.deleted commits after snapshotSequence advances but before subscription, the event is not replayed. onStart then marks its sequence as seen without enqueueing cleanup. drainThrough can return with an empty worker.

The create fence in apps/server/src/ws.ts can therefore return before the deleted incarnation's checkpoint refs are removed. The new incarnation can find an old checkpointRefForThreadTurn(threadId, currentTurnCount) and reuse it as its baseline. Replace this watermark with a subscription-safe fence that atomically closes the subscription gap or replays all events through the captured head before advancing seenSequence.

🟡 Minor · Keep the deletion fence pending until checkpoint cleanup succeeds. · CheckpointReactor.ts:1045-1052

apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/CheckpointReactor.ts:1045-1052
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the deletion fence pending until checkpoint cleanup succeeds.

When Git cannot delete a locked checkpoint ref, processInputSafely logs the failure and its Effect.ensuring handler still removes the deletion sequence. ThreadDeletionReactor.drainThrough then releases reuse of the thread ID.

The recreated thread sees the old turn-0 ref. ensurePreTurnBaselineFromDomainTurnStart returns when that ref exists, so the new incarnation can compute later diffs against the old snapshot. Retry deleteCheckpointRefs and clear pendingDeletions only after cleanup succeeds.

Regarding the latest outside-diff finding (review 5295280031): the residual stale-ref scenario after failed cleanup is real, but retaining the pending deletion until Git succeeds is not acceptable for this PR. The existing creation barrier waits for earlier deletions across threads, so one persistent ref lock would hold subsequent thread creation indefinitely; retries would also occupy the shared checkpoint worker. Cleanup is intentionally best-effort, per the contributor requirement that this new maintenance operation must not become a liability. Failures are logged and the locked-ref regression test explicitly verifies that cleanup draining completes. We are retaining that behavior. Stronger isolation between incarnations after a failed cleanup would need separate design rather than an indefinitely pending fence.

The earlier startup-subscription finding has a small local fix and a regression test that fails before it and passes afterward. It is awaiting contributor approval and has not been pushed.

Given the major changes with the new orchestrator (#2829), I changed this PR to draft until I have a new solution I actually propose, since the underlying problem is not solved but the platform to do it is much better.

Deleting a thread left every checkpoint ref it had captured in the
user's repository forever. Nothing in orchestration-v2 removed them;
the only ref deletion was the rollback path trimming refs newer than a
restore target.

Thread deletion now queues a durable checkpoint.cleanup effect next to
the existing terminal and attachment cleanup. The planner lists the refs
the projection already records, grouped by scope cwd, and the effect
worker deletes them best-effort through ResourceCleanupService. A target
whose directory is gone or is not a repository is skipped. The outbox
supplies retries and replay after process loss, and storage cleanup
already waits for outbox effects before removing a thread's worktree, so
the refs are deleted while the cwd still exists.

…the last attempt

A per-ref `git update-ref -d` loop waits on a held packed-refs lock once per
ref, so 200 refs could hold a worker fibre for 200 seconds. One
`update-ref -z --stdin` transaction takes the lock once and exits in about a
second. Refs outside refs/t3/ are dropped before they reach the transaction.

A non-zero exit now fails the effect so the outbox retries it. When the last
attempt also fails the effect settles as succeeded and logs the refs it left
behind: that is the state every deleted thread was in before, and a failed
row would only block the thread's worktree removal. Rollback keeps its
best-effort stale-ref delete. A deferred retry is left as a follow-up.

…s checkpoint refs

A worktree shares refs with the project repository and is often removed
before its thread is deleted, by storage cleanup or by hand. Cleanup skipped
the missing directory and leaked every ref into the project repository.

The deletion plan now lists the project root as a target with every ref, next
to each scope cwd. Ref names derive from the thread's own scope ids, so a
repository that never held them deletes nothing and no other thread's refs
can match. Both deletion paths pass the root: project removal already holds
the row, and thread.delete looks it up.

…ies detection errors

A removed worktree is the expected miss and is skipped by an explicit
directory check. Any other detection failure, such as a Git timeout, now goes
through the outbox retry instead of settling silently on the first attempt.
When several repositories fail in one attempt, the extra failures are logged
rather than dropped behind the first.

The branch was rewritten on top of the new orchestrator (#2829); the previous walkthrough describes the superseded reactor implementation.

🟡 Medium orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts:9095

Deleting a thread after its project moves from root A to root B leaves checkpoint refs in A undeleted. workspaceRoot is resolved from the project's current row and planThreadDeletion therefore cleans only the missing worktree and B; checkpoint scopes retain only their worktree cwd, so A cannot be recovered. Persist the original shared repository root with the checkpoint scope or checkpoint metadata and use it during deletion.

Accepted as out of scope, with reasoning. The scope cwd target already covers the original repository whenever the thread's directory still exists, because a worktree's .git file points into the repository it was created from, not into the project's current root. The leak needs three things at once: a worktree thread, its worktree already removed, and the project root changed to a different repository afterwards. The refs then sit in a repository the project no longer points at, which is the pre-existing behaviour for every deleted thread. Persisting the repository root on every checkpoint scope would add a contracts and projection change for that corner, and this PR deliberately stays free of schema changes.

…t refs

Git deletes the target of a symbolic ref by default, so a symbolic ref
planted under refs/t3/ could have deleted a branch. The transaction now runs
with --no-deref and removes the symbolic ref itself.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A capture queued before the thread was deleted still runs afterwards, because
a cancelled run keeps its checkpoint as the rollback point for the next
message. The cleanup effect carried the refs known when deletion was planned,
so that final ref was never deleted.

The effect now carries only its type and reads the thread's scopes,
checkpoints, and project root when it executes, after any capture queued
ahead of it in the thread's lane. A capture that starts after deletion writes
nothing. The planner, orchestrator, and project service no longer need the
checkpoint rows or the project root, and the outbox row shrinks to a tag.
