* perf(worktree): batch remote conflict probes, re-arm the prepared checkout
A repo with many remotes paid one `git show-ref --verify` subprocess per
remote on every branch-conflict check during create. Ask one
`git cat-file --batch-check` over stdin instead; it reports a missing ref
as data rather than a failed exit, so a batch stays as decidable as the
per-ref probe. Hosts that cannot feed stdin, and undecided batches, still
fall back to the per-ref path.
The prepared checkout was single-use, so the second create in a row paid
the full cold `git worktree add`. Re-arm it in the background after one is
consumed; the existing TTL and preparation limit still bound it.
The create timing recorder existed but its phases were never emitted and
did not cover preflight, leaving a multi-second gap in the trace with no
attribution. Add `resolve_name`/`prepare_push_target` phases and record the
breakdown, plus the unattributed remainder, on the create span.
* fix(worktree): format the conflicting review number eagerly for the create error
* perf(worktree): re-arm a prepared checkout only for a burst of creates
Re-arming after every consumed preparation spends a full checkout and
~200MB of disk on a user who created one worktree and stopped, then pays
an unexplained delete when the TTL expires five minutes later. Track when
each preparation key was last consumed and only replace it when a second
create lands inside the burst window, so the warm second create is still
free and an isolated create costs nothing.
* fix(worktree): address review findings on the create-path batching
Three findings from PR review:
The `batched.found` fallback in the remote-conflict probe was unreachable
— a present ref is decisive, so `found` never survives with `unknown`
set, and the guard above already returns that case.
`rearmPreparation` checked for an existing preparation before recording
the consume, so a prefetch that re-armed the key while create finalized
swallowed the timestamp and made the next create look isolated when it
was really mid-burst.
Create runs some phases concurrently, so summing phase durations
double-counted overlap and understated `unattributed_ms` — the one
number that matters when a create is slow for no visible reason. Measure
the union of the phase intervals instead.
* refactor(worktree): move stale-preparation cleanup into its own module
The preparation module crossed the 300-line budget. Crash recovery is a
separate concern from the pool itself — it discards preparations another
process left registered, single-flighted per repo and runtime so a burst
of arming calls shares one worktree listing.
* test(worktree): make the re-arm test able to fail
The burst test armed a preparation manually after the second consume, so
the third checkout appeared whether or not the re-arm produced it — the
assertion passed with re-arming disabled. Drop that arming call so the
third checkout can only come from the re-arm, and assert the consume
results rather than discarding them.
* perf(git): bound git subprocess execution with an atomic admission scheduler
Field traces (#16038, #11363) show Windows freeze storms driven by unbounded
concurrent git children (12+ at once, 50-65s status convoys for 25+ minutes).
Admit every main-process git child against atomic per-budget base+headroom
counters (general / network / per-route), with reserved interactive capacity,
ordering-only aging, close-bound permit release, a 120s fail-safe read timeout
that feeds scheduler backoff, tier plumbing through every option carrier, and
coalesced+jittered visibility pollers. Killswitch: ORCA_GIT_ADMISSION_DISABLED=1.
Storm harness A/B: max concurrent children 65 -> 6, interactive p95 791ms -> 88ms;
output-parity battery byte-identical with admission on vs off.
* test(git): run the admission output-parity battery on every platform
Parity needs real git, not the storm harness's PATH stub, so it must not share
that file's POSIX gate - Windows is the platform where parity evidence matters.
* fix(git): preserve interactive admission invariants
* perf(git): keep admission queue drains linear
* fix(git): close final admission gaps
* perf(git): bound eligible route selection
* fix(merge): remove unrelated stale snapshot changes
* fix(git): preserve refresh lifecycle authority
* test(git): align admission lifetime contracts
* fix(git): harden admission across runtime paths
* fix(git): restore freshness for bulk status reads
* test(git): repoint delete-dialog source pins after admission plumbing
The hydration effect now orders its targets through
orderDeleteWorktreeStatusHydrationTargets and passes includeLineStats
alongside the abort signal, so both literal anchors stopped matching.
The invariants are unchanged and still pinned: dropping the signal, the
main-worktree/folder filter, or getState-instead-of-subscribe each
still reddens this test.
* Fix git admission tier propagation and lock ordering
Decode optional Git status tiers permissively and default runtime RPC status reads to the status lane while preserving renderer caller intent.
Acquire the FETCH_HEAD mutex before atomic admission so same-repository fetch waiters hold no global or route permits.
Preserve automatic pull-request refresh reasons, keep explicit hosted-review refreshes interactive, remove the dead candidate tier, and keep relay scheduling unchanged.
Use tier-aware status lease keys because a shared lease cannot be safely promoted after its admission request is queued or granted.
* test: align expectations with admission plumbing
* refactor(child-process): move the process contract types to process-spec
run-process.ts crossed its line cap after gaining the termination observer;
the public types and defaults move out with re-exports so no caller changes.
* chore: restore pnpm-lock.yaml to main (unintended local drift)

* fix(ports): stop joining an undefined resourcesPath on a non-Electron host
`resolveWorkerEntryPath` branched on `isPackaged` alone and joined
`process.resourcesPath`. orcad reports `isPackaged` true — correctly, it is a
production build, and ~15 consumers read it that way to gate HTTPS-only skill
downloads and the real CLI name — but `process.resourcesPath` is Electron-only
and `undefined` under plain Node.
So the packaged branch threw
`TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string`
where a clean "worker unavailable" was the honest outcome. The type said
`resourcesPath: string`, which is how it went unnoticed; it is now
`string | undefined`, so the compiler carries the fact.
A host with no Electron resources tree has no asar to look in, so it falls back
to the module directory and lets the caller report a missing worker.
Found by the item 1 agent while auditing the same `isPackaged` defect class in
the watcher. Verified in both directions: reverting the guard reproduces the
TypeError.
* feat(orcad): prove node-pty loads before anything requires it
Of the two ways node-pty fails, only one is catchable. A missing module throws
MODULE_NOT_FOUND. A module built against the wrong libc or Node ABI is refused by
the dynamic loader, and in the worst case takes the process down before any handler
exists — that is #9902, which crashed the desktop app on Ubuntu 20.04 before a
window appeared. There was no libc or ABI precondition anywhere in the tree.
So orcad now proves the load in a CHILD process, from main.ts, before anything
requires node-pty. Whatever the child does — throw, abort, die on a signal — is data
rather than our own death, and the operator gets a sentence naming the host's libc,
Node ABI and prebuild slot plus the command to run. Proven-unloadable exits 78
(EX_CONFIG), so a supervisor does not restart an unequippable host forever. A probe
that never answered is unverifiable, not blocked: refusing to boot on an inconclusive
signal would take down hosts that work.
The child dlopens the file node-pty would have chosen, before requiring the package.
node-pty's loader walks several directories and rethrows only the LAST error, so a
refused binary reads as "Cannot find module ./prebuilds/..." — which sends the
operator to install a module that is already there. It also reports through stdout:
node echoes the whole -e source above a stack trace, and matching tokens against
stderr made the probe's own source text answer for the verdict.
Verdicts reach clients as a terminal_unavailable degradation alongside the existing
browser_unavailable one, through the same cause-registry shape. degradations[].code
is now an open vocabulary; clients already render only `message`.
Prebuilds are compiled from PATCHED sources — the patch IS the glibc-floor fix, so an
upstream tarball reproduces #9902 — into linux-{x64,arm64}-{glibc,musl} and
darwin-{x64,arm64} slots. libc is in the slot name because node-pty's loader falls
back to prebuilds/<platform>-<arch> and cannot tell glibc from musl. orcad installs
the matching slot at boot, so a host with no compiler serves terminals.
The relay's five pure toolchain-diagnosis functions moved to a transport-free module
so the Node bundle can reuse them without dragging ssh2 in behind them; the relay
keeps its API by re-export. macOS gets `xcode-select --install` rather than the
cross-distro apt/dnf/pacman/apk menu, every line of which is wrong there.
* test(orcad): pin the node-pty precondition to ground truth, not a prepared host
CI's test shard runs `vitest` directly, so `ensure-native-runtime --runtime=node`
never prepares node-pty for the Node ABI — `degraded` is the correct verdict
there, and asserting 'ok' encoded an environment the shard does not have.
Asserting whatever it returned would be vacuous, so the expectation is now
derived from an independent require() of node-pty. Verified it still bites:
forcing the precondition to always report 'ok' fails the suite.
* feat(orcad): run the terminal daemon, and the ops contract around it
orcad declared `canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys: () => false` because it did not
run the terminal daemon, so every restart, update and rollback SIGKILLed every
running terminal — on the host whose selling point is that work survives the
client going away. That is the one property `ssh-execution-boundary.md`
recommends the peer model for.
Item 4 — the daemon:
- Port the launch path off electron: `daemon-init.ts`,
`daemon-host-relocation.ts` and `observability/logs-directory.ts` now read
the `AppEnvironment` port. Relocation additionally asks whether the app root
is an asar archive rather than whether the build is packaged, so a Node host
answering `isPackaged() === true` no longer walks into an Electron-only
NSIS-escape path (same precedent as `parcel-watcher-entry-path.ts`).
- `build-orcad.mjs` emits `daemon-entry.js` beside `orcad.js`, scans the
forked children's metafiles for electron/node:sqlite, and load-checks the
child under plain Node.
- orcad spawns and adopts the daemon; shutdown disconnects and never kills it.
`canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys` now reads the live provider and is false
under degraded routing, where fresh terminals would die with the process.
Item 3 — the ops contract (docs/reference/orcad-operations.md):
- Bind policy: `--bind`, default loopback, pinned so neither `orca serve`'s
wide default nor the connected-device widen can override it, and so a paired
client cannot rebind the listener from outside.
- Instance lock on the data root before profile load, scoped to the runtime
role so it never refuses a restart that a live daemon makes worthwhile.
- Supervision: exit codes a supervisor can act on (78 = do not retry),
second-signal escalation, a shutdown deadline, and crash-loop containment on
daemon respawn.
- Health in the readiness payload: build hash, Node ABI, and a PTY self-test
that spans both processes — the daemon spawns a real PTY in its own process
and the verdict crosses its socket.
Both bundle load-checks now assert on exit codes: these bundles are minified
onto one line, so Node's uncaught-exception report echoes every string literal
in the bundle and the previous message match passed against a bundle that
never loaded.
* feat(orcad): deploy, activate and roll back a versioned orcad install
Plan items 6 and 7 from docs/design/shipping-orcad.html.
Install reuses the relay's transaction verbatim — per-version lock, staged
SFTP write, .install-complete sentinel, stale-lock recovery — under a
parameterized namespace, so orcad-<v>/ sits beside relay-<v>/ permanently
(§06). Parameterizing GC is the trap that creates: each model now collects
only its own directories, enforced twice (prefix-scoped remote listing plus
a local ownership re-check), and a client picks its model from how the host
is registered, never from what it finds on disk.
Activation is separate from installation, because a versioned directory
selects nothing. A candidate is launched, publishes orca_server_ready, and
only becomes active if its cross-process health payload passes: right build
hash, listening, daemon live, PTY self-test green. A rejected candidate is
stopped and the incumbent restarted, so a careful deploy cannot cause the
outage it was being careful about.
Update and rollback are shaped by the daemon. An update restarts orcad, the
daemon outlives it, and the surviving daemon was forked from the outgoing
bundle — so live terminals defer the update rather than proceed, and GC pins
the active version, the rollback target and the live daemon's bundle. Orca's
persisted state carries no schema version, so rollback restores a
pre-activation snapshot rather than trusting backward-readability; the point
past which it is unsafe is the first terminal created after activation,
which the snapshot cannot describe and the surviving daemon still owns.
Running the generated shell for real found two bugs the text assertions
missed: tar members re-quoted inside a shell variable captured nothing, and
kill -0 reports a zombie as alive.
* test(orcad): assert the precondition is self-consistent, not environment-shaped
The real-host case cannot predict a status: CI's shard runs vitest directly, so
node-pty is never built for the Node ABI and 'degraded' is correct there, while a
prepared checkout gives 'ok'.
The previous attempt used require('node-pty') as ground truth, which resolves the
JS wrapper while the native binding loads lazily — it proved strictly less than
the precondition checks, and failed CI for exactly that reason.
What is invariant on a host with node-pty installed: never 'blocked', and never a
degraded verdict carrying an unestablished reason. The injected-input tests keep
the logic coverage.
* fix(orcad): drop an eslint-disable the rule no longer needs
* test(orcad): separate slot placement from the load verdict
Both remaining CI failures were the same shape: tests reaching into node_modules
for a pty.node that only exists after `ensure-native-runtime --runtime=node`,
which CI's shard never runs because it invokes vitest directly.
Slot *placement* is the logic worth checking on every host, so it now uses a
synthetic payload and asserts the verdict stays honest about not loading. The
three assertions that genuinely need a Node-ABI binding are gated on it existing.
Verified: breaking slot installation fails both placement tests; with the real
pty.node hidden the file is 17 passed / 3 skipped instead of ENOENT.
* test(orcad): gate the load-dependent cases on a real load, not on the file existing
CI ships a pty.node built for Electron's ABI, so existsSync was true while require
still failed — the gate ran exactly the tests that host can never satisfy. It now
probes the binding in a child process, so a bad one cannot take the runner down.
The self-consistency assertion also allowed too little: 'blocked' is the honest
verdict for a corrupt binding, alongside 'ok' on a prepared host and 'degraded' on
an unprepared one. What stays invariant is that anything other than 'ok' names an
established cause, so a terminal is never declined for a reason nobody worked out.
Verified against all three host states: prepared (19 passed), unprepared, and a
corrupt binding (17 passed / 3 skipped, no failures).
* test(orcad): gate on the whole premise — binding AND spawn-helper
CI has a loadable pty.node but no spawn-helper, and a slot without the helper is
legitimately 'degraded'. So the previous gate let a test run whose premise ('a
complete slot yields ok') that host cannot satisfy.
Verified in both states: with the helper present 19 pass; with it removed the
load-dependent cases skip (17 passed / 3 skipped) instead of failing.
* fix(orcad): preserve degradation types after rebase
Enable eleven oxlint rules that simplify code without changing behavior, and fix
every existing violation. Each candidate was gated on measured cost rather than
assumption, so rules that regressed runtime performance or type checking were
dropped instead of suppressed.
typescript/no-redundant-type-constituents is the largest addition: 113 sites, no
autofix. Dead constituents are deleted. Where the redundant literal existed to
document intent (`string | 'all'`), it is preserved as `(string & {})`, which
keeps the autocomplete hint the original code was reaching for instead of
flattening it away. The rule also caught a broken import —
remote-shared-control-retirement-probe.ts pulled RuntimeStatus from
src/shared/types, which does not export it, so the type silently degraded to
`any`; no tsconfig covers that file, so tsc never saw it.
oxlint stays at 1.77.0 rather than 1.78.0 because .npmrc sets
minimum-release-age=4320 and 1.78.0 is younger than that window.
Rules evaluated and rejected, with what disqualified each:
- prefer-string-raw: String.raw is a runtime call, not a literal (184x slower)
- prefer-string-replace-all: 26% slower
- text-encoding-identifier-case: ~5% slower, reproducible
- prefer-spread: [...str] is 110% slower than split('') and differs on surrogates
- no-implicit-coercion: `!!x` narrows types and `Boolean(x)` does not (22 tsc errors)
- prefer-arrow-callback: arrows are not constructible, breaking `new` on mocks
- object-shorthand: rewrites source text asserted by a tracked reliability gate
- switch-case-braces: pushes ten files past max-lines, which cannot be suppressed
- no-useless-switch-case: drops `case undefined:` that switch-exhaustiveness-check needs
- arrow-body-style: 115 violations have no fix, and it breaks max-lines
- newline-after-import: false-positives on the leading-semicolon ASI idiom
electron-vite-output-contract asserted on the literal
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call text; retarget it to Object.hasOwn, which
rejects inherited keys identically.
* perf(worktrees): delete worktree directories after the removal returns
`git worktree remove` deleted the whole checkout inline, so the remove IPC held the
watcher/PTY gate for the entire recursive delete (prod traces: worktree.remove.git_remove
p50 8-14s, p90 29s, max 34.7s). Local removals now rename the checkout into a hidden
sibling trash root, clear Git's registration for the missing path, and delete the moved
tree in the background. Renames that cannot run (WSL, other volume, Windows open handles)
fall back to the previous in-place removal unchanged.
* test(worktrees): keep no empty trash root when the rename cannot run
* fix(worktrees): harden deferred trash cleanup
* fix(worktrees): keep WSL trash on its owning host
* chore(dead-code): drop 2k lines of unreachable exports and orphan modules
Ran knip across every build entry (main, preload, renderer, popout, web,
cli, relay, workers, forked sidecars, config scripts) and removed what no
entry graph can reach.
- 11 orphan modules nothing imported, plus one test that only covered them
- 159 unused exports/types, with their now-dead helpers, imports and tests
Each candidate was verified against dynamic references before deletion.
42 knip hits were false positives and are kept: shared modules consumed by
the mobile/ workspace, the src/shared/plugins/** public API, vendored
shadcn primitives, and relay wire-protocol constants held for compatibility.
Adds knip.json + `pnpm audit:dead-code` so this stays measurable.
Verified: pnpm typecheck, pnpm lint, and 2081 tests across the 73 affected
test files all pass.
* chore(dead-code): move knip config under config/
Root-level additions are blocked by the root directory guard.

* fix(worktrees): prevent deletion from blocking Orca
* test(worktrees): loosen async history-delete event-loop bound for CI
The main-thread safety check failed on a loaded runner when a single
timer gap hit ~48ms under the prior 30ms threshold. Keep the bound well
below a recursive sync-rm stall without treating CI jitter as a block.
* test(worktrees): measure history-delete critical path, not timer gaps
setInterval gaps during async rm of thousands of files still flake under
CI scheduling. deleteWorktreeHistoryDir is sync and must only rename, so
assert that critical-path wall time stays well below a recursive walk.
* fix(worktrees): prevent deletion from blocking Orca
Add timeout-based draining of watcher closes so SSH round-trip delays don't
indefinitely block the worktree removal path. Also: order durable temp-file
sweeps ahead of writes to reclaim orphans before accumulation, skip own-process
temps to avoid deleting live writes, swallow persistence errors so disk failures
don't cascade to query callers, and measure history-deletion progress by loop
turns rather than timer gaps to detect blocking on CI runners.
* fix(worktrees): prevent deletion from blocking Orca
Worktree deletion can now proceed even if filesystem watchers or history cleanup operations hang, preventing Orca from freezing. Changes:
- Fence install slots with tokens instead of counters so removals can abandon wedged installs without corrupting later removals
- Timeout-bound watcher unsubscribe operations with a shared drain budget
- Move JSON serialization of large usage caches from queue-time to write-time to avoid blocking main thread
- Async tombstone + schedule history tree deletion instead of blocking recursive rmSync during GC, preventing main-thread stalls ~10s after startup
* Extract usage cache writer into reusable durable snapshot class
Consolidates serialized durable-write and generation-veto logic from
three usage stores into UsageCacheSnapshotWriter. Eliminates duplication,
centralizes multi-MB JSON serialization on the main thread via write-queue
serialization, and vetoes superseded snapshots to avoid wasted rewrites.
* fix(worktrees): prevent deletion from blocking Orca
Worktree deletion used to recursively delete large session trees (hundreds
of MB) on the critical path, stalling the event loop. Instead, rename trees
into a `.pending-delete` tombstone queue and reclaim them asynchronously
off the removal's critical path.
Extracted host tree removal into a reusable helper (`removeHostTree`) that
centralizes Windows retry logic. Added usage-cache flush on quit to prevent
data loss when scans complete right before shutdown. Improved watcher
removal deadline management with reserved tail slices for the final
unsubscribe, and added retry logic for tombstone removals that fail once
under transient Windows locking.
* fix(history): retry failed session tree removals
Tombstoned session trees whose removal fails transiently (e.g., EBUSY
under Windows AV) are now re-queued in-process with bounded exponential
backoff instead of sitting until the next HistoryManager construction.
Prevents a single stuck tree from blocking the entire Orca process.

110 files carried an eslint/oxlint-disable max-lines directive but are
already under the default max-lines budget (300 .ts / 400 .tsx / 600 .mjs
/ 800 test), so the suppression is dead. Removing it restores real
max-lines coverage on these files with zero behavior change.
Each removed directive had max-lines as its only rule; verified via a
full oxlint run (0 max-lines violations, 0 new errors). Diff is pure
deletions (200 lines, 0 additions) — no code touched.

Two independent pieces, no behavior change to terminal handling:
1. Daemon lifecycle file log. The detached daemon runs with stdio
ignored, so field failures have zero daemon-side evidence. The daemon
now writes rotated NDJSON lifecycle events (startup/ready/hello
accept+reject/session create/attach/exit/kill/shutdown/uncaught
exceptions) to logs/daemon.log via a new optional --log-file fork arg.
Fail-open (any fs error disables logging), adoption-neutral (old
daemons without the arg keep working, protocol untouched), and the
diagnostic bundle collector now includes the file, bounded by the same
lookback window as trace spans.
2. tools/win-update-e2e: a packaged NSIS update proof harness. Installs
version N, drives the installed app (isolated userData), plants a
canary marker session, silently updates to N+1, relaunches, and
asserts an explicit expectations profile: --expect cold-restore
(today's behavior) or --expect survival (the Phase 1 target). Window
flashes are detected by baseline-diffed window enumeration with
canary-title attribution; daemons are identified by command-line
marker, never exe name. Refuses to run when a pre-existing Orca app is
running or (without --allow-existing-install) installed, and only
uninstalls an install it fully owns.
Enable three unicorn rules — one correctness, two performance — and fix every
existing violation repo-wide so the rules pass as errors.
prefer-number-properties (76 sites)
- parseInt/parseFloat/NaN -> Number.* : safe aliases (autofixed).
- isNaN -> Number.isNaN (12 sites, hand-converted): global isNaN coerces its
argument, Number.isNaN does not. Verified every call site already passes a
number (Number.parseInt results, number-typed fields, Date.getTime()), so the
conversion is behavior-preserving today and guards against a future non-numeric
argument silently coercing.
prefer-array-find (26 sites)
- .filter(pred)[0] -> .find(pred); .filter(pred).at(-1) / .pop() -> .findLast(pred).
Drops the intermediate array and short-circuits.
prefer-array-index-of (5 sites)
- .findIndex(x => x === v) -> .indexOf(v).
Verified: typecheck (node/cli/web) clean, 53 affected suites pass (1679 tests),
oxlint clean repo-wide. mobile/ uses findLast safely (already ships ES2023
.toReversed()); config scripts and e2e helpers run on Node 24.
* fix: write stats file in chunks to avoid Electron UTF-8 abort
orca-stats.json gains an event on every agent start/stop. After about a
month of use mine had grown to ~3.6k events / ~608 KB, and the app started
hard-crashing a few seconds after every launch (SIGTRAP, no catchable JS
stack):
Assertion failed: (length + 1) <= (capacity())
node::MaybeStackBuffer<char>::SetLengthAndZeroTerminate <- node::Utf8Value
The crash is in StatsCollector.writeToDiskSync(), which saves the whole
file in one writeFileSync(JSON.stringify(data)). Electron 42.3.2's bundled
Node aborts when encoding a string that large to UTF-8 in a single write;
stock Node 24 handles the same file fine and the data is well-formed, so
it's an Electron/Node encoding limit, not bad data. The save runs on a
debounce after agent_start, which restored agents fire on launch -- so it
crashed right after opening.
Write the JSON in 64 KB slices through one fd instead (never splitting a
surrogate pair), and lower MAX_EVENTS 10k -> 1k so the file can't grow back
this large. Lifetime aggregates are unaffected.
Verified by reproducing the abort standalone with the real 608 KB file
under ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, confirming the chunked writer round-trips it
byte-for-byte with no crash, and running a patched build that loads the
file without crashing. The underlying encode abort is an Electron/Node bug
to report upstream.
* fix: harden stats JSON writes
* fix: chunk app state UTF-8 writes
* fix: stabilize status and terminal polling
