Creating a worktree over SSH failed with a raw "ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/home/neil/projects/orca-test1234'". The path was the one about to be created, so its absence was correct. The caller asks exactly that question — remotePathExists returns false on ENOENT — and could not get an answer, so it rethrew at the user instead. The trace log settles where the error comes from, and it is not where I spent a long time looking. The stack starts at SshChannelMultiplexer.handleResponse: the lstat ran on the SSH HOST, and the failure travelled back as JSON-RPC. An lstat in an ENOENT message is normally Node's local filesystem, which sent me hunting for a local fs call on a remote path; there is none. handleResponse rebuilds the error as `new Error(msg.error.message)` and then sets `code` from `msg.error.code` — the TRANSPORT's numeric JSON-RPC code. Node's 'ENOENT' string code does not survive that, and isENOENT tested only for the string, so a remote missing path could never be recognised as missing. Every caller of that predicate asks the same question, so this was wrong for all of them, not just worktree create. The message is now consulted as well, matched on Node's full canonical phrase so a branch name or log line that merely contains the word cannot make an existing path look absent — that would silently skip a collision check rather than report one. Fixed on the client because it holds for every relay version, including ones already deployed; teaching the relay to send the original code would only help hosts redeployed afterwards. The two other copies of this predicate, in filesystem-rename-collision and git-discard-path-safety, are deliberately left alone: both run against a local filesystem — one inside the relay, one on the desktop — where the string code is intact and broadening would only add false positives. Seven tests, three of which fail on the unfixed code: the relay-rebuilt error, the same error through the IPC wrapper the renderer sees, and one carrying no code at all.
