Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5 a9d1f740f0 fix(workspaces): seed managed worktrees when the base checkout has no config (#11752)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents do that work in isolated git worktrees, and a managed
worktree runs its own Paperclip instance with a cloned database
> - That clone needs a seed source, and the source must come from
server-owned registration, never from state the workspace itself can
rewrite
> - The seed-source resolver requires the registered base project
workspace to hold its own `.paperclip/config.json`
> - A managed project workspace is a plain `git clone`, and no code
writes that file into it
> - Every isolated worktree provision, deferred seed, and workspace
repair therefore fails on a managed checkout
> - This pull request lets a named source supply the config when the
base checkout has none
> - The benefit is that managed worktrees provision again, and the seed
source stays server-owned

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this problem. It is described below.

**What happened?**

Agent runs that need an isolated worktree fail during provisioning. The
provision command exits with this error (paths redacted):

```
Execution workspace provision command "bash ./scripts/provision-worktree.sh" failed:
Registered base project workspace has no canonical Paperclip config:
<instance-home>/instances/default/projects/<company-id>/<project-id>/<repo>/.paperclip/config.json
```

`resolveRegisteredWorktreeSeedSource` sets `registeredConfigPath` to
`<baseCwd>/.paperclip/config.json` whenever the caller names a
registered base workspace. It then requires that file to exist.
`scripts/provision-worktree.sh` applies the same rule.

A managed project workspace never has that file.
`materializeManagedProjectWorkspace` creates it with `git clone` and a
rename, so the checkout holds repository content only. The control plane
keeps its config at `<home>/instances/<id>/config.json` instead.

The failure reaches three paths: worktree provisioning, deferred seeding
through `worktree ensure-seeded`, and workspace repair.

The behavior changed in #11671. That pull request replaced a fallback
chain with a single hard requirement. Fixture code in
`scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs` writes a
config into the fake base workspace, so tests kept passing.

**Expected behavior**

A managed worktree provisions and seeds from the registered source. The
seed manifest still never selects that source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Register the Paperclip repository as a project with a `repoUrl`, so
the server materializes a managed checkout.
2. Assign an issue to an agent whose workspace strategy is
`git_worktree`.
3. Watch the workspace operation log for the provision command.
4. The command exits non-zero with the error above.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` at 01ddc26a3.

**Deployment mode**

`local_trusted`, single instance.

**Database mode**

Embedded PostgreSQL.

**Operating system**

Linux, Node.js 22.

**Related pull requests**

- Refs #11671 — introduced the requirement this pull request relaxes.
- Refs #11733 — open work on seed-source preflight. It reads the same
base-workspace config path and skips when the file is absent. It does
not change source selection.
- Refs #11735 — open work on provisioning reliability. It edits the same
four files and will need a rebase after either lands.

## What Changed

- `resolveRegisteredWorktreeSeedSource` sets the registered config path
only when `<baseCwd>/.paperclip/config.json` exists. This makes the
existing `registeredConfigPath ?? explicitSource` branch reachable for a
plain checkout.
- A base workspace that does hold its own config stays authoritative. A
mismatched explicit source is still rejected.
- The resolver throws a named error when the base workspace has no
config and no source is named.
- `readInstanceId` accepts an instance-root config at
`<home>/instances/<id>/config.json`. That layout names its instance by
directory and has no adjacent `.env`. Validation reuses
`resolvePaperclipInstanceId`.
- `scripts/provision-worktree.sh` and
`scripts/provision-worktree-runtime.sh` name the control plane's
instance config as the source when the base workspace has none. The
canonical-path and symlink checks stay.
- The workspace repair route supplies the same fallback, and only when
the base workspace has no config of its own.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md` records the two source layouts.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
— 10 tests pass. The fixture no longer writes a config into the base
workspace, so it models a real managed checkout. One test now creates
that config mid-test, which covers both layouts.
- `npx vitest run src/worktree-seed-source.test.ts` in `packages/shared`
— 4 tests pass. Two are new: one resolves an instance-root source, and
one still fails closed when no source exists.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-operations-reconciliation.test.ts
src/__tests__/worktree-seed-server-spawn.test.ts` in `server` — all
pass. Run them one file at a time. They share one test database, and
concurrent runs fail teardown.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts` in `cli` — 63 tests
pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
- Manual check on a live instance: the resolver now returns the instance
config as the source for a managed checkout, with the source instance
`default` and a distinct target instance.

## Risks

Low to moderate.

- The relaxed rule applies only when the base workspace holds no config.
A base workspace that holds one keeps full authority, so the trust model
from #11671 is unchanged. The seed manifest still never selects the
source.
- The instance-id fallback reads a directory name. It applies only to
the `<home>/instances/<id>/config.json` layout, and
`resolvePaperclipInstanceId` rejects an unsafe segment.
- #11735 edits the same four files. Whichever pull request lands second
needs a rebase.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` currently fails on this
checkout with duplicate `drizzle-orm` type instantiations. The failure
is present with and without this change, and the error count is
identical. It comes from an unrelated lockfile state, not from this pull
request.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), by Anthropic, running in Claude Code.
Extended thinking was on. The model used file, search, and shell tools
to diagnose the failure on a live instance and to run the test suites.
