## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their task workspaces. > - Finished tasks can release reproducible Git files and restore them later. > - Unique work must stay on disk, while regenerable dependencies can be removed. > - Linux Git templates include an empty legacy directory that blocked base cleanup. > - The new expiration branch also skipped the existing guarded dependency cleanup. > - This change accepts the standard empty directory and retains that cleanup order. > - Private bases can expire, and protected workspaces still shed regenerable files. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs: #16457 Live acceptance of #16457 removed a worktree but retained its private base because Linux Git created an empty `.git/branches` directory. A pending-base dry run then tried to resolve the already removed worktree and hid the preservation reason. A local integration comparison also showed that enabling Git expiration skipped existing dependency compaction. It deferred pending startup compaction by an hour. Both failures were reproduced before the fix. ## What Changed - Accept `.git/branches` only when it is an empty real directory. Preserve populated entries, files, and symlinks. - Inspect pending base cleanup without resolving an absent worktree. - Run existing guarded compaction before Git expiration. Exclude already closed rows from compaction and retain its pending deadline. - Keep failed expiration checks from reaching legacy whole-workspace deletion. Existing compaction remains independent of Git expiration dry-run mode. - Extend real Git/PostgreSQL tests and retain the acceptance failures in the delivery state note. ## Verification - Linux-template baseline: private-base expiration failed before the fix. The first sandboxed attempt could not bind PostgreSQL; the authorized retry reproduced the behavior. - Compaction baseline: two regression cases failed in 7.67 seconds. They reproduced skipped dependency cleanup and the lost startup deadline. - After the fixes, `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-compaction.test.ts server/src/__tests__/git-workspace-expiration.test.ts server/src/__tests__/terminal-workspace-work.test.ts` passed all 49 cases in 43.79 seconds. - Controls cover unique work, active runs, unfinished descendants, previews, concurrent reopening, interrupted removal, exact-commit restoration, and retryable upstream failures. - Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed for the final commit. All exact-head CI and security checks passed. Greptile is 5/5 with all findings resolved. - Final staging acceptance will let the restarted worker resume the retained base cleanup, then reopen normally at the recorded commit and persist subsequent work. The base has not been manually removed. The superseded preview build was cancelled before dispatching a replacement. ## Risks - Legacy branch definitions can hold unique data. Only an empty real directory qualifies for deletion. - Compaction preserves its existing lifecycle guard and regenerable-directory allowlist. It cannot fall through to legacy deletion after an expiration failure. - Already closed workspaces must only resume their recorded expiration; they do not enter compaction. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6.1-sol, with reasoning, code execution, Git, database, and browser tools. The exact context-window size is not exposed by this session. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
