## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Developers can run Paperclip from linked Git worktrees. > - The server development watcher scans paths near the active checkout. > - A main checkout can contain many complete sibling worktrees under `.paperclip/worktrees`. > - Scanning those sibling checkouts can stall the watcher before it starts the server. > - This pull request excludes the shared worktree directory from the development watcher. > - The benefit is that development startup stays responsive as the number of worktrees grows. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** The server development watcher traversed sibling checkouts under `.paperclip/worktrees`. Large worktree collections could make `pnpm dev` stall before the watcher started the server process. **Expected behavior** The watcher must observe only source paths that can reload the active checkout. It must ignore sibling worktrees in both a main checkout and a linked worktree. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Create several linked worktrees under `.paperclip/worktrees`. 2. Add normal dependency and build output trees to those worktrees. 3. Run `pnpm dev` from the main checkout or one linked worktree. 4. Observe the watcher scan sibling worktrees before it starts the server. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced on `master` before this change. **Deployment mode** Local development with `pnpm dev`. ## What Changed - Detect whether the active server root is inside the managed linked-worktree directory. - Ignore the shared `.paperclip/worktrees` root from both main and linked checkouts. - Add regression coverage for the resolved ignore path and its globstar form. ## Verification - `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run server/src/__tests__/dev-watch-ignore.test.ts --reporter=verbose` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` ## Risks - Low risk. The change affects only local development watch exclusions. - A non-standard checkout that copies the same `.paperclip/worktrees` directory layout will receive the same exclusion. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
