## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The restart chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos`) restarts the control plane while agents work, then grades the result > - Rule R2 says files an agent wrote before a restart must still be present afterwards > - Repo workloads failed R2 with `pre_fault_files_lost`. The first run worked in the shared project checkout, not in its own worktree > - The seed sets a `git_worktree` project policy, but the server applies that policy only when the instance `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` setting is on. The seed did not turn it on > - This pull request makes the seed turn on the setting (as users do on the Experimental page, and as `tests/runner-e2e` does) and fail if the server does not confirm it > - The benefit is that repo tasks get their own worktree, so one task's files cannot appear in another task's R2 snapshot ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19477 **What happened?** In a restart chaos wave, two repo tasks (B1 and B5) ran at the same time. Both ran in the project primary checkout (`strategyType: project_primary`). Task B1's `NOTES-*.md` file and its `cli.py` edit appeared in the B5 task's workspace before any fault. After a Retry, the B5 task moved to a fresh attempt directory, and R2 reported the B1 file as lost from B5. **Expected behavior** Each repo task gets its own git worktree, as the harness project policy asks. The R2 snapshot of a task contains only that task's files. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Run `tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --env local --adapters codex --workloads B1,B5 --concurrency 2`. 2. Read `currentExecutionWorkspace` for each task. It shows `project_primary` and the fixture checkout as `cwd`. 3. Read `GET /api/instance/settings/experimental`. `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` is `false`. **Root cause** `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts` reads `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` and `gateProjectExecutionWorkspacePolicy` (`server/src/services/execution-workspace-policy.ts`) returns `null` when the setting is off. The project policy is then ignored, and the task resolves to the shared primary checkout. `tests/restart-chaos/seed.ts` created the project policy but did not turn on the setting. ## What Changed - `tests/restart-chaos/seed.ts`: before it creates the project, the seed sends `PATCH /api/instance/settings/experimental` with `enableIsolatedWorkspaces: true`. If the response does not confirm the setting, the seed stops with an error. It records a `seed_isolated_workspaces` timeline entry. - `tests/restart-chaos/seed.test.ts`: new unit tests. One test checks that the seed turns on the setting before it creates the `git_worktree` project. One test checks that the seed refuses to continue when the server does not confirm the setting. - `tests/restart-chaos/README.md`: the `seed.ts` row says that the seed turns on the setting, and why. ## Verification - Red before the fix: `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts seed.test.ts` failed 2/2 (`expected -1 to be greater than or equal to 0`). - Green after the fix: the full restart-chaos unit suite passes, 5 files and 42 tests. - Live wave on this branch (`16f5c8c5d7`, local runner, native Codex, macOS, load average about 40): `tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --env local --adapters codex --workloads B1 --tasks 3 --concurrency 1 --faults K1 --seed 21` (wave `w-20261106T181436-s21`). The timeline shows `seed_isolated_workspaces`. Result: 3/3 pass. Each task crossed a SIGKILL restart. R1, R2, R4, R5, R6 and the workload oracle passed for each task, with no lost files. - Each task's pre-fault file list now has a `.git` file (a git worktree, not the primary checkout) and only its own `NOTES-*.md` file. In the failing wave, the B5 task's list had the B1 task's `NOTES-*.md` file. - Not exercised: no task needed a Retry in this wave, so the Retry-to-fresh-attempt path did not run. - Ledger preflight: install and runner builds passed. The provider-free restart suite had 2 failures in `runnerd-codex-transport-warm-attachment.test.ts` at load average 44; a rerun of that file passed 18/18. ## Risks - Low risk. The change is in the test harness only. It changes no product code. - The harness instance is temporary, so the experimental setting does not reach a real instance. - Repo tasks now run in git worktrees. Earlier waves ran in the shared checkout, so R2 results for repo workloads from earlier waves are not comparable with new waves. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits).
