A kept clone with a stale git lock is unlocked before the run resumes #1306
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
A kept clone with a stale git lock now gets unlocked before the run resumes. I couldn't run the new end-to-end test or the type check here. The sandbox blocks the unix-socket listener the forge's test server needs, so `test/crew-interrupted.test.ts` fails at setup in every test. `bunx tsc` also couldn't find the `bun` type definitions. The new unit test passes, and `bun build --no-bundle src/crew/…

The stale-lock sweep in locks.ts is sound: it only touches .git/*.lock and refs locks, skips locks under a minute old, and has unit tests. Two things need fixing. First, the new re-clone fallback in prepareClone has no test. Second, it runs rmSync on a kept clone, which can destroy unpushed commits from the very run that was interrupted. Fix first: before deleting, check that the clone has nothing unpushed, or fail with a plain message and leave the clone. Then add a test that fails without the fallback: plant a young lock that makes checkout fail, and assert the run recovers. Also drop the redundant isSymbolicLink check, since Dirent.isDirectory() is already false for symlinks, and wrap the long addComment line in the crew-interrupted test to the repo formatting. I did not look at the preview. This change is backend only and has no page or tty surface.
I addressed all of @juniper's points and pushed, but the new integration tests have not run. In this sandbox, test/crew-interrupted.test.ts fails in beforeAll with EPERM on a unix-socket listen, and it fails the same way on the unchanged baseline. test/crew-locks.test.ts passes (3 tests). tsc could not run here because it can't find the bun type definitions. I have not seen the new tests fail without the fallback, so the forge's check is the first real run.
- Unpushed work is protected. Before
prepareClonedeletes a kept clone, it runsgit rev-list --branches --not --remotes=origin. If that lists any commit, or the command fails, the run fails with "checkout blocked by a git lock, and the kept clone holds commits that were never pushed; left as it is", and the clone stays. Otherwise it re-clones once as before. - Where I differ from the review. I used that
rev-listcheck rather thangit statusandgit log @{u}... It covers every local branch, not just the current one, and doesn't depend on an upstream being set. Uncommitted changes are not checked, because the existingreset --hardandcleanalready discard them before checkout, as the code comments say. - Symlink check removed. The redundant
isSymbolicLink()is gone fromlocks.ts. - Tests, in
test/crew-interrupted.test.ts. I split the setup intokeptCloneandfollowUphelpers, which also removes the longaddCommentline. There are now three follow-up tests:
- A stale config.lock is swept (the original test).
- A young index.lock makes checkout fail and the run still ends ok with the lock gone. Without the fallback it ends with "checkout failed".
- A young index.lock plus an unpushed local commit makes the run fail with the "never pushed" message, and the commit's file is still in the clone.
Approved. This is crew internals with no page, so the preview has nothing to show for it. I read the diff and the runner path it touches. Stale locks older than a minute are swept before a kept clone is reused, and the sweep runs before the paused-run early return. A young lock that blocks checkout falls back to one fresh clone, and only when rev-list --branches --not --remotes=origin shows no unpushed commits. The fallback does not lose more than the existing reset --hard and clean already discard. The tests cover an old lock, a young lock, and a young lock with unpushed commits. I did not run bun test. Two things I would do next: (1) the diff reformats the two createUser calls and one addComment call in test/crew-interrupted.test.ts, so drop that noise or put it in its own commit; (2) lockedOut matches any could not lock message, so narrow it to lock files, or add a test showing a non-file lock message does not trigger a re-clone.
The full gate on land was red; the pull is open again. Red tests:
- the gate's list > every test/*.test.ts is in exactly one list, and every entry exists
- the gate's list > every test/*.test.ts is in exactly one list, and every entry exists [1.47ms] [shard 179]
The gate's list guard was red because the new test/crew-locks.test.ts was in neither GATE nor EXCLUDED in scripts/gate.ts. I added it to GATE; it's a fast, pure test. test/crew-locks.test.ts and test/check-list.test.ts pass (11 tests).
I also took juniper's second point. lockedOut no longer matches any could not lock message. It now matches only *.lock: File exists, Unable to create '….lock' and could not lock config file. A new assertion shows that could not lock ref does not trigger a re-clone.
- Not run here:
test/crew-interrupted.test.tsfails in this sandbox withEPERMwhen it opens its unix socket. It fails the same way without my changes, so I couldn't run it here. The forge's gate will run it. - Not done: I left juniper's first point alone. The reformatting of the
createUserandaddCommentcalls intest/crew-interrupted.test.tsis still in the diff.
Merged origin/main into the branch and pushed it, so the "does not merge into main" failure should clear. The only conflict was in scripts/gate.ts, in the list of tests admitted to the gate. Both sides had added entries, and I kept all of them: our test/crew-locks.test.ts plus main's test/ssh-site.test.ts, test/web-code.test.ts and test/web-origins.test.ts.
I ran test/crew-locks.test.ts locally and it passes (3 tests). I didn't run the rest of the suite. Git also auto-merged src/crew/runner.ts without conflict, and I didn't re-run the tests that cover it. The forge's check will run the full suite on this push.
The pull itself is unchanged: a kept clone with a stale git lock now has the lock cleared and is re-cloned only when no commit is unpushed.
Does what the issue asks: stale locks (older than a minute) in a kept clone are swept before the fetch, and a lock-blocked checkout falls back to one fresh clone only when no commit is unpushed. The unpushed-work guard is the right call. Tests cover the sweep, the fallback and the guard. This is runner-internal, so there is no page or terminal door to mirror. Two things I would do next: (1) drop the unrelated reformatting of createUser/addComment in test/crew-interrupted.test.ts so the diff holds only this change; (2) fold the two stacked comment blocks above the unpushed check in runner.ts into one, and make the blocked-checkout error say what to do (remove the lock or the clone by hand).

A kept clone with a stale git lock now gets unlocked before the run resumes. I couldn't run the new end-to-end test or the type check here. The sandbox blocks the unix-socket listener the forge's test server needs, so
test/crew-interrupted.test.tsfails at setup in every test.bunx tscalso couldn't find thebuntype definitions. The new unit test passes, andbun build --no-bundle src/crew/runner.tsconfirms the syntax. The forge's check on this push is the first real run of the end-to-end test.What changed
src/crew/locks.tswithclearStaleLocks. BeforeprepareClonefetches a kept clone, it deletes.git/.lockand.git/refs/*/*.lockfiles older than 60 seconds. It logs one run-log line per lock removed.prepareClone, which is where the run takes the clone. The crew runs one run per issue, so no other run of this forge is holding that clone. The 60-second age guard covers a git process started by hand.prepareClonedeletes the clone and clones afresh, once. This happens inside the same run rather than as a new queued run, which is simpler but not a literal re-queue. Any uncommitted work in that clone is lost.-
test/crew-locks.test.tscovers the sweep: old locks go, young locks and other files stay, and git's lock error messages are recognised. This one passes here. -test/crew-interrupted.test.tshas a new test. It runs a first run that keeps its clone, plants an oldconfig.lock, queues a follow-up on the pull, and expects no "checkout failed" and the lock gone.Left out: The fresh-clone retry has no test of its own.
