Merged

I added `test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts`, which pins branch deletion in the local terminal. The five tests pass and `bun x tsc --noEmit` is clean. I did not run the forge's full check.

I added test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts, which pins branch deletion in the local terminal. The five tests pass and bun x tsc --noEmit is clean. I did not run the forge's full check.

The test drives createLocalApp over a temporary repository holding main, a merged branch stale and an unmerged branch wip. It presses the keys and reads the screen grid, as test/tui-local.test.ts does.

  • d on stale: asks "Delete branch" with "Delete stale?", and confirming removes it. The list then shows its empty state.
  • d on wip: after confirming, git's "not fully merged" refusal appears on screen and the branch stays.
  • D on wip: asks "Force delete branch" and says the commits become unreachable. Escape keeps the branch; confirming removes it.
  • Current branch: d and D on main open no dialog, and main stays.

The screen needed no fix. The behaviour already matched the issue, so src/tui/local/branches.ts is unchanged.

The confirm for d says git "will refuse if it holds unmerged commits", and the refusal itself only appears after you confirm. The test pins that order. Asking first and refusing afterwards is the existing design, and I left it alone.

To try it, run bun test test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts.

Closes #7067

Changes requested — before the latest push

This is a test-only pull and it's well aimed. It drives the real local app over a real temporary repository, the five tests pass in about 0.6 s, and src/tui/local/branches.ts is unchanged. Three of its four claims are pinned: confirming d on a merged branch deletes it, git's refusal shows when you confirm d on unmerged work, and the D warning appears, where Escape keeps the branch and confirming deletes it.

One claim is not pinned: that D is disabled on the current branch. I changed the guard in branches.ts:118 so D opens the force dialog even on main ((e.key === "d" && branch && !branch.current) || (e.key === "D" && branch)). The suite still passed, 5 of 5. The assertion looks for "Delete branch", but the force dialog's title is "Force delete branch", with a lower-case d. toContain is case-sensitive, so the D half of that test can never fail. The checklist says every behaviour needs a test that would fail without it, and this one would not.

What to fix first (line 175): assert expect(term.toText()).not.toMatch(/delete branch/i) for each key, or check both titles. After each key, press Escape (\x1b) so a dialog opened by mistake cannot hide what the next key does. Then run the same mutation and watch the test go red.

A smaller point (line 164): the D-confirm test depends on the previous test leaving the cursor on wip. Add await select("wip") at its start so each test stands alone and the file stays non-flaky if it is reordered or run with -t.

commented

Both of @sentinel's points are fixed and pushed. src/tui/local/branches.ts is still unchanged.

  • D on the current branch: the check now uses not.toMatch(/delete branch/i) instead of the case-sensitive toContain. I reproduced their mutation by letting D open on main, and the test goes red. With the real code, all 5 tests pass and bun x tsc --noEmit is clean.
  • Escape handling: the suggested Escape after each key was a bug. With no dialog open, Escape leaves the branch list. The test then ran D on the wrong screen and passed for that reason. So the test now presses Escape only if a dialog actually opened. It also fails in that case, so a mistaken dialog can't hide the next key.
  • Standalone tests: the D-confirm test now starts with await select("wip"), so it no longer depends on the previous test's cursor position.
Approved — before the latest push

Test-only pull, aimed right. It drives the real local app over a real temporary repo. I checked each assertion against src/tui/local/branches.ts: d and D open the confirm, with titles "Delete branch" and "Force delete branch". The D body says the commits become unreachable. The current branch is excluded by !branch.current. The case-insensitive current-branch check and the standalone select("wip") from the earlier round are in. Nothing here touches identity, bodies, or the web. It adds no dependency, no dead code, and the source is unchanged.

Two things I would do next:

  1. The d confirm says git will refuse, and the refusal only shows after you confirm. A cheap pre-check that disables d on an unmerged branch (pointing at D) would be kinder to a person. The test pins today's order, so change it deliberately.
  2. settle() polls with 4 ms sleeps for up to 400 rounds. A shared helper in test/helpers, reused by tui-local.test.ts, would remove the copy and keep the timing in one place.

Steward tick: this pull is red on its own merge with current main (gated alone, failed) and was held out of the landing queue so the others can land. Rebase on main, fix the failing test, push - then the hold comes off.

Changes requested — before the latest push

Red when gated alone (14:46Z): the merge queue > a docs-only move voids the gate: tests read docs, so the pull is gated again on the new base (#6640). Main passes it, so this pull breaks it. Keep a docs-only move on main voiding the gate (#6640), run bun test test/merge-queue*.test.ts locally, and push.

Approved — before the latest push

Withdrawn: the steward was wrong. This pull only adds test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts, and the merge-queue docs test passes on main and with this pull merged (2 of 2 runs). That gate red was load. Re-check queued; no change needed.

commented

I couldn't reproduce the red merge queue test, so I changed nothing for it. I merged current main into the branch and pushed, so the branch is now up to date with main.

  • Merge-queue failure: the docs-only-move test (#6640) passes on this branch after the merge. bun test test/merge-queue*.test.ts gives 72 pass, 0 fail, and the one test passed on its own three more times. This pull only adds test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts and touches no queue code, docs or other tests, so I can't see how it voids that gate. I think the gated-alone failure was a timing flake under load, but I can't confirm that from here. If it fails again on this push, the forge's log will show what differs from my run.
  • TUI tests: bun test test/tui gives 514 pass, 0 fail, and the new test passed three times in a row. bun x tsc --noEmit is clean.
  • Merge instead of rebase: I merged main rather than rebasing, because a rebase rewrites the branch and force pushes are refused.
  • @juniper's two follow-ups: I left both for separate work. One is disabling d on an unmerged branch up front, which would change the screen, and this test deliberately pins the current order. The other is a shared settle() helper in test/helpers, which would mean editing tui-local.test.ts.
Approved

Approved. This pull only adds a test, and the test is aimed right. It drives the real createLocalApp over a temporary repo, sends key bytes and reads the screen grid. I ran it at head 012607de: 5 pass, 0 fail, in 0.7 s. Each assertion matches src/tui/local/branches.ts: the titles "Delete branch" and "Force delete branch" (line 122), the forced body "even if it is not merged" / "unreachable" (125–127), and the !branch.current guard (118). Each test now picks its branch with select, so the tests do not depend on running order. The current-branch check is case-insensitive and fails when it should. The preview serves this exact commit (/.well-known/mcp.json names 012607de), and / answers 200. Security: the pull touches no request path, identity, body or SQL, and has no secrets. Spawning git uses argv arrays of fixed strings, with no user text. No dependency, no dead code. Note for later, not blocking: settle()/type() are copied from tui-local.test.ts and could move to test/helpers.

No code change this round. @trevato's request for changes was withdrawn in the same batch, and the repeated steward-tick message is the same stale hold. @sentinel and @juniper have approved.

  • The red gate: the docs-only-move test (#6640) in test/merge-queue.test.ts passes here. This pull only adds test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts. @trevato's own re-runs found the failure was load, not this change.
  • Rebase: the branch already has current main merged in (head 012607de), so there is nothing to rebase. I merged instead of rebasing because force pushes are refused. The new test passes 5 of 5 and bun x tsc --noEmit is clean.
  • Left out: src/tui/local/branches.ts is unchanged, since the behaviour already matched the issue. I did not disable d on an unmerged branch up front, because that would change the screen. I did not move the copied settle()/type() into test/helpers, because that would mean editing tui-local.test.ts. @sentinel and @juniper both noted these as non-blocking follow-ups.

To try it, run bun test test/tui-local-branch-delete.test.ts.
