Deleting a worktree whose PR was just merged used to warn "N commits not in origin/main". The daemon did try to fetch first, but a failed fetch (offline, no SSH agent on a remote host) was silently dropped and the count fell back to a stale origin/main. The local main, which often already holds the merge, was never consulted.

What changes

  • Two bases instead of one. A worktree's commits are safe when reachable from the local default branch or its origin remote-tracking ref as last fetched. The default branch is origin/HEAD's target, else main, else master, whichever exists locally or under origin.

  • Fetch only when needed. Only when some commits are in neither base, and an origin remote exists, does the daemon fetch the default branch (+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main, so a custom remote.origin.fetch or a force-pushed main doesn't matter) and count again.

  • A failed fetch is reported, not swallowed. Every process failure (non-zero exit, 20 s timeout, signal, spawn error) becomes a typed reason: git's first non-blank error line with control characters replaced, capped at 1024 chars.

  • Dialog wording names the bases it compared with:

    • It has 2 commits not in main or origin/main.
    • It has 1 commit not in main or origin/main as last fetched; couldn't compare with a fresh origin/main because the fetch failed: ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: No route to host.
    • There is no main or origin/main to check that its commits are merged.

    The detached-worktree note uses the same phrase. Everything else in the dialog (uncommitted changes, running terminals, red frame) is unchanged. A forced removal still neither counts nor fetches.

Wire change

worktreeAtRisk replaces base with local, remote and a required, nullable fetchFailed: {ref, reason}. A schema refinement keeps ahead null exactly when both bases are null. DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION 7 → 8 and BROWSER_PROTOCOL_VERSION 10 → 11, so hub and daemons need restarting together (an old daemon shows as outdated).

The full spec is in openspec/changes/dev-2152-worktree-term-check-a-worktrees-commits-against-local-main/.

Linear: DEV-2152

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Worktree deletion now checks commits against both the local default branch and its last-fetched remote counterpart, fetching updates when needed.
    • Deletion warnings identify commit, working-tree, and running-terminal risks. If a fetch fails, the warning includes the comparison reference and error details.
    • Forced deletion remains available to bypass risk checks.
  • Compatibility

    • Updated daemon and browser protocol versions. Restart the daemon and hub together to apply the changes.

Walkthrough

The daemon now checks worktree commits against local and origin-tracking default-branch refs, fetches conditionally, and reports fetch failures. The worktree-risk protocol fields and versions changed. The web interface displays the available comparison refs and fetch details in removal warnings.

Changes: Worktree removal risk checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Risk message and protocol migration
openspec/changes/..., src/protocol/*, src/cli/run.test.ts, test/process/cli.test.ts, test/process/connect.test.ts, test/process/daemon-server-startup.test.ts, test/process/install-local.test.ts
The worktreeAtRisk message replaces base with local and remote, and adds nullable fetchFailed. Daemon and browser protocol versions change to 8 and 11. Schemas, validation, samples, and protocol compatibility expectations are updated.
Daemon comparison and fetch behavior
openspec/changes/.../specs/daemon/*, src/daemon/worktrees/*, src/daemon/server/daemon.ts, src/daemon/server/daemon.test.ts, test/support/daemon-host.ts, test/process/daemon-worktrees.test.ts
The daemon selects a default branch, counts commits absent from both available refs, and fetches from origin when commits are ahead. Fetch failures are returned with details. Forced removal skips risk checks.
Web removal warnings and confirmation
openspec/changes/.../specs/web/*, src/web/ui/sidebar.ts, src/web/ui/sidebar.test.ts, src/web/ui/view.ts, test/e2e/sidebar.spec.ts
Removal messages identify available comparison refs and show fetch-failure details. Detached-worktree notes use the available refs. End-to-end tests cover failed fetch messages and display of error text.

Terminal screen assertions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reconnect and restore screen checks
test/e2e/hosts.spec.ts, test/e2e/restore.spec.ts
The reconnect and hub-restart tests set a distinctive shell prompt and wait for both the prompt and marker to appear on screen.

`stop_pid` so it only terminates a server started by this script or otherwise
verified as this checkout’s Vite server. If the listener on `WTD_VITE_PORT`
cannot be identified as this checkout’s server, report a port conflict instead
of stopping it.

verify that the PID still belongs to the hub before sending SIGTERM; if the PID
has been reused by an unrelated process, leave it untouched.
