fix(git): preserve POSIX discard paths on execution hosts - #27757
On macOS and Linux, docs\file.txt and docs/file.txt are different files. Discarding selected changes now restores the selected tracked file to its staged contents and removes the selected untracked file without confusing their names. Runtime requests also keep the original filename, so discarding one file cannot accidentally restore its slash-named neighbor.
What Changed
Make tracked/untracked comparison use the execution host's path rules: preserve literal backslashes on POSIX; retain Windows separator handling and existing WSL input conversion.
Give the existing runtime Git path validator the resolved execution target. Reuse its existing root-aware validation instead of changing filename spelling before Git sees it. Migrate all consumers of that validator.
Port the regression coverage to the current native and execution-host runtime entry points. Do not reintroduce the removed relay implementation or test harness. Remove its now-unused one-shot matcher export.
Replace assertions against the previous implementation and internal normalization-call counts with explicit filename, directory-boundary, and platform behavior. Replace the obsolete mocked path-edge command assertion with real-Git outcomes.
Document staged-content preservation and literal POSIX filenames in the source-control guide.
Why
This replaces #27134, which now conflicts with main after the legacy relay was removed. Its review generated no actionable code comments, but porting it unchanged would miss the current runtime path validator's unconditional backslash conversion. Seven real-Git regressions fail on the current base: native bulk discard rejects the untracked path; runtime bulk discard leaves selected changes behind; runtime single-file discard restores the wrong neighbor.
Fixing the existing matcher and validator preserves the shared execution-host implementation and existing safety checks. Duplicating a remote discard flow or special-casing one filename would leave the underlying path-identity bug in place.
A standalone, mock-free smoke invokes native and runtime discard against a disposable real repository and checks file contents, staged contents, selected deletion, and untouched files. It also checks POSIX/Windows/WSL normalization, unsafe-path rejection, and that selecting a directory visits only its first tracked descendant in a 150,000-entry list. The throwaway script and repository were removed after verification.
pnpm tc passes across all configured projects.
Full pnpm lint passes.
pnpm build:orcad passes, including the macOS arm64 execution-host artifact and patched PTY prebuild.
Changed-code quality and formatting checks pass.
No live Linux, Windows, WSL, or SSH session or desktop GUI was exercised. Windows comparison and WSL conversion have automated coverage. CI remains responsible for the full test suite and desktop packaging.

Review
Cross-platform: POSIX filenames stay literal; native Windows and the existing WSL conversion remain separator-aware. Path checks reuse the existing validator.
SSH/remote/local: the execution host owns Git and normalization. The current runtime entry point is exercised with real Git; no legacy relay path is restored. The remote host must run the fixed version.
Folder workspaces: regression repositories are ordinary repository directories, not linked worktrees; no worktree-only assumption is introduced.
Agents/integrations/providers: no agent, integration, or Git hosting-provider behavior changes.
Compatibility: no RPC schema, stream, persisted-state, or Git-command changes. All internal callers of the changed validator and matcher are migrated.
Performance: preserve lazy per-operation tracked-path normalization and early exit; POSIX comparison avoids the unnecessary separator replacement. No new Git subprocesses or full-tree scans.
Security: preserve worktree containment, unsafe-relative-path rejection, symlink validation, staged index authority, and pathspec-bounded deletion. Real-Git coverage checks that an unselected neighbor remains unchanged.
UI: unchanged; screenshots are not applicable.
Agent skill upstream boundary
Not applicable; no upstream skill-installer source or related artifacts are copied or translated.
Notes
No full desktop build or packaging claim. No attempt to satisfy the previous bot's generic docstring-coverage warning with boilerplate comments.
Seven real-Git regressions fail before and pass afterward; 128 focused tests, full lint/typecheck, the execution-host build, and a standalone native/runtime smoke pass. No live Windows, WSL, Linux, or SSH session was exercised.
GitHub does not permit me to add formal reviewer assignments, so this comment is the review request.
Path matching now treats backslashes as separators only in Windows path mode. Runtime Git path normalization uses the resolved target, with conditional backslash conversion for blob reads. Bulk discard selects path comparison based on platform and WSL configuration. New tests cover literal-backslash paths in discard and commit diffs. Documentation describes discard behavior and POSIX filename handling.

Explanation
The title "fix(git): preserve POSIX discard paths on execution hosts" names the main change. The changeset keeps literal backslashes in filenames on POSIX hosts during tracked/untracked path comparison for Git discard operations, and passes the resolved execution target into the runtime path validator. The title is specific and concise, follows a conventional commit style, and does not use vague terms.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template closely. It covers ELI5, What Changed, Why, Linked Issue (Fixes #27133), Visual Proof (N/A with a reason and backend evidence), Testing with platforms and commands, Risk, AI Disclosure, Review, Agent skill boundary, Notes, and Checklist. The Risk section is missing a 'Level' value: the template line 'Level: <!-- Low, Medium, or High -->' is left without a selection. The Risk section also does not say how to back out the change (for example, a plain revert). The Testing section lists macOS arm64 but does not state the Linux, Windows, or SSH status in the template's terms, though it does say those were not exercised. These gaps are minor relative to the overall completeness.
Resolution
Fill in the Risk section with a risk level (Low, Medium, or High) and a backout method (for example, a plain revert and whether any state is left behind). Optionally state the Linux, Windows, and SSH testing status in the Testing section.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#27133] requires that a literal backslash in a POSIX filename is not treated as a separator when tracked and untracked paths are compared. Source at head confirms this. In src/shared/git/paths/git-tracked-pathspecs.ts, normalizeGitPathForCompare converts backslashes only when windowsPaths is true. partitionTrackedPathSpecs takes that flag. In src/main/git/source-control/discard-changes.ts, bulkDiscardChanges passes process.platform === 'win32' || Boolean(options.wslDistro). Native discard therefore keeps docs\file.txt distinct from docs/file.txt on POSIX. For the runtime path, src/main/runtime/files/paths/runtime-relative-paths.ts normalizeRuntimeRelativePath keeps backslashes when rootPath is defined and not Windows-absolute. It converts only when rootPath is Windows-absolute or undefined. src/main/runtime/integrations/git/runtime-git-command-target.ts passes the worktree path as root, except for a local WSL target, which passes no root. Windows separator handling and WSL conversion are retained. Runtime staging and discard callers pass the resolved target (per the change summary). The tests named in the PR cover the forward pairing, the reverse pairing, and the tracked backslash path with an untracked directory. They check staged content, index preservation, selected deletion, and an unselected neighbor. The legacy relay handler named in the issue no longer exists. Its regression coverage is ported to the current native and runtime entry points, which is a reasonable equivalent. Limits: I did not execute the test suite. I did not read the test files. I did not enumerate every caller of the removed isTrackedPathSpec export. The test and typecheck results rely on the author's reported runs. The source behavior above supports the coding requirements.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes support the path-identity fix in [#27133]. partitionTrackedPathSpecs and the matcher take a platform flag. Removing the unused isTrackedPathSpec export is cleanup that follows from that signature change. Changing normalizeRuntimeGitRelativePath to take a RuntimeGitTarget is required so that the shared validator receives the execution-host root. Migrating its callers is needed for the signature change to compile. The diff, branch-diff, commit-diff, remote-file-URL, and staging runtime commands now use the same target-aware normalization. This applies the same backslash-as-separator correction to other runtime path inputs on POSIX hosts. That effect is wider than the discard flow named in the issue. It follows from the shared validator and is not a separate feature. The readGitBlob change applies the same platform rule to blob paths. The added tests and the source-control documentation describe the staged-content and literal-POSIX-filename behavior. No relay code, RPC schema, persisted state, or unrelated product behavior is changed. I found no concrete unrelated change. The wider runtime effect is noted for reviewer awareness, not as a scope failure.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 5 functions across 9 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

On a POSIX target, normalizeRuntimeRelativePath converts the literal filename docs\file.txt to docs/file.txt. getRuntimeGitCommitDiff therefore passes the wrong path to getCommitDiff when those files are distinct. Use normalizeRuntimeGitRelativePath(args.filePath, target) and apply the same change to args.oldPath.

This replaces #27134, which now conflicts with main after the legacy relay was removed. Its review generated no actionable code comments, but porting it unchanged would miss the current runtime path validator's unconditional backslash conversion. Seven real-Git regressions fail on the current base: native bulk discard rejects the untracked path; runtime bulk discard leaves selected changes behind; runtime single-file discard restores the wrong neighbor.
Fixing the existing matcher and validator preserves the shared execution-host implementation and existing safety checks. Duplicating a remote discard flow or special-casing one filename would leave the underlying path-identity bug in place.
