Summary

  • restore a retained worktree as the effective runtime directory for resumed provider turns
  • teach the Codex app-server fold to persist and emit stable worktree reports
  • send the effective cwd on every app-server turn/start request
  • fall back to the configured workspace when a retained worktree has been removed

Root cause

Medulla recorded worktree creation as session metadata, but resumed execution continued to use the daemon’s configured launch directory. The Codex app-server path also discarded the workspace-context callback and omitted cwd from turn/start, so later built-in tool calls defaulted to the checkout where Codex originally started.

Impact

Resumed Codex CLI, ACP, and app-server turns now start in the last verified worktree. App-server sessions also expose the move immediately through the normal session-info event path.

Validation

  • cargo test
  • cargo test -p medulla worktree --no-fail-fast
  • cargo test -p medulla completed_worktree_command_updates_the_app_server_workspace
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Resumed tasks now use their retained worktree as the working directory when it is still available.
    • Worktree reports can update checkout and branch information during a session.
    • Workspace updates now emit session information and refresh related context.
    • Added support for validating reported worktrees and ignoring invalid or unregistered reports.
  • Documentation

    • Documented stable worktree reports in the Codex Server documentation.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for resumed worktrees, fallback behavior, validation, and workspace updates.

Warning

Review limit reached

@senamakel, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 17 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK now parses stable worktree reports, validates reported checkouts, retains workspace context, and uses existing retained worktree directories for resumed provider turns. App-server turn/start requests include the selected working directory.

Changes

Workspace Context

Layer / File(s) Summary
Worktree report mapping
src/sdk/src/daemon/mappers/mod.rs, src/sdk/src/daemon/mappers/workspace/mod.rs, src/sdk/src/daemon/providers/codex_server/README.md
The shared mapper parses validated JSON reports before stable text reports. The helper is re-exported and documented as part of the app-server report surface.
Workspace context capture
src/sdk/src/daemon/providers/codex_server/fold.rs, src/sdk/src/daemon/providers/codex_server/tests.rs
FoldState validates successful worktree reports against registered paths and branches, updates workspace context, emits session information, and invokes the workspace callback. Tests cover accepted and rejected reports.
Resumed working-directory selection
src/sdk/src/daemon/providers/execute.rs, src/sdk/src/daemon/providers/tests.rs, src/sdk/src/daemon/providers/codex_server/execution.rs, src/sdk/tests/e2e_codex_app_server.rs
Provider execution selects an existing retained worktree or falls back to the configured directory. App-server turns receive the selected cwd, including resumed sessions. Tests verify both paths.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 028e9

This PR preserves worktree context for resumed Codex turns and falls back to the configured workspace when needed; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

I hop through reports where the worktrees gleam,
I carry the branch in a parsley-green stream.
Resumed turns find the paths they knew,
With trusted roots and callbacks too.
“Cwd!” cries the rabbit, and the turn starts true.

… worktrees

Add a `repository_cwd` field to `FoldState` and a new constructor `with_workspace_at` that accepts it, so the fold can verify that a reported worktree checkout corresponds to an actual worktree of the repository. The change filters out worktree events from failed commands and rejects checkouts not listed by `git worktree list --porcelain`, preventing the workspace context from being updated with stale or invalid paths.

Auto-committed-on: macbook
The codex server now passes the repository's current working directory to the fold state so that completed worktree command reports are validated against the actual repository path. Previously, a forged report could inject an arbitrary path into the workspace context, and the e2e test for resumed turns now verifies that thread/resume precedes turn/start.

Auto-committed-on: macbook
…ion.rs,src/sdk/src/daemon/provi

Auto-committed-on: macbook
Reformatted multiline assertions and tuple returns to single-line style for consistency with project conventions, removing unnecessary line breaks in the codebase.

Auto-committed-on: macbook
The `cwd` value was being moved into the `spawn` call, preventing its use elsewhere. It is now cloned so the original reference remains available. The test expectation for submodule serialization is also corrected to use double braces for proper JSON escaping.

Auto-committed-on: macbook
The `with_workspace` method was an unnecessary intermediate step that only forwarded to `with_workspace_at` with a default checkout position. Inlining its logic directly into `new` removes the dead code and makes the construction path clearer.

Auto-committed-on: macbook
The `std::process::Command` import was no longer needed in the loopback test module, so it has been removed to keep the code clean and avoid compiler warnings about unused imports.

Auto-committed-on: macbook
Removed an extra blank line that was left between the module-level doc comment and the first test function's doc comment in the loopback authentication tests.

Replace the direct git subprocess call for worktree enumeration with an injectable `WorktreeRegistry` enum that supports a static test registry alongside the existing git-based and disabled modes. This removes the need for real git repositories in unit tests, making them faster and more deterministic, and adds explicit test coverage for failed commands, unregistered worktrees, and branch mismatches.

Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The workspace_fold test helper now accepts an optional on_event callback and returns a shared event list alongside the existing workspace context list. This simplifies test setup by removing the need to manually attach an event handler after construction, and ensures all tests that use the helper can access captured events without additional boilerplate.

Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Reformatted three test functions to place the workspace_fold call on a single line instead of splitting it across two lines, improving code consistency and readability without changing any behavior.

Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The test file was using `std::process::Command` without importing it, which would cause a compilation error. This change adds the necessary use statement to resolve the missing import.

Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The workspace_fold function's verbose return type has been extracted into a WorkspaceRecording type alias, making the function signature more concise and improving readability of the test module.
