A new worktree starts on a temporary t3/<hash> branch, which is renamed in the background. Subagents created before the rename finishes copy the temporary name and keep it after git renames the branch. Their branch label is wrong, a later checkout recreation would look for a branch that no longer exists, and storage cleanup keeps the whole group because a member's branch differs. On one real install, 19 of 60 shared root-and-subagent worktrees were stuck this way.

After a successful rename, the parent and every thread, archived or not, still recording the same worktree path and the old branch get the new name. Each update carries the expected branch and path, so a thread that changed in the meantime is left alone. The scan repeats to catch subagents created during propagation. Native Codex and Claude subagents copy the parent from turn start, so a new native child saved on a temporary branch now reads its worktree's current branch from git and records that. Git renames before the scan runs, so a child the scan missed already sees the new name, wherever the parent is. That check is best-effort and never fails the turn. If the parent's own update is rejected because it moved worktrees, the threads still on the original worktree are updated anyway. Storage cleanup and rows that are already stale are unchanged.

Verified on Blacksmith: the ThreadLaunchService, ProviderEventIngestor, ProviderSessionManager and runtimeLayer tests (255), server typecheck, and lint on the changed files pass, and each new regression fails without the change. On a dev server, a live Codex native subagent saved with the temporary name was corrected to the renamed branch from git, and an archived thread picked up the rename too. Claude native subagents are covered by the ingestion test only.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This production fix broadens background branch-renaming behavior across shared active and archived threads and adds Git-backed corrective events during native subagent ingestion. The behavior is well tested and schema-compatible, but its cross-thread synchronization and persistence effects warrant focused human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Temporary branch renames now update matching threads that share the worktree and old branch. Metadata updates can check an expected branch. New child threads inherit a parent’s branch when their worktree paths match, with a recheck after child creation.

Changes: Shared-Worktree Branch Consistency

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expected-branch guard packages/contracts/src/orchestrationV2.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts	The metadata update command accepts an optional nullable expectedBranch. The orchestrator rejects an update when the expected branch differs from the thread’s current branch.
Shared-worktree branch propagation apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLaunchService.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ThreadLaunchService.test.ts	After a temporary branch rename, the launch service attempts to update the parent and repeatedly scans active and archived threads that share the worktree and old branch. Updates use expected-value guards. Tests cover parent movement, archived threads, unrelated threads, and stale-update rejection.
Child branch inheritance apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderEventIngestor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProviderEventIngestor.test.ts	When a new child and its parent have the same worktree path, event ingestion assigns the parent’s branch to the child. It rechecks the parent after creation and synchronizes the child branch if needed. Tests cover Codex and Claude children with shared, isolated, and null worktree paths, including creation during a rename scan.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 36dae

A transient branch-synchronization failure can stop an otherwise healthy run after its child thread has been created. Resolve this failure path before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 36dae

The changes are narrowly scoped and protect against stale branch updates. No introduced security exploit was established. A remaining failure-containment concern is that branch synchronization can fail after a child is saved and terminate the parent operation without guaranteed repair.

Retained concerns

• Low · reliability · inferred: A branch recheck or synchronization failure can terminate the provider operation after child creation has committed. Creation and reconciliation are not atomic, and an identical repeated creation can be suppressed before reconciliation runs. This couples ancillary metadata repair to the parent operation’s lifecycle without an evidenced durable repair guarantee.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — Propagation is not restricted to descendants: its target set is every active or archived row returned by the server snapshot with the captured worktree path and old branch. Per-target guards exclude rows whose metadata changed before dispatch.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — No introduced attacker-controlled path to broader tool or filesystem authority was established. The production change reconciles branch metadata through existing ingestion, while the two test-file entrypoint signals concern regression fixtures and mocks rather than newly exposed production handlers.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Initial ingestion retains optional provider-owner/current-run checks. Rejected checks return no stored creation event, preventing reconciliation. The follow-up uses an unconditional write, but only after a committed creation and a same-worktree parent lookup, within the child lock.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The remaining concern is failure containment rather than demonstrated privilege escalation: synchronization errors can fail the run or release the provider session while the saved child remains. No durable repair after that partial commit was established.
