🔴 Multiple stale heads stall bootstrap
With more stale tracked records than current-head files, githubWorkingTreeRemotePathHasStaleHead excludes them only from remotePaths. snapshotDeleteUnsafe still counts them and rejects every authoritative pass below 50%. Bootstrap never completes.
Learn more
The strict traversal omits stale-head records from the fresh snapshot but leaves existing stale records in state.Files. The snapshot safety check compares the filtered current-head count against all reconcilable tracked records. If tracked state contains multiple historical heads per working-tree file, this ratio remains below the default 50% floor on every retry. The function then returns before snapshot reconciliation and before markBootstrapComplete, so no pass can remove the stale records or finish bootstrap.
Example: A failed earlier bootstrap tracked 100 current records and 200 records from two older heads. The fixed traversal produces 100 remotePaths, but snapshotDeleteUnsafe(100) compares against 300 tracked files and blocks the pass. Every retry repeats the same 100-to-300 comparison instead of completing.
Recommended fix: Exclude records identified by githubWorkingTreeRemotePathHasStaleHead from the tracked baseline for this strict snapshot, or explicitly retire stale tracked records through a safe reconciliation path before applying the shrink-ratio guard. Preserve the existing guard for genuinely truncated current-head listings.

🔴 Head changes corrupt resumed verification
When HeadSHA changes during resumed bootstrap, githubWorkingTreeRemotePathHasStaleHead switches filtering without resetting the checkpoint. BootstrapStrictFilesSeen retains old-head files, while the persisted cursor can skip earlier new-head records. The mixed count can complete an incomplete mount.
Learn more
A strict checkpoint consists of a tree cursor, page offset, directory frontier, and the number of accepted files already traversed. The manifest loader can replace githubWorkingTree.HeadSHA and GithubWorkingTreeFilesExpected on each tar-seed attempt at pullRemoteFullGithubTarSeed. The new filter then evaluates the remaining traversal against the new head, but checkpoint restoration restores the old count and cursor unchanged. If the server keeps that cursor valid, new-head records located before it are never visited, while old-head records already counted remain in the strict total.
Example: Head A processes two of four files and persists a cursor. Before the next cycle, head B also declares four files and inserts two B records before that cursor. The resumed cycle keeps A's count of two, counts two B records after the cursor, reaches four, and marks bootstrap complete without materializing the two earlier B records.
Recommended fix: Detect a manifest head change before overwriting GithubWorkingTreeHeadSHA. For an incomplete bootstrap, invalidate the entire bounded-tree checkpoint and strict counters so traversal restarts from the root under the new head and denominator. Persist the reset before falling back to pullRemoteFullTree.

When state.Files already contains path@oldsha.json and the current path@head.json has identical content, this skip leaves the old key absent from remotePaths. On the next advancing full-tree confirmation, applyRemoteSnapshotDeletesRev treats that key as deleted, and applyRemoteDelete maps it to the same working-tree path as the current record; because the hashes match, it removes the current local file. A watcher can then propagate that deletion upstream. Remove the stale state entry without deleting its shared local path, or recognize that the local path is still represented by the current-head record.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Stale skip deletes live files
High Severity
Skipping stale revision-suffixed records leaves previously tracked @sha paths out of remotePaths. The snapshot delete pass then treats those records as removed and can delete the shared local working-tree file when its hash still matches the stale entry.

Preserve the local path when deleting a stale GitHub record.
applyRemoteSnapshotDeletesRev treats the old record as missing after the current-head record materializes the same local path. applyRemoteDelete can then remove src/app.ts when its content still matches the old hash, even though the current-head record still tracks that path. Detect the other tracked record and remove only the stale state entry. Add a regression case with equal content from a prior bootstrap.

The mounted tree contained current complete-v1 clone metadata plus older revision-suffixed content records. This fix makes the bounded full-tree path match tar-seed snapshot behavior by considering only records for the manifest HEAD SHA.Note
Medium Risk
Changes GitHub mount initial full-tree bootstrap and strict file accounting; incorrect filtering could skip valid files or leave stale data, though scope is narrow and covered by a dedicated test.
Overview
Strict complete-v1 GitHub full-tree bootstrap now skips file and symlink tree entries whose remote paths are stale
@sharecords for the same working-tree path (mapped in the clone manifest but not suffixed with the currentHeadSHA).A new helper,
githubWorkingTreeRemotePathHasStaleHead, identifies those paths; the bounded traversal applies the skip in both the chunk-sizing loop and the per-entry materialization loop whenstrictCompleteGithubSourceis on. That aligns strict bootstrap with tar-seed behavior so old revision objects are not tracked or written, and strict file counts match the manifest instead of failing or pulling wrong content.Regression test
TestCompleteGithubTreeStrictTraversalIgnoresStaleHeadRecordsasserts only current-head objects are tracked and local files reflect HEAD content.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit cef3c2a. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
