🔴 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.

🔴 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.

P1 Badge Protect current files when pruning stale head aliases

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.

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.

applyRemoteSnapshotDeletesRev and applyRemoteDelete so a stale GitHub record is
removed from sync state without deleting the local path when another tracked
record, such as the current-head record, owns that same path. Detect the other
tracked record before applying the filesystem deletion, preserve the path, and
add a regression case covering equal content from a prior bootstrap.
