Follow-up to #193. These two fixes were pushed to that branch after it had already been merged, so they never landed — this puts them on main.

Symptom: a runbook consuming a local checkout sat on "Waiting for outputs from: clone_repo (repo_owner, org_id, repo_name, repo_id)", which reads as those outputs being unsupported for a local checkout. Three separate causes, all fixed here.

1. Remote resolution only ever looked at origin

GitClient.getInfo runs git remote get-url origin and swallows the failure. A checkout naming its remote something else — a fork whose upstream is the interesting one, a repo re-pointed after git init — yielded no remote, so no repo_owner/repo_name, and no org_id/repo_id either, since those are looked up from the owner and name.

inspectLocalRepo now falls back to whichever remote the repo does have. origin is still preferred, so remote order decides nothing in the common case. Verified against a real repo with only an upstream remote.

2. The GitHub ids need a token at confirm time

They're resolved once, when the checkout is confirmed, from the session token. Because selecting a checkout deliberately didn't wait on the linked auth block, confirming before authenticating produced a block permanently missing org_id/repo_id.

Confirming now waits on a linked auth block exactly as cloning does. The path field, folder picker, and inline repo check stay usable while auth is pending, since none of them need credentials.

3. The preview looked like a finished block ← the one users actually hit

The "is this a git repo?" check rendered in the same green success styling as the completed state — check icon, root, remote, branch, file count. But the preview passes register: false by design: nothing is registered and no outputs exist until Use This Repo is confirmed.

And a block that has produced no outputs makes computeUnmetOutputDependencies list every referenced name rather than just the missing ones — which is exactly the four names above, and why it reads as "local checkout doesn't support these outputs" instead of "this block hasn't run".

The preview is now informational rather than success-styled (green reserved for the completed state) and says outright: "Not in use yet — choose Use This Repo to make this repository and its outputs available to later blocks." The no-remote warning now names the outputs that go missing with it.

Testing

993 backend + 606 web tests pass; typecheck, lint, and just test-docs clean. New coverage: the non-origin remote fallback, auth gating the confirm while leaving the form usable, and the preview stating it isn't in use yet. Docs updated — the local source no longer claims to need no credentials.

Confirmed working end to end in a dev build against a GitHub SaaS checkout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Local repository browsing and validation can now continue while authentication is pending.
    • Repository discovery falls back to another configured remote when origin is unavailable.
    • Repositories without remotes remain selectable, with unavailable metadata clearly indicated.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented local repositories from being marked as in use before confirmation.
    • Improved authentication guidance for local and remote repository flows.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified remote fallback behavior, authentication requirements, and metadata limitations.

Also bumps package.json 0.21.0 → 0.21.1, so these fixes ship as a patch release on top of #193.

… a clone

Two ways a local checkout silently came up short of the clone path's outputs,
leaving downstream blocks stuck on "Waiting for outputs from: … (repo_owner,
org_id, repo_name, repo_id)".

Remote resolution only ever looked at `origin` (GitClient.getInfo). A checkout
that names its remote something else — a fork whose upstream is the interesting
one, a repo re-pointed after `git init` — yielded no remote at all, so there was
no repo_owner/repo_name, and no org_id/repo_id either, since those are looked up
from the owner and name. inspectLocalRepo now falls back to whichever remote the
repo does have. `origin` is still preferred, so remote order decides nothing in
the common case.

The org/repo ids are resolved once, at confirm time, from the session token.
Because selecting a checkout deliberately didn't wait on the linked auth block,
confirming before authenticating produced a block permanently missing org_id and
repo_id. Confirming now waits for the auth block exactly as cloning does; the
path field, the folder picker, and the inline "is this a git repo?" check stay
usable while it's pending, since none of those need credentials.

Docs updated: the local source no longer claims to need no credentials, and the
no-remote caution now names the outputs that go missing with it.

…shed block

The "is this a git repo?" check rendered in the same green success styling as
the completed state — check icon, root, remote, branch, file count — so a
checked directory looked like a block that had run. It hasn't: nothing is
registered and no outputs exist until "Use This Repo" is confirmed, and a block
that has produced no outputs leaves every consumer reporting each referenced
name as missing ("Waiting for outputs from: clone_repo (repo_owner, org_id,
repo_name, repo_id)") — which reads as the outputs being unsupported rather than
the block being unfinished.

The preview is now informational rather than success-styled, green being
reserved for the completed state, and says outright that the directory is not in
use yet. The no-remote warning names the outputs that go missing with it.

Walkthrough

Local checkout inspection now falls back to a configured remote when origin is unavailable. Directory browsing remains available during authentication, while confirmation requires authentication and a valid repository preview. Documentation and tests reflect the updated metadata and UI behavior.

Changes

Local Git checkout flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fallback remote inspection
src/domain/git/local-repo.ts, src/domain/git/local-repo.test.ts
Local repository inspection selects origin or the first available remote. It parses the selected URL and returns owner and repository metadata. Tests cover an upstream-only repository.
Authentication-gated local confirmation
web/src/components/mdx/GitClone/GitClone.tsx, web/src/components/mdx/GitClone/components/LocalRepoForm.tsx, web/src/components/mdx/GitClone/__tests__/GitClone.local.test.tsx
Local directory browsing and validation remain available while authentication is pending. “Use This Repo” stays disabled until authentication and preview validation complete. Preview and no-remote messages use the updated wording and styling.
Local checkout output rules
docs/src/content/docs/authoring/blocks/GitClone.mdx
Documentation describes remote fallback, authentication-dependent confirmation, and omitted metadata for repositories without remotes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 33435

Local repository inspection may leave Git processes running after completion, which can accumulate resource usage during repeated use and affect service stability; this cleanup issue should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging. The remaining documentation updates are minor.

Poem

A remote steps in when origin is away,
The folder can open before auth says okay.
Preview stays honest, awaiting the cue,
Then GitClone unlocks “Use This Repo” for you.
No remote? Metadata quietly stays blue.

…e git queries

Three findings from the review of #195.

The docs said choosing a directory "reads it only" and in the same sentence that
it "registers the repo exactly as a clone would" — the contradiction at the
heart of the reported bug. Inspection and confirmation are now described as the
separate steps they are, including that a block which hasn't been confirmed has
produced nothing and leaves its consumers reporting missing outputs.

The integration paragraph still said a pull request opens against the checkout's
`origin` remote, which contradicts the new fallback two paragraphs below it. It
now says "the checkout's remote".

firstRemoteUrl spawned git without ever killing the child, so an interrupted
fiber would orphan it. Rather than plumbing a Scope through inspectLocalRepo and
the handler — which would leave this helper inconsistent with countFiles three
lines away, which has the same property and is shared with the clone path —
the shared readGitLines helper wraps its drain in Effect.ensuring(kill). Same
guarantee, no signature change, no interruption path exists today anyway: on the
normal path the process has already exited and the signal is a no-op.

* uptick to 0.21.2

* fix(GitClone): address review — spellcheck, best-effort hasCommits, unique input id

- docs: "colour" → "color" in GitClone.mdx. cspell runs US English and it
  was the only occurrence, so the whole Documentation Tests job failed
  before build or linkcheck ran.

- electron/main/ipc/git.ts: wrap the clone flow's hasCommits query in
  Effect.orElseSucceed(() => true), as every other caller already does.
  Bare, a failed query failed the whole git:clone program after the clone
  had already landed on disk — the user saw an error, the worktree was
  never registered, and the outputs were lost. Defaulting to true also
  matches the domain rule that an unreadable repo counts as having
  history, so nobody is offered a seeded branch by mistake.

- EmptyRepoWarning: derive the branch input's id from useId() instead of
  the literal "empty-repo-branch". Two GitClone blocks on empty repos in
  one runbook produced duplicate ids, so both labels pointed at the first
  input.
