Summary

  • GitWatcher used to register a live .git/ + worktree-root watcher for every non-archived workspace on host-service boot, regardless of whether anything had it open. It's now refcounted via watchWorkspace()/unwatchWorkspace() — a workspace is watched exactly while a client (or an internal caller) holds interest in it.
  • Wired end-to-end: new git:watch/git:unwatch WS commands, a matching refcounted watchGit/unwatchGit on the client event bus, and useWorkspaceEvent's git:changed case driving it on mount/unmount (covers useGitStatus and useDiffStats for free).
  • A second commit fixes three real bugs an independent review of the first commit surfaced (see "How It Works").

Why / Context

Filed as #6729: terminal input lag when several workspaces/agents are active at once, traced to GitWatcher fanning out git subprocess work for the entire non-archived workspace population — not just what's open. Heavy users accumulate hundreds of non-archived workspace records over time (closed tabs, old branches, never-archived experiments), so the watched set silently grows far past what's actually in use.

Verified live against this org's real dev data (90 non-archived workspaces): before this change, GitWatcher attached all 90 on boot. After, it attaches zero until something asks.

How It Works

  • GitWatcher.rescan() is no longer a re-registration pass — it's cleanup (drop watchers/interest for archived or deleted workspaces) + retry (re-attempt attaching for still-interested workspaces that failed earlier, e.g. worktree not ready yet). Both loops scale with the interested set, not the total workspace count.
  • The refcounting mirrors the existing fs:watch/fs:unwatch pattern almost exactly (client-side refcount → wire command → server-side GitWatcher call), so it reuses an already-proven shape rather than inventing a new one.
  • Follow-up commit (1f5f04d8d) fixes bugs a code review caught before merge:
    • Race: attachWatcher()'s async DB lookup + git rev-parse subprocess could complete after unwatchWorkspace() already dropped interest to zero, committing a watcher nobody wanted — leaked forever since only archival/deletion ever tore it down. Now rechecks interest immediately before committing.
    • Stale emission: rescan()'s cleanup for archived/deleted workspaces skipped clearing debounceTimers/pendingBatches, so a pending debounce could still fire a git:changed for a workspace that no longer exists. Routed through the same stopWatching() helper used elsewhere, which clears both.
    • Fan-out re-introduced: DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider's effect unwatched then rewatched every sidebar row whenever the target list changed at all — one workspace created/renamed/host-reassigned triggered a full cycle across every unrelated row. Harmless for the plain event-listener registrations in the same effect, but watchGit/unwatchGit now carry real host-side cost (DB lookup + subprocess + live fs.watch attach/teardown), so this was a scaled-down recurrence of the exact problem this PR fixes. Now diffs against the previous render's watched set.

Manual QA Checklist

  • Ran the real dev app (bun dev + CDP) against this org's live data (90 non-archived workspaces)
  • Confirmed GitWatcher attaches zero watchers on boot, before any UI interaction
  • Real mouse click (CDP Input.dispatchMouseEvent, not a synthetic .click()) into a workspace triggers a real watchWorkspace() call and a real attach with the correct worktree path
  • Host-service hot-restart (electron-vite watch) correctly re-populated watches via the client's reconnect-resend logic
  • Did not independently re-verify the full renderer → useGitStatus/useDiffStats → live diff-stat UI update path after the review-fix commit (verified once against the first commit; the review-fix commit doesn't touch that call path, only DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider's own diffing — see Known Limitations)

Testing

  • bunx tsc --noEmithost-service, workspace-client (clean); desktop has pre-existing, unrelated routeTree.gen errors in this worktree (missing generated file), confirmed absent for every file this PR touches
  • bunx biome check on all touched files (clean)
  • bun testhost-service: 1220 pass / 0 fail / 8 todo (was 1218 before this PR's 2 new regression tests); workspace-client: 13 pass / 0 fail
  • New regression coverage in git-watcher-lazy-registration.integration.test.ts (real sqlite db + real git repos, same harness as the sibling scaling test): nothing watched by default, watchWorkspace/unwatchWorkspace — not archival — drives membership, registration cost is paid only for what's watched, the unwatchWorkspace-during-in-flight-attach race doesn't leak, and archiving a workspace with a pending debounce doesn't emit a stale event. Each new test confirmed to fail against the pre-fix code and pass after.
  • Updated pull-requests-scaling.integration.test.ts's event-driven test, which implicitly relied on the old eager-watch behavior — now explicitly simulates "3 workspaces open in a renderer."

Design Decisions

  • Why not also make PullRequestRuntimeManager call watchWorkspace() for every project workspace it manages: its 5-minute safety-net sweep (syncWorkspaceBranches) already queries the DB directly and is fully independent of GitWatcher's watched set — so PR-sidebar freshness for a closed workspace degrades from near-instant to within 5 minutes, rather than needing its own permanent subscription that would defeat the point of this PR.
  • Why mirror the fs:watch refcount pattern instead of a shared generic helper: the codebase already has 2-3 independent copies of this refcount idiom (client fsWatchedWorkspaces, server fsSubscriptions, now gitWatchedWorkspaces/gitSubscriptions). Introducing a shared refCount<K>() helper is a legitimate follow-up, but doing it as part of this PR would expand the blast radius into the already-shipped fs:watch code. Deferred.

Known Limitations

  • DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider still watches nearly every sidebar row. Confirmed live: opening the dashboard alone (no workspace clicked) caused 79 of 90 non-archived workspaces to become watched, because that provider calls watchGit for every row it renders to keep diff-stat chips live — including rows in collapsed sidebar sections (it doesn't filter isCollapsed the way selectableWorkspaceIds elsewhere does). For a user who keeps the dashboard open (the common case), this is the actual ceiling on how much this PR helps in practice. This PR fixes the fan-out-on-any-change bug in that provider's effect, but doesn't change how much it watches — that's a separate product decision (e.g. relax to periodic refetch for non-active rows) flagged for a follow-up, not silently made here.
  • No per-client cap existed on git:watch before this PR; added one (2000, generous — real sidebars observed in the dozens/low hundreds) as a leak stop, not because it's expected to bind.
  • No WS keepalive/heartbeat exists anywhere in this transport (pre-existing, shared by fs:watch already) — a half-open dead socket reconnecting could theoretically double-count interest briefly. Not introduced by this PR; not addressed here.

Follow-ups

  • Redesign DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider's freshness strategy for non-active rows (periodic refetch instead of a live watch) to actually unlock this PR's benefit for the common "dashboard stays open" case.
  • Shared generic refcount helper to de-duplicate the fs:watch/git:watch client+server idiom.

Summary by cubic

Lazily registers GitWatcher only when a client asks, replacing eager boot-time registration. Previously every non-archived workspace was watched; now nothing is watched until git:watch raises interest and a workspace is watched only while its refcount > 0, cutting background git work and input lag (#6729). Rescan now tears down watchers for archived/deleted workspaces but leaves interest intact so transient gaps self-heal without a new watch.

  • Adds git:watch/git:unwatch WebSocket commands in EventBus with per-client refcounting and a 2000 cap; cleans up all watches on socket close, and clients resend active watches on reconnect.
  • Refactors GitWatcher to track interest counts, attach on first interest from DB, and tear down on last unwatch; rescan() only drops watchers for archived/deleted workspaces and retries attaches for still-interested ones, and no longer clears interest on transient archival/restores.
  • Fixes an attach race (no watcher committed once interest hits zero), emits a catch-up git:changed after attaching, clears pending debounce timers so archival can't emit stale events, and diffs watched rows in DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider to avoid unwatch/rewatch storms.
  • Updates useWorkspaceEvent and useGitChangeEvents to pair git:changed listeners with watchGit/unwatchGit; wildcard “*” listeners only receive events for workspaces already being watched.
  • Hardens client connection teardown: maybeCleanupConnection keeps the socket alive while any git/fs watch is active, and unwatchGit/unwatchFs/unwatchFsFile no longer strand a fresh, unretained connection.
  • Repairs profiling scripts and tests to send git:watch and mock .where().get(); adds integration coverage that interest survives transient archival and reattaches on restore.

Migration

  • If you subscribe to git:changed, call watchGit(workspaceId) on mount and unwatchGit(workspaceId) on unmount; without this, your listener will not fire.
  • “*” listeners receive events only for workspaces already watched by someone else; use per-workspace watchGit for guarantees.
  • No changes required for callers of useGitStatus, useDiffStats, or useWorkspaceEvent (now wired to watch/unwatch).

Written for commit 68a4267. Summary will update on new commits.

    • Dashboard workspace updates avoid redundant monitoring restarts.
    • Monitoring remains reliable when workspaces are temporarily archived or restored.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed Git change events not being delivered to active workspace listeners.
    • Improved reliability during workspace setup, cancellation, and reconnection.
    • Prevented stale or archived workspaces from emitting outdated notifications.

…ient interest

GitWatcher.start() registered a live `.git/` + worktree watcher for every
non-archived workspace in the DB on boot, regardless of whether anything was
open in a window. Heavy users accumulate hundreds of non-archived workspace
records over time (closed tabs, old branches, never-archived experiments),
so the watched set silently grows far past what's actually open, fanning out
git subprocess work on every change and contributing to terminal input lag
under concurrent load (#6729).

GitWatcher now exposes refcounted watchWorkspace()/unwatchWorkspace(); a
workspace is watched exactly while its interest count is positive. rescan()
is cleanup-and-retry only (drop watchers for archived/deleted workspaces,
retry attaching for still-interested ones that failed earlier), scaling
with the interested set instead of the full table.

Wired end-to-end: new git:watch/git:unwatch WS commands (event-bus.ts,
types.ts), a matching refcounted watchGit/unwatchGit on the client event bus,
and useWorkspaceEvent's git:changed case driving it on mount/unmount (covers
useGitStatus and useDiffStats for free). Also fixed three call sites that
talk to the bus directly and would otherwise have silently stopped receiving
git:changed events: DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider (preserves
today's behavior exactly — flagged as a follow-up product decision, since it
watches every sidebar row), the unused useGitChangeEvents hook, and two
host-service profiling scripts that relied on the old eager rescan.

Rewrote the integration test that previously documented the eager-watch
behavior into regression coverage proving the fix: nothing is watched by
default, watchWorkspace/unwatchWorkspace (not archival) drives membership,
and registration cost is now paid only for what's actually watched.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmLFihnhebmL9bbbojGYCR
Follow-up to f8422d8 (lazy GitWatcher registration). An independent review
of that commit surfaced three real bugs before it shipped:

- attachWatcher() never rechecked interest after its async DB lookup + `git
  rev-parse` subprocess. unwatchWorkspace() firing while that was in flight
  (fast tab close, effect re-run) left a live watcher committed anyway, with
  nothing but archival/deletion ever tearing it down — a slow-motion replay
  of the exact leak #6729 fixed. Now rechecked immediately before committing
  to `watched`, torn down instead if interest already dropped to zero.

- rescan()'s cleanup loop for archived/deleted workspaces duplicated
  stopWatching()'s teardown but skipped clearing debounceTimers/
  pendingBatches. A workspace archived while a debounce was pending could
  still emit a stale git:changed once that timer fired. Routed through
  stopWatching() instead of re-inlining the teardown.

- DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider's effect unwatched then rewatched
  every sidebar row whenever the target list changed at all — one workspace
  created/renamed/reassigned a host was enough to trigger a full
  unwatch+rewatch cycle across every other row. Harmless for the plain
  event-listener registrations in the same effect, but watchGit/unwatchGit
  now carry real host-side cost, so this reintroduced a scaled-down fan-out
  storm on every incidental sidebar-list change. Now diffs against the
  previous render's watched set and only touches rows that actually changed.

Also: capped git:watch subscriptions per client (mirrors the existing
fileWatches cap — a leak stop, not expected to bind in practice), logged
attachFromDb's previously-silent DB lookup failure, corrected rescan()'s
docstring (the cleanup scan itself is still O(non-archived workspaces), just
one cheap indexed SELECT — not the same cost as live watchers/subprocesses),
and added the missing settle delay to git-status-large-repo-profile.ts that
its sibling bench script already had.

Two new regression tests reproduce the attachWatcher race and the debounce-
leak, confirmed failing against the pre-fix code and passing after.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Git change events now use explicit, reference-counted workspace interest. Client watch commands control lazy GitWatcher attachment, cleanup, reconnect replay, and event delivery. Desktop integrations, benchmarks, and integration tests now use the explicit watch lifecycle.

Changes

Adds git:watch and git:unwatch commands. The workspace client manages reference counts and reconnect replay. Desktop hooks and the sidebar acquire and release workspace interest.
Host event-bus routing
packages/host-service/src/events/event-bus.ts
Validates Git watch commands, enforces per-client limits, dispatches registration changes, and releases subscriptions during client cleanup.
Lazy GitWatcher registration
packages/host-service/src/events/git-watcher.ts, packages/host-service/src/runtime/pull-requests/pull-requests.ts
GitWatcher attaches only to interested active workspaces. It tracks reference counts, handles stale workspaces, retries interested workspaces, and cancels attachment when interest is removed. Pull request synchronization relies on the safety-net sweep for unwatched workspaces.
Integration scenarios and profiling
packages/host-service/test/integration/*, packages/host-service/scripts/*
Adds coverage for lazy registration, reference counting, attachment races, stale events, and scaling. Profiling and benchmark scenarios explicitly register Git watch interest and support workspace lookup queries.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 68a42

This change makes Git watching demand-driven, reducing background work, but the current implementation can still emit stale Git updates after a workspace is unwatched, perform redundant attachment work during rapid subscription churn, and produce inaccurate profiling results in some runs. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and readiness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

… fixture leak

Two of CodeRabbit's review findings on #6848 were real:

- Both profiling scripts' fake HostDb mocks predate GitWatcher.attachFromDb's
  select().from().where(...).get() lookup and only supported the old bulk
  .all() the eager rescan used. The lookup threw, attachFromDb's catch
  swallowed it, and no watcher ever attached — both scripts silently measured
  zero watcher activity. Fixed by adding a .where(...).get()/.all() path:
  gitignored-churn-bench.ts has exactly one workspace so it's unconditional;
  git-status-large-repo-profile.ts has N, so it extracts the bound workspace
  id from the drizzle predicate the same way the adjacent findFirst mock
  already does (walking value/queryChunks only, never a column's circular
  table reference). Verified by actually running both scripts end-to-end:
  gitChangedEvents/actualRefreshes are nonzero now, zero before.

- git-watcher-lazy-registration.integration.test.ts's createScenario created
  a GitFixture for the project's repoPath but never stored or disposed it.
  Kept as its own variable (not pushed into `repos`, which stays index-
  aligned with `workspaceIds` for the debounce test that indexes repos[0])
  and disposed alongside the rest.

The third finding (event-bus.ts should filter git:changed delivery by
`gitSubscriptions` instead of broadcasting) is not addressed here — see PR
discussion.

…nt gap

rescan()'s cleanup dropped this.interest entries for any workspace missing
from its non-archived scan — but a workspace can be transiently absent
without any client losing interest in it (e.g. archived-then-restored via
the tombstone delete flow). A client that already sent one git:watch has no
reason to send it again, and won't unless it remounts or its socket
reconnects. Once interest was wiped, the retry loop (which only walks
interest.keys()) could never bring the workspace back on its own — the
watcher stayed unattached until an unrelated remount/reconnect, silently.

interest is now touched exclusively by watchWorkspace()/unwatchWorkspace().
rescan() still tears down the live watcher (the real resource) for a gone
workspace via stopWatching(), but leaves interest alone — a stale entry for
a workspace gone for good costs one Map entry, bounded by the per-client
git:watch cap, until the holding client unwatches or its socket closes.

New regression test: hold interest, archive the workspace (rescan tears
down the watcher, interest survives), restore it (rescan re-attaches via
the retry loop, no second watchGit needed). Confirmed failing against the
prior code, passing after.

Found via a second-pass review of #6848.

335-349: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate in-flight ignored-directory refreshes during teardown.

stopWatching() removes the timer and pending batch, but it does not invalidate an active refreshIgnoredDirs() call. If .gitignore changed, then archival or unwatchWorkspace() occurs while listGitIgnoredDirs() is pending, the continuation can call markGitDirDirty() after this cleanup. It then emits a stale git:changed event for the removed workspace.

Use the IgnoredDirsState map identity as a lifecycle token. Check that this.ignoredDirs.get(workspaceId) === state before mutating state, after await this.filesystem.refreshWatcherIgnores(...), and before scheduling the follow-up refresh. Add a regression test for archive during an in-flight ignore refresh.

…ained connection

Found by a review of #6856's cleanup-effect ordering, but pre-existing —
affects fs:watch too, and predates both #6848 and #6856.

getEventBus(hostUrl) unconditionally (re)creates a ConnectionState if none
exists in the shared `connections` map. unwatchGit/unwatchFs/unwatchFsFile
never called maybeCleanupConnection, unlike on()'s and retain()'s cleanups
— so a caller that only ever intends to *release* interest (never establish
it) could, if the connection's last retainer/listener already tore it down
moments earlier, silently mint a brand-new WebSocket connection just to
send an unwatch command, then leave it dangling forever: nothing else would
ever call maybeCleanupConnection for it again.

This is a real, reachable ordering hazard in a multi-effect component like
DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider: React runs effect cleanups in
declaration order (not reversed), so a "listener registration" effect's
cleanup releasing a connection's last retain/listener, followed by a
separate "release git-watch interest" effect's cleanup (or body, on a
mid-session workspace removal) calling unwatchGit for the same host, hits
this exactly.

Fix: unwatchGit/unwatchFs/unwatchFsFile now call maybeCleanupConnection
after releasing their own interest, mirroring on()'s and retain()'s
cleanups. Verified with a real WS server (no mocks): before the fix, a
release-only call after the connection's teardown opens a second real
upgrade that never closes; after the fix, maybeCleanupConnection fires

…ained connection

Found by a review of #6856's cleanup-effect ordering, but pre-existing —
affects fs:watch too, and predates both #6848 and #6856.

getEventBus(hostUrl) unconditionally (re)creates a ConnectionState if none
exists in the shared `connections` map. unwatchGit/unwatchFs/unwatchFsFile
never called maybeCleanupConnection, unlike on()'s and retain()'s cleanups
— so a caller that only ever intends to *release* interest (never establish
it) could, if the connection's last retainer/listener already tore it down
moments earlier, silently mint a brand-new WebSocket connection just to
send an unwatch command, then leave it dangling forever: nothing else would
ever call maybeCleanupConnection for it again.

This is a real, reachable ordering hazard in a multi-effect component like
DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProvider: React runs effect cleanups in
declaration order (not reversed), so a "listener registration" effect's
cleanup releasing a connection's last retain/listener, followed by a
separate "release git-watch interest" effect's cleanup (or body, on a
mid-session workspace removal) calling unwatchGit for the same host, hits
this exactly.

Fix: unwatchGit/unwatchFs/unwatchFsFile now call maybeCleanupConnection
after releasing their own interest, mirroring on()'s and retain()'s
cleanups. Verified with a real WS server (no mocks): before the fix, a
release-only call after the connection's teardown opens a second real
upgrade that never closes; after the fix, maybeCleanupConnection fires
synchronously and fast enough that the stray connection never even dials
out — confirmed via a standalone diagnostic script before writing the
regression test, so the test's "no upgrade" assertion isn't guesswork.

Invalidate pending ignored-directory refreshes.

Line 342 removes the map entry but does not invalidate an active refreshIgnoredDirs() continuation. If a .gitignore refresh is active when rescan() removes the workspace, and refreshWatcherIgnores() returns true, the continuation calls markGitDirDirty() at Line 427. It then emits git:changed after the watcher was removed.

Before each post-await mutation and before markGitDirDirty(), verify that the captured state is still this.ignoredDirs.get(workspaceId). A generation token is also valid.

- maybeCleanupConnection() now also guards on fsWatchedWorkspaces/
  fsWatchedFiles/gitWatchedWorkspaces, not just listeners/retainers —
  a still-active watch no longer lets a sibling effect's listener
  cleanup close the connection out from under it.
- GitWatcher.attachWatcher() emits one coalesced catch-up git:changed
  after a successful first attach, closing the async gap between
  watchWorkspace() and the watcher actually attaching.
- Documents (no code change) why PullRequestRuntimeManager
  deliberately never calls gitWatcher.watchWorkspace() itself: doing
  so would put every non-session workspace back under a permanent
  live watch, reintroducing #6729 from a different caller. Sync for
  an unwatched workspace intentionally rides the 5-minute safety net.

Validate --workspaces against the EventBus cap.

When --workspaces exceeds 2,000, EventBus rejects the extra git:watch requests. The profile’s socket ignores those error messages, so the missing watchers cause gitChangedEvents and actualRefreshes to under-report. Reject values above 2,000 or surface the errors.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the where() mock's fallback for predicates with no bound id.

rescan() in git-watcher.ts queries .select(...).from(workspaces).where(isNull(workspaces.archivedAt)).all(). That predicate contains no workspace-id equality. findBoundWorkspaceId returns undefined for it, so matched becomes [] at Line 861, and .all() returns an empty array.

GitWatcher's rescanTimer fires rescan() every RESCAN_INTERVAL_MS (30 seconds). Once it fires, rescan() reads existingIds as empty and calls stopWatching() for every currently attached workspace, since none of them can be in an empty set. Any profile run that lasts past the first automatic sweep silently loses all watchers, and the rest of the run measures a GitWatcher with nothing attached — the opposite of what this script exists to profile.

Fall back to all rows when no bound id is found. The only other caller of this mock, attachFromDb, always supplies a real, known workspace id in this script, so this fallback does not change that path's behavior.

🐛 Proposed fix
 where: (predicate: unknown) => {
   const matchedId = findBoundWorkspaceId(predicate, knownIds);
   const matched = matchedId
     ? workspaceRows.filter((row) => row.id === matchedId)
-    : [];
+    : workspaceRows;
   return {
     all: () => matched,
     get: () => matched[0],
   };
 },
