…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.

… 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. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmLFihnhebmL9bbbojGYCR
…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. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmLFihnhebmL9bbbojGYCR

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.

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],
};

Summary
GitWatcherused 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 viawatchWorkspace()/unwatchWorkspace()— a workspace is watched exactly while a client (or an internal caller) holds interest in it.git:watch/git:unwatchWS commands, a matching refcountedwatchGit/unwatchGiton the client event bus, anduseWorkspaceEvent'sgit:changedcase driving it on mount/unmount (coversuseGitStatusanduseDiffStatsfor free).Why / Context
Filed as #6729: terminal input lag when several workspaces/agents are active at once, traced to
GitWatcherfanning 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,
GitWatcherattached 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.fs:watch/fs:unwatchpattern almost exactly (client-side refcount → wire command → server-sideGitWatchercall), so it reuses an already-proven shape rather than inventing a new one.1f5f04d8d) fixes bugs a code review caught before merge:attachWatcher()'s async DB lookup +git rev-parsesubprocess could complete afterunwatchWorkspace()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.rescan()'s cleanup for archived/deleted workspaces skipped clearingdebounceTimers/pendingBatches, so a pending debounce could still fire agit:changedfor a workspace that no longer exists. Routed through the samestopWatching()helper used elsewhere, which clears both.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, butwatchGit/unwatchGitnow carry real host-side cost (DB lookup + subprocess + livefs.watchattach/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

PullRequestRuntimeManagercallwatchWorkspace()for every project workspace it manages: its 5-minute safety-net sweep (syncWorkspaceBranches) already queries the DB directly and is fully independent ofGitWatcher'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.fs:watchrefcount pattern instead of a shared generic helper: the codebase already has 2-3 independent copies of this refcount idiom (clientfsWatchedWorkspaces, serverfsSubscriptions, nowgitWatchedWorkspaces/gitSubscriptions). Introducing a sharedrefCount<K>()helper is a legitimate follow-up, but doing it as part of this PR would expand the blast radius into the already-shippedfs:watchcode. Deferred.Known Limitations
DashboardSidebarWorkspaceStatusProviderstill 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 callswatchGitfor every row it renders to keep diff-stat chips live — including rows in collapsed sidebar sections (it doesn't filterisCollapsedthe wayselectableWorkspaceIdselsewhere 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.git:watchbefore 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.fs:watchalready) — a half-open dead socket reconnecting could theoretically double-count interest briefly. Not introduced by this PR; not addressed here.Follow-ups

Previously every non-archived workspace was watched; now nothing is watched untilgit:watchraises interest and a workspace is watched only while its refcount > 0, cutting background git work and input lag (#6729).
