What & why

Fixes #640. A session bound to a ready managed worktree can now launch a terminal in that checkout. Previously, terminal open/exec validated against the parent workspace root and rejected the session's own worktree. Omitted and relative cwd now resolve from the bound checkout.

The daemon resolves the exact session/workspace/profile and active run generation, then verifies the worktree owner profile and readiness through the existing resolver. Expected session/worktree refusals retain stable native and HTTP terminal error codes. Parent checkouts, sibling directories, workspace add_dirs and symlink escapes cannot expand a bound session's launch directory.

How you verified it

  • make gate passed with zero lint findings and all affected race-enabled daemon, terminal and bundled-skill suites passing.
  • Named regression cases exercise open, exec and agent pipe default/relative/absolute cwd, parent/sibling and extra-root rejection, symlink escapes, foreign worktree profiles/runs, stale generation, and missing/mismatched worktrees. Assertions cover exact domain errors plus native tool codes and HTTP status projection. The ACP terminal conformance suite also passed.
  • Isolated native-session replay: parent cwd rejected; a lifecycle server started with omitted cwd in the bound worktree; its owner, cwd and health matched; a single fixture edit was reflected in a second health response. The owner-checked stop exited the managed terminal with code 0 and the health port refused connections.

Impact

  • Native tools / CLI / HTTP / UDS: existing terminal open/exec share the corrected domain resolution; tool IDs, routes and request schemas stay unchanged. Agent-owned ACP pipes enforce the same binding, including rejection of extra allowed roots; human launches and system-owned pipe execution keep their directory rules.
  • Extensibility/hooks/config: no new key, permission, hook or SDK surface.
  • Workspace data isolation: root selection comes from trusted active-session identity and the exact ready worktree; no client-supplied root or persistent migration. This validates cwd; it does not add filesystem sandboxing or change same-profile shared terminal control.
  • Web/Docs/official skill: no Web component changes; terminal safety documentation, the official terminal reference and the existing session-worktree lifecycle QA scenario are updated. This is the change-impact audit for this PR.
  • Risk/rollback: an unavailable or stale session/worktree denies launch before spawning. Reverting restores the previous workspace-root behavior without changing stored data.

  • make gate passes locally; this PR is delivered only after its required CI checks are green
  • New or changed behavior is covered by tests, or I explained above why not
  • If an agent wrote or co-wrote this, I named it above and verified the result myself

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security & Reliability
    • Terminal sessions now run within the authorized worktree for the active agent session.
    • Requests to access directories outside the authorized worktree—including parent, sibling, and symlinked paths—are rejected.
    • Workspace, profile, run, and session identity checks prevent access from stale or mismatched sessions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Terminal open and execute operations now consistently enforce the resolved working-directory boundaries.

Walkthrough

The change adds daemon-backed, profile-aware execution-root resolution for agent terminal sessions. Open, Exec, and Pipe operations use the resolved worktree root and normalize binding, lifecycle, and backend errors.

Changes

Terminal execution-root binding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Execution-root resolver and daemon wiring
internal/terminal/options.go, internal/terminal/manager.go, internal/daemon/terminal_boot.go
The terminal service accepts an execution-root resolver. Daemon startup supplies the daemon-backed resolver.
Profile-aware worktree resolution and error mapping
internal/daemon/session_worktree_resolver.go, internal/daemon/terminal_execution_root.go, internal/daemon/boot_worktrees_test.go
The daemon filters worktree bindings by profile and maps missing, inactive, pending, cancelled, and unavailable states to typed terminal errors. Tests assert native errors, HTTP statuses, and terminal error codes.
Agent terminal workspace enforcement
internal/terminal/manager_open.go, internal/terminal/manager_exec.go, internal/terminal/manager_pipe.go, internal/terminal/manager_test.go
Open, Exec, and Pipe operations pass actor identity to workspace resolution. Agent requests use the bound root, while cwd validation rejects parent, sibling, and symlink escapes without starting a process.

Greptile Summary

Agent terminals now use the active session’s ready worktree as their working directory. The daemon checks the session and run identity first, so bound sessions can launch in their checkout while invalid or escaping paths are rejected before a process starts.

  • Resolves terminal roots from the exact session, profile, run, generation, and ready worktree.
  • Applies the bound root to terminal open, exec, and agent-owned pipe launches.
  • Keeps relative paths inside the worktree and rejects parent, sibling, add_dirs, and symlink escapes.
  • Adds coverage and documents the new session-worktree directory rules.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge. The earlier profile, error, and QA gaps are fixed.

Agent terminal launches use the active session’s ready, profile-owned worktree and reject broader paths before process start. All three earlier findings are fully fixed.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
internal/daemon/terminal_execution_root.go resolveTerminalExecutionRoot checks the session, workspace, profile, active run, generation, and ready worktree. It maps failures to stable terminal errors.
internal/daemon/session_worktree_resolver.go ResolveSessionWorktreeForProfile rejects a worktree owned by another profile before returning its root.
internal/terminal/manager_open.go Agent launches replace the workspace root with the trusted session worktree root and drop broader extra directories.
internal/terminal/manager_pipe.go Agent-owned ACP pipes use the same worktree root check as open and exec. System-owned pipes keep their prepared roots.
docs/qa/scenarios/RT-session-worktree-lifecycle.md The QA scenario records the terminal lifecycle result and names the tests covering paths, profiles, runs, and errors.

In `@internal/daemon/boot_worktrees_test.go`:
- Around line 359-360: Update the rejection test cases in the boot worktree
tests to include a wantErr value, and replace the generic err == nil check with
errors.Is(err, wantErr). Assert the specific expected errors ErrNotFound,
ErrGenerationFenced, and worktree.ErrMissing for their respective cases while
preserving the existing root-binding validation.

In `@internal/terminal/manager_pipe.go`:
- Line 35: Update the call to resolveOpenWorkspace to pass &request.Actor
instead of nil, preserving the existing request context and allowed roots. This
ensures ACP agent requests undergo the actor-bound execution-root check while
relying on resolveOpenWorkspace’s existing handling for non-agent actors.

In `@internal/terminal/manager_test.go`:
- Line 82: Update the test cases around the loops over requested working
directories in the relevant test functions to run each value through a named
t.Run subtest using the “Should ...” naming pattern. Preserve the existing
assertions and test behavior while ensuring failures identify the requested cwd
case.
- Line 105: Update the rejected-cwd assertion around launch to use errors.As to
extract the terminal *Error, then assert its Code equals ErrorCodeInvalidCwd
instead of relying on errors.Is(err, ErrInvalidCwd).

Addressed all seven review findings in 1f5dc34: enforced worktree profile ownership and agent-pipe containment, preserved native/HTTP error codes, added named cases with exact error assertions, and linked the recorded lifecycle QA evidence. make gate and ACP terminal conformance passed. Review threads are resolved; current-head CI remains the delivery gate.
