Problem

A named-project scaffold can be interrupted after another project
registers its claimed folder. Cleanup then recursively removes that
project's workspace and leaves its record pointing at missing data.

Change

Route both failure paths through one ownership check. Cleanup removes
the folder only when no project owns it, and keeps it if the lookup
fails.

Scope and approval

This is a small, focused fix for an obvious destructive race. It only
changes failed named-project cleanup and adds a regression test, so it
qualifies for the documented focused-bug exception.

Verification

• Before the fix, the regression failed because the owner file vanished.
• After the fix, the focused regression passes.
• Full ManagedProjectFolders.test.ts: 13/13 tests pass.
• vp run check:changed: all checks pass.

Walkthrough

The change adds a workspace ownership check under a workspace lock. Named-project creation uses the check to guard folder cleanup after failures. Tests cover registration races, project conflicts, and cancellation while another project claims the workspace.

Changes: Workspace ownership and cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Locked workspace ownership check apps/server/src/project/ProjectService.ts, apps/server/src/project/ProjectService.test.ts	ProjectService adds whileWorkspaceUnowned, which normalizes the workspace root, acquires its lock, and runs the supplied effect only when no active owner exists. Project-command planning also normalizes a defined workspace root inside the lock. A concurrency test checks that the effect waits for registration and does not run after the workspace becomes owned.
Named-project cleanup apps/server/src/project/ManagedProjectFolders.ts, apps/server/src/project/ManagedProjectFolders.test.ts	Named-project creation uses whileWorkspaceUnowned before cleanup after preparation failures and project-creation errors, except ProjectConflictError. Tests check that cleanup leaves an owned folder in place after conflicts and cancellation.

Priority: Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

• pingdotgg/t3code#23237 concerns project creation when the destination folder already belongs to another project. This change protects the folder from cleanup in that conflict path.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 3904367

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped server bug fix that prevents failed named-project creation from recursively deleting a workspace claimed by another project, with a regression test covering the race. Its runtime impact is confined to cleanup after failed creation or cancellation, with no product-default or static-analysis changes.

@parmartejass, i kept your commits and the ownership check under the registration lock, including the conflict-specific cleanup skip. i merged current main without rebasing, resolved the comment conflict, added coverage for cleanup winning the lock before registration, and updated two service mocks required by newer main. no production behavior from your fix was dropped.

verification at ba80b3b80d5e0d1a3d5946092efeae4669dd8566:

• reproduced the original cancellation bug with main's cleanup: the other project's file was deleted.
• proved the reverse-order regression fails without lock-held workspace revalidation and passes with it.
• blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, both knip checks, graphql generation, affected server/scripts typechecks, and all 88 tests in five existing files.
• two independent read-only reviews approved this head with no findings.

unverified: full github ci and interactive client flows. github ci run 40314410616 ended action_required before any jobs ran; fork workflow approval is needed. coderabbit's new review is rate-limited, so its displayed success covers the earlier head. the branch now has no merge conflicts. this is a server-only cleanup change with no ui changes or screenshots.

Verified in a real dev environment

reproduced the original bug on github/main (c677d5fc45) using the real web client, playwright from the repo, and /usr/bin/google-chrome. both installs used vp i, with isolated empty app state and no mocks or demo data.

through add project > new project, i created "owned race". a task-scoped real git post-index-change hook held scaffolding beyond the existing 10-second git add timeout. before it timed out, a second browser tab registered that folder through add project > local folder. the database confirmed an active owner. cleanup still deleted the folder. submitting a thread with codex gpt-6.1-sol then failed with "workspace folder no longer exists" before the provider session could open.

runtime command transcript

Not verified

the pr fix is unverified. i checked out exact head ba80b3b80d5e0d1a3d5946092efeae4669dd8566, installed dependencies, and started its background dev server after stopping main. it logged listening on server port 13773 and web port 5733, but its ui did not become usable in this attempt. playwright timed out waiting for add project, then reported "target page, context or browser has been closed". the vm clock advanced from approximately 09:42 to 11:35 during stalled tool/browser work. server logs include a 677605 ms event-loop stall, exceeding this task's 10-minute stall limit. the cause is unknown; this is not evidence that the cleanup fix is broken.

pr cleanup protection, ordinary named-project creation, unowned-folder cleanup, a successful real codex turn, and lock-order behavior remain unverified. native desktop/mobile and macos/windows were not exercised.

blacksmith's focused existing project/folder test command timed out with exit 124 after worker setup/source sync, with no test result. cafe reports seven successful check contexts, but that does not establish runtime correctness.

the uploaded recording was inspected; playback advanced and seeking to four seconds succeeded with no player error.

no source changes, commits, pushes, labels, or other prs were touched. both dev servers are stopped, the browser session ended, and the temporary git setting was removed. verification needs another attempt on a responsive vm.
