Problem

The Friday retention automation still passes on a stale, empty workspace after
the closed twin. The gate resolves the canonical retention workspace from the
first git worktree list entry, which is only conventionally the main
worktree. When the main worktree is detached (or routinely on a feature branch,
as on this machine), the first entry can be a stale, empty twin that merely
holds refs/heads/main — the gate then inspects the twin's empty state roots
and passes while real client records live in the main worktree.

Root cause (live state)

  • Main worktree /home/nish/workspaces/products/tinystudio-in owns .git,
    currently on chore/pin-required-verifiers (reflog shows daily checkouts).
  • Twin /home/nish/workspaces/products/tinystudio-in-autonomous-service holds
    refs/heads/main at 24e516a (2026-08-06), 0 clients, 0 day0 prospects, no
    service-decisions / runs roots — stale and empty.
  • The canonical workspace runs pre-fix(retention): gate must target the git main worktree, not the twin holding main #105 gate code whose canonicalMainWorktree
    returns the worktree holding main = the twin.

Fix

Rewrite canonicalMainWorktree() to resolve the canonical workspace by
git-dir ownership: the main worktree is the entry whose
git rev-parse --git-dir equals the repository's common git dir. A linked
worktree always resolves under .git/worktrees/<name>, so a twin can never be
substituted. No list-order assumption, no branch-holder assumption.

Evidence

Fixed gate against the live repo now reports the main worktree with 3 real
clients and fails closed on the stale canonical workspace (exit 1), where the
old code hollow-passed on the twin's empty state.

node scripts/test-retention-automation.mjs passes, including the new
closed-twin regression assertion.

… not porcelain order

The Friday gate resolved the canonical retention workspace from the first
`git worktree list` entry, which is only conventionally the main worktree.
A detached main worktree leaves the first entry as a stale, empty twin that
merely holds `refs/heads/main` — the gate then inspects the twin's empty
state roots and passes while real client records live in the main worktree.

Resolve the canonical workspace by git-dir ownership instead: the main
worktree is the entry whose `git rev-parse --git-dir` equals the repository
common dir, never a linked worktree under `.git/worktrees/<name>`, and
never whichever worktree happens to hold the `main` branch.

Add a regression assertion to the closed-twin test that pins the canonical
workspace to the git-dir owner even when the twin heads the porcelain list.

Warning

Review limit reached

@nish3451, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 5 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used the included review currently available.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
