fix: allow checkout/switch to protected branch when working tree is clean - #485
Conversation
… clean The checkout/switch deny only ever blocked benign 'return to main' cases -- the remote default branch is already protected independently by the push arm's unconditional deny, regardless of how an agent got checked out to it locally. Thread a working_tree_clean check (resolved via I/O only for checkout/switch onto the protected branch, reusing doctor::is_dirty) into classify_pure so a clean tree passes through and a dirty one still denies, unchanged from today. Also splits classify.rs's test module out into classify_tests.rs (mirroring the existing worktree.rs/worktree_tests.rs split) to stay under the repo's 2000-line file cap.

ChangesProtected branch classification
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change permits checkout or switch to a protected branch when the working tree is clean, but a failure to determine working-tree state can currently be treated as clean and bypass the protection. That creates a concrete merge-readiness risk, and the dirty-tree test should more directly verify the guard condition. Possibly related PRs

The clean-tree checkout/switch passthrough this PR adds to classify.rs means these three integration tests were passing checkout/switch to master unconditionally on a clean tree, masking the agent-bypass, deadline, and escape-hatch logic they're actually meant to exercise. Dirty the tree first so the protected-branch guard is genuinely in play for the deny assertions.

…kout guard is_dirty()'s unwrap_or(false) is fine for doctor's diagnostic use, but a failed 'git status --porcelain' fed straight into the protected-branch checkout guard as 'not dirty' -- an unreadable tree state silently waved a protected-branch checkout through instead of blocking it. Split out is_dirty_checked() (None on failure) and use it in classify.rs so the guard treats an unknown status as dirty. Flagged by CodeRabbit on this PR.
