In `@crates/giskard-server/src/routes.rs`:
- Around line 459-480: Move the forced worktree-removal loop identified by
remove_worktree_for_deleted_thread so it executes after registry.delete_project
succeeds but before store.delete_project. Preserve the existing project-scoped
forced cleanup behavior and error handling, ensuring thread files remain
available as the source of worktree paths until cleanup completes.
In `@crates/giskard-server/src/thread_graph.rs`:
- Around line 78-80: Update the missing-parent branch in the thread-graph
loading function to emit a warning before returning Ok(None), matching the cycle
branch’s structured fields and including the missing parent_id. Preserve the
existing return behavior while adding enough project and thread context to
identify the dangling parent chain.
In `@crates/giskard-server/src/worktree.rs`:
- Around line 100-104: Update is_git_repository to return Result<bool,
WorktreeError> and propagate process-launch and timeout failures instead of
converting WorktreeError::Unavailable to false. Adjust create and its other call
sites to use the boolean only for a confirmed non-repository, while returning
the error so the start route preserves ApiError::Unavailable.
In `@crates/giskard-server/static/index.html`:
- Around line 321-324: Update the removeThreadWorktree paragraph to use a polite
live region, matching the existing accessibility pattern used by
removeThreadErr, so dynamically inserted deletion-impact text is announced
without interrupting the user.
In `@crates/giskard-server/tests/worktree.rs`:
- Around line 412-415: Update the worktree-list assertion in the relevant test
to check that the exact removed worktree path is absent, rather than searching
for the generic substring “wt”; use the existing temporary worktree path
variable and preserve the expectation that the main checkout may still appear.
In `@docs/api-endpoints.md`:
- Around line 59-62: Update the documentation for GET
/api/projects/{id}/threads/{thread_id}/deletion-impact to describe its 503
Unavailable response when worktree_deletion_impact cannot determine the deletion
impact. Clarify that 503 means the cost is unknown and must not be interpreted
as a successful 200 response with no summary, which means no work is at risk.
In `@docs/git-worktrees.md`:
- Around line 61-74: Update the worktree documentation to distinguish
repositories with an existing HEAD from unborn repositories: state that a new
worktree starts from HEAD when available, or from an orphan branch when the
repository has no commits. Adjust the “last commit” wording and related table
text so they remain accurate for both cases.
In `@specs/giskard-specification.md`:
- Around line 1988-1995: Update the canonical on-disk layout in §5.2 to include
projects/<project_id>/worktrees/<thread_id>/ alongside threads/, matching the
existing worktree.path schema and implementation. Keep the documented worktree
metadata unchanged.

Giskard-managed before deleting it; do not recommend unconditional deletion of
the named branch.

surrounding explanation to say “commits on no other ref” consistently instead of
“no other branch.” Also clarify that git branch -d may reject an unmerged branch

Acquire the project lifecycle lock before loading project state.
start_thread_with_message can load a project, wait for delete_project to remove it, then create a worktree and recreate the project directory when it saves the thread. Acquire the lock before load_config/load_project, and hold it through worktree creation, thread persistence, and start_turn. start_turn and the startup cleanup path do not acquire this lock, so this scope does not deadlock.

A thread can be started in its own linked worktree so its file changes never touch the project's checkout or another thread's. This is the Git half of that: creating and removing the worktree, restoring it after an archive, and answering what a removal would destroy. Three details are load-bearing and each is pinned by a test against a real repository. The Git directories are recorded from `git rev-parse` inside the new worktree rather than assembled from the project path, because a project directory can itself be a linked worktree, where `.git` is a pointer file and every path built from it is wrong. A repository with no commits is supported rather than refused: Git creates the worktree on an orphan branch and there is simply no base commit to record. And the count of commits that would be lost passes `--single-worktree`, because `--all` otherwise examines the HEAD of the very worktree being removed and so reports that nothing is at stake. The writable paths an isolated thread needs are an allow-list, and what it leaves out is the point: `config` and `hooks/` are code execution on the user's next Git command, outside any sandbox, and the shared directory's own index and HEAD belong to the project's checkout, where clobbering them destroys staged work that exists nowhere else.

`POST /threads/start` gains `worktree: bool`, the wire form of the draft toggle. When set, the worktree is created before the harness is opened, because it *is* the cwd the harness is opened against, and the thread records it so every later path agrees on where the thread works. Creation failure fails the whole request rather than falling back to the project's checkout. A thread that silently runs unisolated still looks isolated in the UI, which is the one outcome worse than an error naming what went wrong — so the message carries git's own wording, which names the branch or path that collided. Because the worktree exists before anything else can fail, every later failure in that handler unwinds it: a wrong thread id from the harness, a failed save, a refused turn. Otherwise a failed start leaves an empty checkout and a branch belonging to a thread that does not exist. Both ways back into a thread are covered, since reading the project's workspace in either would silently un-isolate it after a restart with nothing in the UI to say so: opening over HTTP, and attaching on a WebSocket subscribe. Each is pinned by a test that fails when its call site falls back to the project workspace.

The choice belongs to the draft and nowhere else: a thread's workspace is fixed the moment it exists, so the field is absent for open threads rather than shown disabled, and each draft opts in for itself instead of inheriting the last one's answer. Without a repository there is nothing to branch from, so the checkbox is disabled and says why. It lives in the turn picker, which already holds the other per-thread settings, and the closed chip reports it — "Build · Ask first · Worktree" — so the choice is visible without reopening the popover that set it. The hint is the part that earns its place. The row directly above the composer reports the project's changed files at the moment of the decision, so a worktree that silently starts from the last commit would have the agent open by reporting that the work in progress is missing. It now says so first: what it starts from, and that those changes stay in the project's checkout.

The status endpoint resolved the project's workspace and so always polled the user's checkout. For a thread isolated in a worktree that produced a row which was confidently wrong: it showed the project's branch and the project's changes, it never moved as the agent worked, and every file in it opened a diff from a tree the reader was not looking at. `git/status` and `git/diff` now take an optional `thread_id` and read that thread's workspace. They move together because the row and the diffs it opens are one surface, and the client sends one scope for both. An unresolvable `thread_id` is a 404, not a fall back to the project: handing back a different tree under the name of the one that was asked for is the confusion isolation exists to prevent. `load_thread` is scoped to its project, so a thread id from another project is unknown here too, which stops one project's endpoints reading through another's workspace. The browser's "is this a repository" cache is keyed by workspace rather than by project for the same reason — keyed by project, moving between an isolated thread and an ordinary one would answer for one workspace under the name of another.

Deleting an isolated thread now removes its worktree and the branch it started on. That branch is Giskard's own scaffolding, so it dies with the thread that owned it — which is also what keeps `giskard/worktree-*` refs from outliving the threads they belong to. Branches the agent created during the thread are deliberately left alone: they live in the shared repository and are the user's now. A worktree can hold the only copy of work, in two ways that are lost differently. The tree holds uncommitted edits; the branch may hold commits no other ref reaches. Either way it is gone for good, so the server refuses a plain delete that would destroy them and names what is at stake, and a new deletion-impact endpoint lets the confirmation card say the same thing while the question is still open rather than after the user has tried. The browser forces only when the card actually warned. Forcing every deletion would put the server's guard out of reach of the UI and discard a worktree that became dirty while the card was open; a 409 arriving anyway — the impact request had not answered, or the agent wrote something meanwhile — surfaces in the card and arms the next click. Deleting a project sweeps its worktrees unconditionally: that confirmation is project-scoped, and one thread's unfinished work must not strand the rest half-deleted.

The sharpest edge of this feature is that a worktree can hold the only copy of work, and the second sharpest is that a worktree is HEAD exactly — no .env, no node_modules, no target. Neither is inferable from the toggle, so both need prose. docs/git-worktrees.md covers what isolation is and is not (files isolated, repository shared), what does not come across and why the cold first build is deliberate rather than a gap, where the checkout and its branch live and why the branch name is opaque, which Git operations run unprompted and — the part users will actually hit — why branches checked out elsewhere need no rule of ours, with Git's four refusals quoted so the messages are recognisable. Then getting work out, what archive and delete do to the worktree and the branch, and the v1 limits, including the ones that are only honest to name: archiving leaves the checkout, sub-agents resolve to the project workspace, transcript file links are still project-scoped. Linked from the README's walkthrough beside the draft and Git-status steps, with the worktrees directory added to the storage layout; referenced from spec §7.1, which gains the worktree lifecycle and the persisted `worktree` record; and pointed at from AGENTS.md so the document is kept in step with worktree.rs.

A thread can be started in a linked Git worktree of its own, chosen once on the draft, so its file changes never touch the project's checkout or any other thread's. Everything Giskard resolves for that thread resolves to the worktree: the harness cwd on open, resume and reattach, the Git status row and its diffs, the file endpoints behind transcript paths, and saved plans. A sub-agent works in the worktree of the thread that spawned it and never gets one of its own.
The choice is an enum, not a flag
threads/starttakesgit_strategy, with two values today:shared— the project's own checkout. The default, what an omitted field means, and the only possibility when the workspace is not a Git repository.worktree— a linked Git worktree of the project's repository.Where a thread's working tree comes from has more than two possible answers — a checkout the thread genuinely owns, rather than a second view of the project's repository, is a different strategy again — so a boolean would have to be replaced rather than extended, and a client that had learned to send
truecould not be told about a third option. An unrecognized value is rejected rather than treated as the default: a client that asked for isolation and was silently given the shared checkout has no way to tell. The UI is a Git checkout picker on the draft for the same reason — the next strategy is an option in the list, not a second control.Scope: isolation only, no extra permissions
An isolated thread's sandbox is exactly an ordinary thread's. Isolation decides where a thread works; the permission preset still decides what it may do there.
Git commands writing the repository —
commit,branch,switch,merge— escalate to an approval prompt under Auto approve, just as they would for a thread with no worktree. Codex keeps.gitread-only inside a writable root, and a linked worktree's real Git directory lives under the project's.git/, outside the workspace root entirely.An earlier revision of this branch widened the Auto-approve sandbox with
.git/objects,.git/refs,.git/logs/refsandpacked-refsso commits would run unprompted. That commit has been dropped. A writable directory is writable, not append-only: it let an agent empty the shared object store or delete branches, destroying history for the project's checkout too, and it is not narrowable — Git picks object paths as it writes them, and a sandbox grants directories rather than append-only handles. Letting a thread do Git work unprompted needs a repository the thread genuinely owns, not a worktree sharing the project's; that is a separate design, and this PR does not block on it.So what lands here is the primary value — parallel threads that cannot collide on each other's files — with the security posture unchanged from an ordinary thread.
What's in it
worktree.rs— create, remove, branch deletion, and the two impact probes. Branches aregiskard/worktree-plus the first 13 characters of the lowercased thread ULID; checkouts live underprojects/{project_id}/worktrees/{thread_id}in Giskard's data directory, never beside the project. Creation failure fails the start rather than silently falling back to the project's checkout.ThreadWorktreecarries both:pathis the checkout Git manages,workspaceis where the thread works. A project directory absent from the repository's committed content cannot be isolated, and says so.thread_workspace()plus a parent-chain walk for sub-agents.
