Stale worktrees accumulate under branches/ when runs stop early, race a
sibling session, hit a validation failure, or lose cwd state, making later
workflow decisions harder and riskier.
Changes:
- worktree_cleanup_audit.py — ownership metadata, safety-first classifier
(active_open_pr, active_issue_work, dirty_local_worktree,
clean_stale_removable, detached_review_leftover, unsafe_unknown), TTL
expiry, per-worktree removal proof, and success-completion cleanup plan.
Only clean_stale_removable and detached_review_leftover are removable;
dirty/PR/leased/protected/unknown worktrees are never auto-deleted.
- gitea_audit_worktree_cleanup — read-only MCP tool that classifies every
branches/ entry, fetches live open-PR heads (fails closed if unavailable),
and returns counts, removable candidates, and git worktree list proof.
- work-issue.md 22A + review-merge-pr.md 28 — cleanup/TTL workflow rules.
- tests/test_worktree_cleanup_audit.py — 30 cases covering all nine
acceptance scenarios plus inference, metadata, TTL, and report accuracy.
Validation:
/Users/jasonwalker/Development/Gitea-Tools/venv/bin/python \
-m unittest tests.test_worktree_cleanup_audit tests.test_merged_cleanup_reconcile -q
38 passed.
