# Build Report: Worktree Artifact Path Mismatch — Prevention and Cleanup

**Created by:** AnaBuild
**Date:** 2026-05-08
**Spec:** .ana/plans/active/worktree-artifact-cleanup/spec.md
**Branch:** feature/worktree-artifact-cleanup

## What Was Built

- `packages/cli/src/commands/artifact.ts` (modified): Layer 1 — replaced error-and-exit block (lines 938-951) with auto-move logic. When `artifact save` finds the file on the main tree but not the worktree, it checks the file is untracked, then moves it (with EXDEV fallback via `moveFileCrossFs`). Companion file moves in the same block before companion discovery. Layer 2 — added post-save sweep after the git commit that removes untracked main-tree copies of the saved files. Added internal `moveFileCrossFs` helper.
- `packages/cli/src/commands/work.ts` (modified): Layer 3 — replaced monolithic auto-clean block with split strategy. `slugFiles` partitioned by `isBuildVerifyArtifact()` (checks `startsWith` on basename for `build_report`, `build_data`, `verify_report`, `verify_data`). Build/verify artifacts removed unconditionally; planning artifacts keep content-match guard.
- `packages/cli/templates/.claude/agents/ana-build.md` (modified): Layer 4 — added pwd hint before Build Report Format section.
- `packages/cli/templates/.claude/agents/ana-verify.md` (modified): Layer 4 — added pwd hint before Verify Report Template section.
- `.claude/agents/ana-build.md` (modified): Dogfood sync with shipped template.
- `.claude/agents/ana-verify.md` (modified): Dogfood sync with shipped template.
- `packages/cli/tests/commands/artifact.test.ts` (modified): 10 new tests for Layers 1 and 2 (auto-move, companion co-movement, tracked file guard, EXDEV fallback, post-save sweep, sweep skips tracked, sweep failure tolerance, slug scoping, non-worktree skip).
- `packages/cli/tests/commands/work.test.ts` (modified): 6 new tests for Layers 3 and 4 (build/verify unconditional removal, data companion removal, planning content-match guard, mixed split strategy, build template pwd, verify template pwd).

## PR Summary

- Auto-move artifacts from main tree to worktree when `artifact save` detects a wrong-tree write, with cross-filesystem fallback
- Post-save sweep removes stale main-tree copies after successful worktree commit
- Split auto-clean strategy in `work complete`: build/verify artifacts removed unconditionally, planning artifacts retain content-match guard
- Added `pwd` path hint to Build and Verify agent templates to prevent wrong-tree writes
- 16 new tests covering all four layers

## Acceptance Criteria Coverage

- AC1 "artifact save succeeds when report only on main tree" → artifact.test.ts "auto-moves report from main tree to worktree when file exists only on main" (3 assertions)
- AC2 "companion moves alongside report" → artifact.test.ts "auto-moves companion file alongside report from main tree" (2 assertions)
- AC3 "no stale copy on main after auto-move" → artifact.test.ts "auto-moves report from main tree..." mainCopyExists assertion (1 assertion)
- AC4 "build/verify artifacts removed without content-match" → work.test.ts "removes build/verify artifacts unconditionally during work complete" (1 assertion)
- AC5 "planning artifacts keep content-match" → work.test.ts "keeps content-match guard for planning artifacts during work complete" (1 assertion)
- AC6 "templates use pwd guidance" → work.test.ts "build template contains pwd path guidance" + "verify template contains pwd path guidance" (4 assertions)
- AC7 "only untracked files touched" → artifact.test.ts "does not move tracked files from main tree" + "post-save sweep skips tracked files on main tree" (2 assertions)
- AC8 "cleanup failure never fails save" → artifact.test.ts "post-save sweep failure does not fail the save" (2 assertions)
- AC9 "tests pass" → Full suite: 2009 passed, 0 failed
- AC10 "no build errors" → `pnpm run build` clean

## Implementation Decisions

- **`moveFileCrossFs` as internal helper:** Added as a private function in artifact.ts rather than a shared utility. It's only used by the auto-move logic — no other module needs it. If reuse emerges later, it can be extracted.
- **Companion move uses `deriveCompanionFileName`:** Reused the existing function to determine the companion filename. This ensures consistency with the companion discovery block downstream.
- **`isBuildVerifyArtifact` uses `startsWith` on basename:** Per spec's Gotcha, uses `startsWith` on the basename rather than substring match on full path. This prevents false matches on planning artifacts.
- **Layer 2 sweep uses same `spawnSync` pattern:** Matches the existing untracked-check pattern for consistency.
- **Dogfood templates synced:** The template sync test (`agent-proof-context.test.ts`) requires shipped and dogfood templates to match. Updated both in the same commit.

## Deviations from Contract

### A005: Cross-filesystem moves fall back to copy-then-delete
**Instead:** Verified the copy+delete pattern works at the filesystem level rather than mocking `renameSync` to throw EXDEV
**Reason:** ESM built-in module exports (`node:fs`) have non-configurable properties — `vi.spyOn` cannot override `renameSync`. Direct property assignment throws `TypeError: Cannot redefine property`.
**Outcome:** The EXDEV fallback code path exists in `moveFileCrossFs` and follows the standard Node.js pattern. The test verifies the copy+delete mechanism works correctly. The integration path (rename succeeds) is fully covered by the A001 test. Functionally equivalent — verifier should assess.

## Test Results

### Baseline (before changes)

### Comparison
- Tests added: 15
- Tests removed: 0
- Regressions: none

### New Tests Written
- `packages/cli/tests/commands/artifact.test.ts`: 10 new tests in "worktree auto-move and sweep" describe block — auto-move from main tree, companion co-movement, tracked file guard, EXDEV fallback, post-save sweep (stale removal, tracked skip, failure tolerance), slug scoping, non-worktree skip
- `packages/cli/tests/commands/work.test.ts`: 4 new tests in "work complete auto-clean split strategy" — unconditional build/verify removal, data companion removal, planning content-match guard, mixed split strategy; 2 new tests in "agent template pwd hints" — build and verify template pwd checks

## Verification Commands

## Open Issues

- **A005 EXDEV fallback not directly exercised in integration test.** The `moveFileCrossFs` function handles EXDEV correctly (copy+delete), but the test cannot force the EXDEV error through ESM module mocking. The code path is structurally verified but not triggered end-to-end.
- **Layer 2 sweep runs on every build-verify save.** The sweep checks every file for existence and untracked status even when no main-tree copies exist. This is 2-4 `git ls-files` calls per save — negligible overhead, but the design is "always check" rather than "check when needed."

Verified complete by second pass.
