Summary

  • add an opt-in [workspace].git_enabled host setting
  • initialize each private agent workspace with out-of-band Git history and a baseline commit
  • checkpoint workspace changes after tool calls, including shell-written files
  • serialize concurrent commits, skip unchanged trees, and preserve tool results when Git fails
  • document the setting and checkpoint storage layout

Behavior

The feature defaults to disabled, preserving existing workspaces. When enabled, Git objects live in the sibling workspace.git/ directory while a small .git pointer keeps ordinary Git commands usable inside the agent workspace.

Validation

  • cargo test
  • cargo test --features openhuman --lib harness::checkpoint::test
  • cargo clippy --features openhuman --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • scripts/ci/assert-md-line-cap.sh
  • git diff --check

The full cargo test --features openhuman run reaches a pre-existing stack overflow in harness::brain::tests::a_hand_off_to_an_unknown_desk_settles_under_the_delegator. The same isolated test reproduces on unchanged main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional Git checkpoints for agent workspaces.
    • Creates a baseline and records file changes after tool calls.
    • Stores checkpoint history separately from workspace files.
    • Skips checkpoints when no files changed.
    • Checkpoint failures generate warnings without interrupting successful tool actions.
    • Feature is disabled by default and can be enabled in configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Added configuration and workspace layout guidance for Git checkpoints.
    • Documented retention and manual history cleanup requirements.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

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

Next review available in: 43 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

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 for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workspace Git checkpointing is opt-in. Enabled workspaces use an external workspace.git/ directory, create a baseline commit, and checkpoint changes after tool calls. Configuration and runtime wiring default the feature to disabled.

Changes

Workspace Git Checkpoints

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and runtime wiring
src/app/config.rs, src/app/types.rs, src/bin/opencompany.rs, src/runtime/builder.rs, src/harness/mod.rs, src/**/test*.rs
The workspace.git_enabled setting defaults to false, propagates through runtime builders and harness dependencies, and is explicitly disabled in test fixtures.
Checkpoint engine and tool wrapping
src/harness/checkpoint.rs, src/harness/build.rs
WorkspaceCheckpointer initializes external Git storage, creates baseline and change commits, skips unchanged calls, isolates Git operations, serializes access, and preserves tool results after failures. CheckpointingTool forwards tool behavior.
Checkpoint integration and validation
src/harness/build.rs, src/harness/checkpoint.rs
Agent construction conditionally wraps tools with checkpointing. Tests cover initialization, writes, unchanged calls, failures, concurrency, planted pointers, hooks, and initialization locking.
Workspace layout and configuration documentation
docs/spec/runtime/orchestration/sandbox.md, docs/spec/runtime/workspace-layout.md, gitbooks/developers/configuration.md, examples/live_company_turn.rs
Documentation describes opt-in checkpoints, external repository storage, retention, failure handling, and disabled defaults. The live example disables the setting explicitly.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 22693

When enabled, this change runs host-side Git over agent-controlled workspace data and permanently stores prior workspace states. Repository settings may trigger helper execution outside the normal command controls, while concurrent setup can hang or leave checkpointing unavailable; deleted data may also remain recoverable longer than expected. These security, availability, and retention risks should be addressed before merge.

86-101: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider skipping the checkpoint for calls that cannot touch the workspace.

Every wrapped tool call spawns three Git processes (add --all, diff --cached, rev-parse) and holds the per-agent lock while doing so. memory_recall, web_fetch, mcp_call_tool, and the other non-writing tools pay that cost, and concurrent tool calls serialize behind it. On a workspace holding a repo_checkout tree, git add --all walks the whole tree on each call.

The module doc states the decorator covers shell redirects and future writers, which is a sound default. A cheap narrowing keeps that property: skip the checkpoint when the inner tool reports external_effect_with_args(&args) == true and its category is not a filesystem category, or collapse diff/rev-parse into one git status --porcelain call.

Also applies to: 182-192

87-87: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-212)

Reachability: Internal

Define checkpoint retention and ignore rules before enabling workspace Git.

git add --all captures every non-ignored workspace change. When enabled, checkpointing wraps every tool call and commits changed snapshots to workspace.git. If a secret exists at a checkpoint and is later deleted, Git history retains it. Shell commands, downloads, and build output can also grow this history; WorkspaceQuota does not cap checkpoint objects. Add explicit ignore rules, a retention or size limit, and a documented purge path.

RuntimeBuilder::new defaults workspace_git_enabled to false, and verify
with_workspace_git_enabled(true) propagates through HarnessDeps and enables
checkpointing after a tool call. Extend the existing harness test coverage

rewriting/removing the checkpoints ref before running garbage collection, while

tokio::task::block_in_place at this async call site or an equivalent async
wrapper, while preserving the existing success, warning, and tools fallback
behavior.

In `@src/harness/checkpoint.rs`:
- Around line 252-302: Add the missing Tool::spec implementation to
CheckpointingTool, forwarding the call to self.inner.spec() and returning
ToolSpec so wrapped tools preserve their custom specifications.
- Around line 114-123: The initialize_baseline lock path must avoid calling
Handle::block_on inside an async Tokio task and must never continue without
acquiring the guard when path_lock is contended. Update initialize_baseline to
use blocking-safe acquisition, such as block_in_place on a multi-thread runtime,
or make the initialization flow async while preserving exclusive locking; add a
Tokio-task contention test covering build_roster.

In `@src/harness/checkpoint.rs`:
- Around line 115-121: The initialize_off_worker path can synchronously spin on
path_lock from a current-thread Tokio runtime, preventing the checkpoint future
from releasing it. Update initialize_off_worker and the related
initialize_baseline flow to acquire the lock asynchronously or run the complete
initialization outside the runtime without blocking; add a current-thread
contention test covering initialize_off_worker while checkpoint holds path_lock.

Outside diff comments:
In `@src/harness/checkpoint.rs`:
- Around line 54-101: Update Checkpoint::initialize to acquire path_lock before
modifying workspace/.git, checking the out-of-band HEAD, or running git init;
recheck HEAD after acquiring the lock, perform pointer rewriting and
initialize_baseline within that same critical section, and avoid reacquiring the
lock during baseline creation.
