feat(mobile): add a project to another machine from the Environment picker - #34412
On web and desktop, the composer's Run on menu has Add to another machine: it clones the current project onto another connected machine, copies the ignored files you choose, and moves your draft there. The mobile app has no equivalent. Its Environment picker only lists machines that already have the project, so from a phone a machine without the repo can only be reached by leaving the draft, pasting the remote URL into Add project, and retyping the prompt, and the .env files do not come along.
Change
Environment picker (mobile): a new Add to another machine section lists each connected machine that can clone the project and does not have it yet. It is hidden when the project has no git remote or no such machine exists, the same rule the web uses.
Clone destination screen (mobile): tapping a machine opens the existing screen with the project's remote URL and default folder filled in. When opened this way it also lists the source project's ignored files, collapsed to a summary row, with the desktop defaults (.env*, .envrc, .dev.vars preselected; files over 1 MB not selectable).
After the clone starts: the draft, with its text and attachments, moves onto the new copy. Sends wait until the clone finishes and the files have been written; files that did not arrive are named in an alert.
Shared code: the copy rules and the read / wait-for-clone / write relay move from apps/web/src/lib/addProjectToMachine.ts into packages/client-runtime/src/state/projectFileCopy.ts, and the web dialog now uses them. This is why the PR touches web: the alternative was a second copy of the same logic in mobile. Web behavior is intended to be unchanged.
No server or contract changes. Not included: the SSH/HTTPS clone protocol toggle from the desktop dialog; mobile clones with the project's own remote URL.
Open PR #29033 edits the same picker (it lists every environment). The two are compatible, but whichever lands second needs a small rebase.
Scope
This closes a parity gap rather than proposing a new feature. Add to another machine already ships on web and desktop; this brings the same behavior to mobile, with no server or contract changes. The gap is also written up in #34408, which has no maintainer reply yet.
Verification
vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck (41 packages), tests beside changes, React Compiler.
New unit tests in packages/client-runtime/src/state/projectFileCopy.test.ts cover the default selection, the project subdirectory, read failures and truncation, writing below the subdirectory only after the clone is done, and copying nothing when the clone is removed.
New cases in apps/mobile/src/features/threads/new-task-project-selection.test.ts cover which machines are offered and which remote URL a fork clones.
apps/web/src/components/AddProjectToMachineDialog.browser.test.tsx passes against the refactored web code.
Ran the flow on an iPhone 17 simulator (iOS 27.2) paired with two local dev servers; screenshots below. The new section appeared only for the machine without the project, the clone screen was prefilled, the draft and its prompt moved to the new machine, and the two preselected env files were written into the clone while the unselected file was not.
Not checked: Android, a real device, relay or tunnel connections, and a clone slow enough to show the "Cloning" banner and the wait-for-files state.

Screenshots
Debug dev client of 7cfcdaad4f (after) and main at d2c25950b4 (before) on an iPhone 17 simulator (iOS 27.2), paired with two local dev servers labelled "MacBook Pro" and "Mac mini". "MacBook Pro" has a clone of octocat/Hello-World with three ignored files; "Mac mini" does not have the project.
Before · iPhone 17: the Environment picker lists only the machine that has the project
After · iPhone 17: the Environment picker offers "Add to another machine" with the machine that lacks the project
After · iPhone 17: Clone destination is prefilled and lists the source project's ignored files, env files preselected
After · iPhone 17: the draft lands on the new machine with the typed prompt carried over
Images are downscaled to half size. After the clone in the last shot, .env and .env.local were present in the new clone on disk and the unselected notes.local.txt was not. The "Cloning…" banner and the "Wait for the ignored files to finish copying." state are not shown: the demo repository clones too quickly to capture them.
…icker
The mobile Environment picker only listed machines that already had the
project, so a machine without the repo could not get it from a phone. Web
and desktop already offer "Add to another machine" in the Run on menu.
The picker now lists connected machines that can clone the project and do
not have it yet. Tapping one opens the existing Clone destination screen
for that machine, where the source project's ignored files can be chosen
(env files preselected). The draft moves onto the clone, and sends wait
until the files have landed.
The copy rules and the read/wait/write relay move from the web app into
client-runtime so both clients share one implementation.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The change adds mobile support for adding a project to another machine, including optional ignored-file copying and task-draft transfer. Shared file-copy helpers support mobile and web flows. Mobile task startup waits while file copying is active.
The client runtime exports helpers to select, read, and write project files around clone completion. Tests cover file selection, path calculation, read and write errors, and clone states.
Mobile destination targeting apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectDestinationRoute.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/NewTaskContextPickerScreens.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/new-task-project-selection.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/new-task-project-selection.test.ts
The environment picker resolves eligible destinations and passes repository, source-workspace, and valid draft details to the destination screen. Tests cover destination eligibility and remote URL selection.
Mobile destination copy and draft flow apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.test.ts
The destination screen supports ignored-file selection and copying, reports copy failures, and carries a valid draft or creates one from the prompt.
Mobile copy-state tracking apps/mobile/src/state/projectClones.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/NewTaskDraftScreen.tsx
Mobile state tracks active file copies by project. The new-task screen blocks startup during copying and displays a file-copy status message.
Web integration with shared copy helpers apps/web/src/components/AddProjectToMachineDialog.tsx, apps/web/src/lib/addProjectToMachine.ts
The web flow uses shared file-selection, path, read, and post-clone write helpers instead of local implementations.

Adding a project to another machine from mobile should work as intended. One narrow case is still open: if the destination project is registered elsewhere while the screen is open, the moved draft may not carry over. The file-copy wait appears to settle properly in the cases examined.

Explanation
The title "feat(mobile): add a project to another machine from the Environment picker" matches the main change: the mobile Environment picker gains an "Add to another machine" section that clones a project to a connected machine lacking it. It follows the conventional commit style the template asks for. The title does not mention the shared file-copy refactor in web and client-runtime, which is a secondary part of the change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem and Change sections clearly explain the parity gap and the mobile changes, and the shared-code refactor is justified. Verification gives concrete checks and states what was not tested. The Scope section is weaker than the template asks. The template says the repository accepts bug fixes, not features, and this PR is framed as a feature-parity change. It links #34408 but does not clearly show a bug issue, and the Scope text does not directly address the template's requirement. The description also has no template comment about contributing guidelines, which is minor. Overall the description is mostly complete, so it passes, but the Scope section needs a clearer justification for a feature-style change.

Do not end the file-copy wait on an empty clone list.
After the waiter sees a running clone, a later empty clone list resolves the wait as clone removal (packages/client-runtime/src/state/projectFileCopy.ts:116). The mobile clone list returns an empty array in more states than the pending state alone. These include an absent server config (apps/mobile/src/state/projectClones.ts:21), a failed clone subscription (projectClones.ts:24), and an unloaded subscription (projectClones.ts:25, mapped to an empty list at projectClones.ts:32). A temporary disconnect can reach one of these states. The waiter then resolves null, and the caller clears the copy flag without copying files or showing an alert (apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.tsx:1583-1590). The selected ignored files, including .env* files, are then dropped with no notice.
The wait needs a removal signal that an empty fallback cannot produce. The inspected code does not establish that signal, so this comment proposes no patch.

Address review on pingdotgg#34412:
- The file-copy wait now reads the target's clone subscription directly and ignores loading, failed, or missing lists, so a disconnect no longer ends the wait as if the clone were removed.
- If the clone leaves the list before it is seen done (the server drops finished clones after 30 seconds), every selected file is reported as not copied instead of being dropped silently.
- projectSubdirectory compares Windows drive paths case-insensitively.

Re the outside-diff finding (an empty clone list ends the file-copy wait): fixed in c1c219c.
The wait now reads the target's projectClones subscription directly, on both web and mobile, and acts only on lists the server actually sent. Initial, waiting-without-value, and failed results keep it waiting, so a disconnect or a missing server config can no longer look like a removal.
The server drops a finished clone 30 seconds after it completes, so a device that was away for that window can still miss done. That case no longer resolves silently: every selected file is now reported as not copied, which shows the existing failure alert on mobile and the failed copy state on web.
Keeps main's ignored-file search on web: selection stays a path-to-file
map so picks survive searches, and the 200-file cap moves into the
shared client-runtime module next to the default selection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
This case expects the same failure array if copying ends at the intermediate subscription failure instead of the final removal. Its final assertions therefore do not prove that unavailable lists keep waiting.
Add the failure and initial transitions to the existing successful-copy case before "done". Keep its write assertions. An early return will then fail that case.
As per coding guidelines, “Extend before you add,” and request coverage only when it catches a real regression.

Resolve the file-copy wait when a successful list lacks a clone that was never seen.
waitForProjectClone sets seen only after it observes the clone. A subscription that starts after a clone finishes receives a first successful list without that clone. Line 125 then returns undefined for every later list, so the promise never settles. The missing-clone branch in writeProjectFilesAfterClone is never reached, and the caller never receives a result.
The server keeps a finished clone for 30 seconds (DONE_RETENTION, ProjectCloneTracker.ts:70). A new subscription receives the current list and does not replay removed entries (ProjectCloneTracker.ts:436-442). A device whose subscription starts after that window can therefore wait forever.
Treat a successful list that lacks the project's clone as gone, and resolve null in that case. The copy then reports each file as not copied. Confirm that the first list always includes a clone started before the subscription. Otherwise the change can report a failed copy for a clone that is still running.

A subscription that (re)starts after a finished clone was dropped gets a
list without it, so the wait never settled and mobile sends stayed
blocked. A missing clone now ends the wait once the list came from a
subscription that began after the copy did; a cached list from before
the clone started is still not trusted.

A cached clone list can leave the copy wait pending indefinitely.
waitForProjectClone treats an absent clone as removed only after it has seen the clone, or after a non-Success result. A live projectClones subscription can already hold a Success list without the target project when the waiter starts. This happens when the server drops a finished clone before the start reply arrives. Later Success lists cannot set either flag, so the wait never settles. writeProjectFilesAfterClone then never resolves, the copy state stays "copying", and mobile sends remain blocked.
The clone list can arrive before the start reply, and the root toast coordinator keeps this subscription mounted, so the cached list is reachable.
The wait needs a signal that the list was received after the clone started. Without it, a cached list from before the start cannot be distinguished from one taken after the clone expired. Establish that signal before treating absence as removal. The inspected code does not establish a safe edit for it, so this comment proposes no patch.

…clone it never saw
The durable clone subscription keeps a Success result across a
disconnect and session replacement, so the earlier non-Success signal
never fired: a clone that finished and expired while the device was away
kept the copy, and mobile sends, waiting forever. The wait now watches
the target's session generation; the first list after a new session is
the server's current list, so a missing clone there is gone.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Question: Can the first replacement-session clone list arrive before the session-generation notification? If that list is empty and the waiter never saw the clone, check keeps waiting. The later generation callback only sets freshList. Without another list event, copying remains pending. The two signals come through separate stream paths; the inspected source does not establish their notification order. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Check: Verify the ordering through the actual subscription and session-generation producers. An empty replacement-session list followed by the generation notification, with no later list, confirms the concern if the copy promise remains pending. A guaranteed generation-before-list ordering refutes this path. The added test covers only generation-before-list.
This is a focused verification of the previously reported pending-copy concern.

Problem
On web and desktop, the composer's Run on menu has Add to another machine: it clones the current project onto another connected machine, copies the ignored files you choose, and moves your draft there. The mobile app has no equivalent. Its Environment picker only lists machines that already have the project, so from a phone a machine without the repo can only be reached by leaving the draft, pasting the remote URL into Add project, and retyping the prompt, and the
.envfiles do not come along.Change
.env*,.envrc,.dev.varspreselected; files over 1 MB not selectable).apps/web/src/lib/addProjectToMachine.tsintopackages/client-runtime/src/state/projectFileCopy.ts, and the web dialog now uses them. This is why the PR touches web: the alternative was a second copy of the same logic in mobile. Web behavior is intended to be unchanged.No server or contract changes. Not included: the SSH/HTTPS clone protocol toggle from the desktop dialog; mobile clones with the project's own remote URL.
Open PR #29033 edits the same picker (it lists every environment). The two are compatible, but whichever lands second needs a small rebase.
Scope
This closes a parity gap rather than proposing a new feature. Add to another machine already ships on web and desktop; this brings the same behavior to mobile, with no server or contract changes. The gap is also written up in #34408, which has no maintainer reply yet.
