fix(mobile): adding a folder that is already a project opens it - #34942
The device report gives no observed outcome, but its new case 4 (Hello-World registered, Spoon-Knife prompt link submitted into the Hello-World destination) is a negative control, and the fix got it wrong. The clone screen matched existing projects by folder only, so it opened Hello-World with the Spoon-Knife prompt. The earlier proof had presented this as the fix working. Main fails that clone because the destination is occupied, which is correct. useOpenExistingProject now takes an optional clone argument, { remoteUrl, prompt }, and in the clone flow reuses the existing project only when its repositoryIdentity.canonicalKey equals sourceControlClients.repositoryKeyFromRemote(remoteUrl), the same key function the server uses to build canonical keys. Otherwise the clone proceeds and the server reports the folder occupied, as on main. The local-folder flow (case 1) is unchanged. Cases 1–3 matched what an earlier device proof showed working, and reading the code I found no fault in the ~ lookup, path matching or prompt draft. If they also failed on the device, this change does not address them. I did not re-run the device scenario.
Using the mobile app, connect to an environment with filesystem-read, orchestration-operate, and source-control-write permissions. Register a project at /home//projects/bike-documents. Open New thread → Choose project → + → Local folder, enter ~/projects/bike-documents/, and tap Add project: main reports Failed to mutate project; the change shows Project already exists and opens the existing draft. Separately, register a checkout of octocat/Hello-World at /home//t3-dupfix-demo/Hello-World. Choose Add project → Git URL, enter https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World.git, continue, and submit ~/t3-dupfix-demo/Hello-World as the destination: main attempts cloning and fails; the change opens the existing draft without cloning. Repeat through a repository prompt link and confirm its prompt appears in the draft. These steps are derived from the issue and diff and were not executed.
Evidence
Android 16, Pixel 9, light theme; fresh isolated state on each commit.
Submit the registered folder as ~/projects/bike-documents/.
Clone octocat/Hello-World to its registered destination, ~/t3-dupfix-demo/Hello-World.
For the same-repository prompt destination case, open Hello-World's prompt link while unregistered, choose Clone, then register that same checkout before submitting the destination. This staging is necessary because an already-registered repository's prompt link correctly opens its draft directly on both commits.
Stills uniformly crop the status bar. Local-folder and clone videos end at the result alert to exclude the later machine label.

Archived-project restoration was not exercised.
The iOS local-folder comparison completed, but its video cleanup timed out; published interaction evidence is from Android 16.
Tests
vp test run apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.test.ts: 19/19 pass. With only AddProjectScreen.tsx reverted to the previous head, the new 'leaves a folder holding another repository to the clone' row fails (1 failed, 18 passed). vp run check:changed: format (after vp fmt), lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), tests (2 files) and react compiler all pass.
Not in this change
If saving the prompt draft fails while an existing project is opened, the error is swallowed and the draft opens without the prompt. Overlapping fix(mobile): reuse existing projects when adding folders #23500 handles this more carefully, but it was not merged here.
No device proof yet; it is left to the proof step.
A project whose repositoryIdentity is not resolved yet, or that is not a git checkout, no longer matches in the clone flow, so the clone proceeds and the server reports the folder occupied, as on main. In case 3 this could happen if the checkout is registered just before submitting.
The PR description's evidence row 'Prompt-link clone destination' (Spoon-Knife link into the Hello-World folder) shows the behaviour this commit removes and needs re-capturing by the proof step.

Failing tests for #23237: a home-relative path to an existing project
sends project.create, and cloning into an existing project's folder
clones and creates instead of opening it.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Adding a local folder typed as a home-relative path (`~/...`) compared the
text against absolute workspace roots, missed the existing project, and sent
a project.create the server rejected. The clone destination flow never
checked for an existing project at all.
Both flows now expand `~` by browsing the host's home before matching, and
the clone flow opens the existing project's draft, keeping a prompt-link
prompt, instead of cloning into it.
Fixes#23237

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Mobile add/clone flows now recognize existing projects through home-relative paths and open their drafts, preserving clone prompts. The change is limited to explicit user actions and retains permission and repository-identity safeguards.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Mobile project creation resolves tilde-prefixed paths for existing-project checks when filesystem-read access is available. When a matching project exists, local-folder and clone flows open its task draft instead of creating or cloning another project. Clone prompts are passed to the draft.

Summary
Resolve paths and open existing projects apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.test.ts
The browse-path hook resolves tilde-prefixed paths when filesystem-read access is available. A shared helper finds and opens matching projects. For clone requests, it also checks canonical repository identity.
Check existing projects for local folders apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.test.ts
Local-folder submission uses a home-resolved lookup path while retaining the submitted path for project creation. A test covers a home-relative path that matches an existing project.
Check existing projects before cloning apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/projects/AddProjectScreen.test.ts
Clone submission checks the home-resolved destination and repository identity before cloning. Tests cover matching and non-matching repository identities.
Opening an already registered project instead of creating a duplicate or cloning into it works for the common cases. Two narrow gaps remain: a registered project whose repository identity is unknown still leads to the "destination not empty" clone error, and a project registered while a home path is resolving can be missed. Both are worth fixing before or soon after merge.

Explanation
The title follows the conventional commit format and names the main change: a local folder or clone destination that is already a project now opens the existing project. It matches the linked issue and the diff. The title is short and specific, and it does not use vague terms.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #23237 has two coding objectives. (1) Local folder: a ~ path to an existing project must open that project's new-task draft and must not create a duplicate. At head 5274434, useBrowsePathInput adds resolveHomePath, which replaces a leading ~ with the parent path that the host reports for partialPath: "~". AddProjectLocalFolderScreen passes that resolved path as lookupPath to useCreateProject. useCreateProject calls useOpenExistingProject, which returns early and opens the draft when findExistingAddProject matches. (2) Clone: AddProjectDestinationScreen calls openExistingProject with the resolved destination and remoteUrl before startProjectClone. On a match it opens the draft and returns, so no clone starts. The prompt is passed through draftWithPrompt, which covers the prompt-link objective of #23237. The current head adds a repository identity check for clone matches. A folder that holds a different repository falls through to the clone, which reports the occupied folder. This does not conflict with the issue's Hello-World scenario, where the registered project and the clone source are the same repository. Not verified: the unit test bodies in AddProjectScreen.test.ts and the internals of findExistingAddProject and repositoryKeyFromRemote. The on-device evidence is not a coding requirement.

Explanation
The whole-PR diff from merge base 0f13d63 to head 5274434 changes two files: AddProjectScreen.tsx and AddProjectScreen.test.ts. The AddProjectScreen.tsx diff contains only the resolveHomePath addition, the useOpenExistingProject extraction, the lookupPath parameter, the clone pre-check, and the navigation hook call in the local-folder screen. Each hunk supports issue #23237. The offeredSourceControlProviders hunks from the earlier review no longer appear in the whole-PR diff, so the earlier FAIL is resolved. The PR description's notes on the swallowed prompt-draft error and the iOS evidence are disclosures, not code changes.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification content. The Problem section is covered by the linked issue #23237 and the Reproduction section. The Change section explains the clone-flow identity check and the unchanged local-folder flow. Scope links issue #23237. Verification gives a focused test run (19/19 pass, 1 failure when the component is reverted), a check:changed run, and before/after Android evidence. It also states what was not checked: archived-project restoration, the iOS comparison, and a device re-run. The description has some weak points. Its Problem section is not written as a standalone one- or two-sentence statement. It repeats the prompt-draft save caveat and the Spoon-Knife evidence row, which the author says still needs re-capture. The reproduction steps are stated as unexecuted. The template's agent attribution line is present. These gaps are minor for a mostly complete description.

Both existing-project tests check only that no project was created. They do not check that the existing project's draft opens. A change that stops the draft from opening would still pass these tests. In the home-relative test, assert that state.dispatch receives the thread-draft selection for the existing project's projectId. In the clone test, make the same assertion. If the clone flow is given a prompt, also assert that its draft keeps that prompt.

Read the current project list when the existing-project lookup runs.
In the local-folder and clone submit paths, a ~ path awaits resolveHomePath before the lookup. The lookup uses the projects value captured when the submit handler was created. If a project registration arrives during that await, the lookup can miss the destination. The flow then sends project.create or startProjectClone for a path that already belongs to a project, instead of opening its draft.

Reuse a registered project when its repository identity is unknown.
The guard treats a registered project with no repositoryIdentity (absent or null) as a mismatch. The clone then starts in the occupied folder, and the user sees "Destination path already exists and is not empty" instead of the project draft. A folder that holds a different repository should still go to the clone, as the existing test expects. Only the unknown-identity case should be reused.
