Excludes the parent's side chats, which are deleted with it, from both worktree occupancy checks in deleteThread, so web and desktop offer the existing optional worktree-deletion prompt again. Works on its own because the server occupant list is filtered on the client. Includes a regression test that fails on main.

Supersedes #29792. The change is @saphid's; their commits are kept.

Reproduction on main

Reproduced on main at b05c505:

1. Added a one-commit scratch git repo as a project. 2. Started 'Parent thread' in a new git worktree (branch demo-wt) and let one Replay turn finish. 3. In the web app, opened the parent thread, opened a Side chat from the right panel and sent 'side question'; its turn finished. The server stored the side chat with lineage.sideChat=true, parentThreadId=parent and the same worktreePath as the parent. No other thread used that checkout. 4. Thread actions > Delete on the parent showed 'Delete thread "Parent thread"?'. I clicked Confirm. RESULT: no 'Delete the worktree too?' prompt appeared. The parent and the side chat were both soft-deleted (deleted_at set), and git worktree list still showed the demo-wt checkout, left behind with no thread using it. 5. Control in the same session and settings: started 'Control thread' in another new worktree (branch control-wt) with no side chat and deleted it the same way. After the conversation-delete confirm, the app showed 'Delete the worktree too? This thread is the only one linked to this worktree: control-wt-…'. Confirming removed that worktree. So on main the side chat alone suppresses the prompt, because main's deleteThread counts the parent's side chats as surviving occupants even though the server deletes them with the parent. Not run: the 'unrelated surviving thread keeps the worktree' case and the server trailing-separator path case. Neither is needed to show this defect.

Evidence

Create a synthetic git project; start Parent thread in worktree demo-wt; finish a Replay turn; create a side chat and finish its turn; choose parent Thread actions > Delete > Confirm. Web Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh state on both commits.

Scenario source. The same final scenario reached its assertion and failed on base, then passed on head.

Not shown:

• Unrelated surviving thread and equivalent trailing-separator worktree paths were not exercised; this scenario isolates the reported parent-and-side-chat defect.
• Actual worktree removal after accepting the cleanup offer was not exercised; the scenario stops at the offer.

Tests

Layer 1: vp test run src/hooks/useThreadActions.permissions.test.ts 39/39 pass; with main's useThreadActions.ts restored the new test fails (1 failed); CI=true vp run check:changed pass (format, lint, knip, typecheck 2 packages, tests, react compiler). Layer 2: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts src/persistence/reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts 64/64 pass; CI=true vp run check:changed pass (format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck 4 packages, 7 test files, react compiler).

Not in this change

• CodeRabbit minor: the SQL prefilter's trim() strips only spaces, so a requested path wrapped in tabs or newlines misses a stored match that the shared helper would accept; rare and rated minor.
• CodeRabbit minor: an ASCII query skips the non-ASCII fallback, so a stored path whose Unicode lowercases to ASCII (e.g. U+212A Kelvin) is missed; rare and rated minor.
• Forward-slash UNC paths in normalizeProjectPathForComparison: changing that shared helper affects other callers (AgentSessionImporter/Scanner); the author deferred it in review.
• ThreadLaunchService branch rename still skips siblings stored under another spelling (rejected by the exact expectedWorktreePath guard with a warning); no worse than before, and the author deferred it in review.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at a64eefd

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Deleting a parent thread can now offer worktree cleanup when its only other occupants are side chats deleted with it. Existing shared-worktree protections, authorization checks, and explicit destructive confirmation remain in place.

Walkthrough

Thread deletion now treats direct side chats as removed when checking for surviving threads and worktree occupants. A test covers deletion when the target thread’s worktree is shared only by its side chat.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a64ee

This change restores the optional worktree-deletion prompt when a deleted thread's worktree is shared only with its side chats. It is small and covered by a regression test, and no merge-blocking risk was found.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: deleting a thread that has side chats wrongly offers to delete its worktree. The fix type and scope follow the conventional commit style. The changeset excludes the parent's side chats from the worktree occupancy checks in deleteThread, which matches the title.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has a clear Problem (side chats suppress the worktree-deletion prompt on delete), a Change section that explains excluding the parent's side chats from both occupancy checks, a Scope note that links the superseded PR #29792 and states it is a bug fix, and a detailed Verification section. It includes a reproduction on main, before/after evidence, and test results. It also lists what was not exercised. It names the models that did the work, as the template requests. The Scope section does not link a separate issue that shows the bug, but the reproduction is detailed and the PR supersedes an earlier PR, so this gap is minor.

Failed pre-merge checks:

Restructure the description to follow the template headings. Under Problem,
state the expected and actual behavior with reproduction steps. Under Change,
explain the exclusion of side chats in both occupancy checks. Under Scope, link
the issue that shows the bug, or explain why no issue is needed, and link the
maintainer request if one exists. Under Verification, list the regression test
name, the observed results on main and on this branch, and anything not checked,
including web and desktop behavior. If an agent did the work, add the model and
