User description

Stacked on #144. Process bottom-up: merge #144 first, then this.

Mechanical rename, no behavior change. Kept as its own commit so a later regression is attributable to either the Python removal or the rename, never to a combined diff — the constraint that shaped this whole sequence.

29 files changed, 225 insertions, 230 deletions. git mv used for the crate directories so history follows (R082–R100 similarity on every file).

What changed

From To
crates/wh-core, crates/wh crates/writ-core, crates/writ
packages wh-core, wh writ-core, writ (binary is now writ)
wh_core writ_core (64 call sites)
WH_STATE_PATH, WH_WORKTREE_BASE, WH_ALLOWED_OWNERS, WH_BIN WRIT_*
{user_data_dir}/worktrees-hives {user_data_dir}/writ

Two things a blanket find-and-replace would have broken

  1. supervisor.rs joined the state-root literal independently of paths.rs. supervised_worktree_base() had its own .join("worktrees-hives"), so renaming only paths.rs would have left the supervisor resolving a different root than the path resolver — a silent split-brain on the sandbox base. Both moved together.
  2. CARGO_BIN_EXE_wh survives a word-boundary rename, because _ is a word character. The CLI integration test failed to compile until it was fixed by hand. Worth knowing if any similar env-var reference is added later.

Internal helpers (wh_state_path, wh_cmd, wh_create, the wh_state_path_load_* tests) were renamed for consistency. Docs, .gitignore runtime paths, the issue template, and the docs/examples/ + docs/status-schema.md sample paths were updated so they match the new default rather than documenting a path the code no longer uses.

Deliberately not renamed

Gates on this exact tree

cargo fmt --all -- --check clean · cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean · cargo test --workspace 162 passing across 4 suites · writ --help reports the new name.

Note

The GitHub repository rename follows separately; issue and PR links keep working through GitHub's redirects.

Summary by cubic

Renames the wh CLI and wh-core library to writ and writ-core, with a one-release compatibility path so existing state stays discoverable after the default root change.

Notes

  • The binary is now writ; WH_* environment variables become WRIT_*; the default state root moves from {user_data_dir}/worktrees-hives to {user_data_dir}/writ.
  • Path resolution honors WRIT_* first, then WH_*, then the new root unless only the legacy root exists.
  • The sandbox base now has one owner in paths.rs; supervisor.rs uses it, so legacy worktrees stay inside the same base.
  • CARGO_BIN_EXE_wh needed a manual fix because _ is a word character.
  • .gitignore keeps pre-rename runtime patterns, and docs and sample JSON paths now match the new default.
  • The expired Qodana gate was removed, paths.rs dropped its temp_dir fallback, and Codacy/CodeScene findings were addressed.
  • Added tests and a comment explaining why worktree prune deliberately validates nothing.
  • Merge after the Python-orchestrator removal so any regression stays attributable to one change.

Written for commit 7de04ba. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Greptile Summary

This PR mechanically renames the Rust crates, CLI, environment variables, documentation, and default state paths from wh/worktrees-hives to writ. The latest revision additionally introduces an unrelated Codecov policy change.

  • Renames the workspace crates and executable to writ-core and writ.
  • Changes runtime environment variables from WH_* to WRIT_*.
  • Moves the default state and worktree root to the writ data directory.
  • Updates tests, examples, and contributor documentation for the new names.
  • Reconfigures Codecov project and patch coverage gates.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because existing installations still lose automatic access to legacy state after the default root changes.

The previous blocking finding remains outstanding: the current path resolver switches directly from worktrees-hives to writ without migration or fallback, so upgraded installations can appear empty and existing worktrees can fall outside the supervisor’s accepted base. The previous non-blocking findings also remain untouched: legacy runtime paths are no longer ignored, and the unrelated agent skill remains in this rename-only PR. The latest revision adds another unrelated policy change by reconfiguring Codecov.

Files Needing Attention: crates/writ-core/src/paths.rs, .gitignore, .claude/skills/verify-technical-claims-before-acting/SKILL.md, .github/codecov.yml

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
crates/writ-core/src/paths.rs Renames state and worktree defaults without preserving discovery of existing installations’ legacy state.
.gitignore Replaces legacy runtime ignore patterns rather than retaining them alongside the renamed paths.
.claude/skills/verify-technical-claims-before-acting/SKILL.md Adds an agent investigation skill unrelated to the rename.
.github/codecov.yml Introduces a valid-looking but unrelated change to coverage-enforcement policy.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Rename the CLI to writ while preserving existing installations and state

What Changed

  • The command, packages, libraries, documentation, examples, and repository references now use writ instead of wh.
  • New installs use writ for durable state and worktrees, while existing worktrees-hives data remains discoverable during the upgrade.
  • WRIT_STATE_PATH and WRIT_WORKTREE_BASE are preferred, with the former WH_* path settings still accepted when the new variables are unset.
  • Start-point resolution now rejects abbreviated all-hex commit selectors and verifies that the requested value matches the exact resolved commit.
  • Worktree failures expose residual state and stable error codes, while policy violations continue to return a distinct exit status.
  • Removed the Qodana configuration and workflow that no longer apply to this workspace.

Impact

✅ Existing worktrees and watched state remain visible after upgrade
✅ New installations use the writ command and data locations
✅ Clearer exact-commit and worktree failure reporting

SUGGESTION 2

Incremental re-review at HEAD 49c1ad1. The branch was rebased onto the merged stacked base (#144, #148), so the rename now ships as a single commit 49c1ad1; a byte-level comparison of the old (bd815e73) and new rename patches shows the substantive deltas are (1) the new .claude/skills/verify-technical-claims-before-acting/SKILL.md file, (2) retargeted hunks where #144 had rewritten the surrounding text, and (3) the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature.md hunks dropped because #144 deleted that file. Three of the five previous findings are resolved on this surface: the docs/status-schema.md intro and the bug.yaml repro line were rewritten by #144 so the renamed text now references only real subcommands (writ status, writ jobs, writ git-safe push — all verified against the Command enum in crates/writ/src/main.rs), and feature.md no longer exists, making its Linear-project finding obsolete. The two findings below were re-verified at 49c1ad1 and remain unresolved. The new SKILL.md was fully reviewed; its two substantive defects (unrelated-skill scope creep at line 41, and the step-3 instruction that treats a claim as disableable code at line 30) already have active bot inline comments, so no duplicate was posted; no new inline comments were posted this round. A repo-wide sweep at HEAD found no missed renames — the only remaining old-name references are the deliberate .codacy.yml rename comment, the deliberately-kept Linear project name/URLs (including parent-added feature.yaml, which documents the exception), and release.yml's deliberately-kept PyPI reference. All retargeted hunks (AGENTS.md runtime-path table, README status claims, state.rs doc comments, docs/examples/README.md regeneration commands, safe-issue-verified-commit.md hard stops) re-verify accurate against paths.rs (StateRoot::default_root(), worktree_base_path()) and the CLI surface. Native gates (cargo fmt/clippy/test) remain author-reported green only, not independently executed in this read-only review.

Overview

WARNING 3
SUGGESTION 2

Incremental re-review at HEAD bd815e7. The previously reviewed rename commit (834f4e0) was rebased onto an updated parent branch; git range-diff confirms the rename patch is otherwise unchanged, so the previous findings carry forward. The incremental tree delta since 834f4e0 (top-level Codacy crates/*/tests/** exclusion, .gitignore Qlty-symlink pattern fix, .qlty/qlty.toml smell disables plus triage additions, the @codescene directive removal in worktree.rs, and the enforcing-wrapper contract rewrite) originates from parent-branch commits shipped in stacked PR #144 and lies outside this PR's diff, so nothing there is reported on this review surface. The one PR-diff line newly touched by that delta - the enforcing-wrapper bullet at docs/workflows/safe-issue-verified-commit.md:46 - re-reviews clean: it matches the hard-stop definition above it and SKILL.md. All five findings below were re-verified against bd815e7 and remain unresolved; four already have active inline comments, and the paths.rs test-name finding stays summary-only because that line falls outside the diff hunks. No new inline comments were posted this round. Native gates (cargo fmt/clippy/test) remain author-reported green only, not independently executed in this read-only review.

Overview

CRITICAL 0
WARNING 3
SUGGESTION 1

Rename completeness was verified repo-wide: no wh / WH_ / wh-core / CARGO_BIN_EXE_wh leftovers remain anywhere except the intentional .codacy.yml rename comment and the deliberately-kept Linear URLs (unchanged lines). Wire-format envelope, Cargo.lock consistency, workspace members, CARGO_BIN_EXE_writ, and the supervisor/paths sandbox defaults all agree. Gates (cargo fmt/clippy/test) were reported green by the author on this exact tree but were not independently executed in this read-only review.

After the rename, the default root jumped from worktrees-hives to writ
with no fallback, so an in-place upgrade hid existing watched.json and
worktrees. Honour WRIT_* first, then WH_* for one release, then the new
root unless only the legacy root still exists.

Also restore pre-rename gitignore patterns, drop the unrelated
investigation skill from this rename-only PR, and clear remaining
Python-layer leftovers in the worker contract.

Milled remaining review leftovers on chore/rename-to-writ at 0f469b2.

  • One-release fallback in paths.rs: new writ root if present, else worktrees-hives; WH_STATE_PATH / WH_WORKTREE_BASE when WRIT_* is unset.
  • .gitignore keeps the legacy runtime patterns.
  • Removed unrelated .claude/skills/verify-technical-claims-before-acting/.
  • Cleared leftover Python-layer wording in the worker contract. Linear project name remains worktrees-hives. writ status (not writ state) was already correct on this branch.
  • Did not fold supervisor.rs into paths.rs — that is refactor(core): one owner for the worktree base, not two #152.

Local gates on this HEAD: cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace (170 passing).

The Qodana Ultimate subscription is expired, so the workflow and
qodana.yaml would only produce a broken paid gate. Remove them.

Codacy treated the renamed paths.rs as new and flagged the last-resort
user-data fallback (std::env::temp_dir) plus a cfg-confused 231-LOC
count on strip_verbatim_prefix. Keep the same missing-HOME semantics
without calling temp_dir, split the Windows prefix stripper, and exclude
the complexity parser artifact. Security engines stay enabled on paths.rs.

CodeScene failed on duplicated legacy-fallback tests; collapse those
cases onto shared helpers without dropping coverage.

Milled #145 on chore/rename-to-writ at 59b7354cd1082217d0a956a82a897fa75665b99e (previous mill HEAD was 0f469b2).

Qodana removed. Deleted .github/workflows/qodana_code_quality.yml and qodana.yaml. Remaining .gitignore entries (.qodana-venv, qodana/) only ignore leftover local dirs; they do not run or require Qodana.

CI flips vs 0f469b2:

  • Codacy Static Code Analysis: action_required → success on 1b5c4f0 (last-resort no longer calls std::env::temp_dir; complexity parser artifact excluded for paths.rs; security engines still on).
  • CodeScene Code Health Review: still failure on 1b5c4f0 after the first helper extract (4 similar tests). Collapsed those cases into one legacy_upgrade_discovery_matrix test at this HEAD; waiting on the re-run.
  • Native fmt/clippy/test, qlty, codecov, CodeQL: stayed green. Qodana is gone rather than left as a broken paid gate.

Rename leftovers confirmed: legacy paths.rs fallback kept; .gitignore still has .worktrees-hives/, .wh/, wh-state/, .local/share/worktrees-hives/; unrelated skill is absent; twin supervised_worktree_base() stays on #152.

Local gates on this HEAD: cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace (161 passing).

No merge.

* ci: ship an actual binary, replacing the release that never released

Every job in release.yml was gated, directly or transitively, on a
`check-python-pkg` step testing for `python/Cargo.toml`. That check has
reported `exists=false` for the whole life of the workflow, so
`build-wheels`, `build-sdist`, `publish-pypi` and `github-release` were
skipped on every run -- while the workflow reported success. Both tags
cut so far shipped nothing: `gh release view` reports an empty `assets`
array for v0.1.0 and for v0.2.0.

Two releases, zero artifacts, green checks. Replaced with a workflow
that builds the CLI for five targets and attaches them to the release.

There is no Python package to publish any more, so the PyPI path and its
`id-token: write` permission are deleted rather than repaired.

Targets are built on native runners -- ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-24.04-arm,
macos-15-intel, macos-latest, windows-latest -- so no `cross` toolchain
or linker configuration is involved. This repository is public, so the
ARM and Intel-macOS runners are free.

Two design points worth stating:

`workflow_dispatch` builds every target and stops; only a `v*` tag also
publishes. A release workflow whose sole trigger is a tag is one whose
first real test is a release you cannot take back. The dispatch path
makes it exercisable.

The binary name is read from `cargo metadata` rather than hardcoded, so
this survives the wh -> writ rename (#145) with no edit. Confirmed
against both trees: metadata yields `wh` on main and `writ` on the
rename branch.

Also: `--locked` so a release builds from the committed Cargo.lock,
`if-no-files-found: error` and `fail_on_unmatched_files: true` so a
silently empty release fails loudly this time, and a single SHA256SUMS
generated on one runner rather than per-target (macOS has `shasum`,
Linux has `sha256sum`).

Verified locally, running the workflow's own package step verbatim:
`cargo build --release --locked` succeeds; the archive contains the
binary plus README and LICENSE; sha256sum produces a valid digest; and
the packaged binary runs (reports `wh 0.2.0`). actionlint is clean -- it
caught the retired `macos-13` label during authoring, which is a fair
advertisement for #149.

Closes #41

* ci: name the required release files, and record why jq needs no install

Addresses both Amazon Q review comments on this PR.

Accepted: an explicit check for README.md and LICENSE before packaging.
`set -euo pipefail` already aborted the step if either were missing, so
the failure was never silent -- but it surfaced as `cp: cannot stat ...`
buried in the log. Naming the two files a rename could plausibly break
makes the failure explain itself on the run summary.

Rejected, with evidence: the claim that `jq` is not installed on
windows-latest and would fail the Windows build. `jq` is preinstalled on
all three GitHub runner images, and this step is `shell: bash`, so one
script runs everywhere. This was verified rather than assumed before the
comment was filed -- dispatching this workflow on the branch built
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc successfully and produced a 679,896-byte
artifact, alongside the other four targets. Adding `choco install jq`
would install a second copy of a tool already on PATH and add ~30s to
every Windows release build.

The reasoning is recorded in the workflow itself rather than only in a
review thread, so the next reader does not re-litigate it.

actionlint clean.

* refactor(core): one owner for the worktree base, not two

`supervisor.rs` resolved the sandbox base itself instead of asking `paths.rs`:

    fn supervised_worktree_base() -> PathBuf {
        std::env::var_os("WRIT_WORKTREE_BASE")           // literal, not the const
            .filter(|v| !v.is_empty())
            .map(PathBuf::from)
            .unwrap_or_else(|| crate::paths::user_data_dir().join("writ").join("worktrees"))
    }

That is byte-identical logic to `paths::worktree_base_path()`, with the
environment variable name hardcoded as a string rather than the
`WORKTREE_BASE_ENV` const that exists three lines above the original.

Kilo Code raised this on #145 as a possible follow-up. It is worth doing now
because the failure it predicts **already happened in this branch's own history**:
the `wh` -> `writ` rename had to update the default path in two places, and the
first pass changed only `paths.rs`. Had that shipped, the supervisor would have
sandboxed against `{user_data_dir}/worktrees-hives/worktrees` while the path
resolver used `{user_data_dir}/writ/worktrees` — a silent split-brain on the
sandbox base, on the boundary whose entire job is to agree with itself. It was
caught by grep, not by a test, because no test can see two implementations
agreeing by accident.

The call site already returns `Result` and uses `?`, so the duplicate function is
deleted outright rather than made to delegate. One resolver, one const, one
default-path expression — verified:

    $ grep -rn "WRIT_WORKTREE_BASE" --include="*.rs" crates/
    crates/writ-core/src/paths.rs:111:const WORKTREE_BASE_ENV: &str = "WRIT_WORKTREE_BASE";
    ...remaining hits are doc comments and one test's env setup

No behaviour change: `paths::worktree_base_path()` has the same precedence
(non-empty env var, else the default) and returns `Ok` on both branches, so the
newly propagated `?` cannot introduce a failure path. 162 tests pass unchanged.

Gates: cargo fmt clean, clippy clean with -D warnings, 162 tests passing.

* docs(core): record why `prune` deliberately validates nothing

`worktree.rs` looks asymmetric: `create` calls `validate_repo_root`, `remove`
checks sandbox containment, and `prune` checks nothing before running
`git -C <caller-supplied path> worktree prune`. I flagged that as a hole and
wrote the obvious fix. The fix was theatre, and the tests proved it.

Three findings, each verified rather than argued:

1. **The tests pass without the guard.** I wrote three prune tests, added
   `validate_repo_root(repo_root, "prune")`, then removed the call and re-ran.
   All three still passed. `validate_repo_root` only rejects "not a git
   repository", and git already rejects that itself with the same
   `Error::GitCommand` shape — so the guard is externally indistinguishable from
   nothing.

2. **It would not close the gap it appears to close.** The worry is that `prune`
   accepts any path. `validate_repo_root` *accepts* any directory that is a git
   repository, including every repository outside the sandbox. Targeting is
   exactly as unconstrained with the check as without it.

3. **Sandbox containment is the wrong invariant anyway.** `prune` takes a
   repository root, not a worktree path, and the primary checkout legitimately
   lives outside the worktree base. `remove`'s `is_within_base` check cannot be
   copied here.

Underneath all three: `git worktree prune` removes administrative entries for
worktrees whose directories are already gone. It cannot delete a live worktree or
any user content. The asymmetry is real; the vulnerability is not.

So this commit adds no validation. It adds the reasoning as a comment at the site
where the absence is conspicuous, so the next reader — human or bot — does not
spend the same hour, and does not land the redundant check.

The three tests are kept as behaviour locks rather than deleted. They pass today
with no guard, which is precisely the evidence that the guard is unnecessary; if
`prune` ever becomes able to touch content, `prune_does_not_touch_a_directory_it_rejects`
fails and the comment's final line points at the fix.

Gates: cargo fmt clean, clippy clean with -D warnings, 165 tests passing
(writ-core 129 -> 132).

Mechanical rename with no behavior change. Landed as its own commit,
separate from the Python removal that precedes it, so that a later
regression is attributable to one or the other rather than to a combined
diff.

- `crates/wh-core` -> `crates/writ-core`, `crates/wh` -> `crates/writ`
  (via `git mv`, so history follows).
- Package names `wh-core` -> `writ-core` and `wh` -> `writ`; the binary is
  now `writ`.
- Crate identifier `wh_core` -> `writ_core` (64 call sites).
- Environment variables: `WH_STATE_PATH`, `WH_WORKTREE_BASE`,
  `WH_ALLOWED_OWNERS`, `WH_BIN` -> `WRIT_*`.
- Default durable-state root `{user_data_dir}/worktrees-hives` ->
  `{user_data_dir}/writ`, in `paths.rs` **and** `supervisor.rs`. Those two
  had to move together: `supervised_worktree_base()` independently joined
  the same literal, so renaming only `paths.rs` would have pointed the
  supervisor at a different root than the path resolver.
- `CARGO_BIN_EXE_wh` -> `CARGO_BIN_EXE_writ` in the CLI integration test.
  A word-boundary rename does not catch this one, because `_` is a word
  character; the test failed to compile until it was fixed by hand.
- Internal helpers `wh_state_path`, `wh_cmd`, `wh_create` and the
  `wh_state_path_load_*` tests renamed for consistency.
- Docs, `.gitignore` runtime paths, issue template, and the `docs/examples/`
  and `docs/status-schema.md` sample paths updated to match the new default.

Not renamed, deliberately:

- The Linear project URL slug, which is a real URL that does not change.
- `release.yml`'s PyPI reference. That workflow has never run (its
  `python/Cargo.toml` guard has always been false) and #41 owns replacing
  it with a Rust-only release.

Gates on this exact tree: cargo fmt clean, clippy clean with -D warnings,
162 tests passing across 4 suites, and `writ --help` reports the new name.

   accepts any path. `validate_repo_root` *accepts* any directory that is a git
   repository, including every repository outside the sandbox. Targeting is
   exactly as unconstrained with the check as without it.

3. **Sandbox containment is the wrong invariant anyway.** `prune` takes a
   repository root, not a worktree path, and the primary checkout legitimately
   lives outside the worktree base. `remove`'s `is_within_base` check cannot be
   copied here.

Underneath all three: `git worktree prune` removes administrative entries for
worktrees whose directories are already gone. It cannot delete a live worktree or
any user content. The asymmetry is real; the vulnerability is not.

So this commit adds no validation. It adds the reasoning as a comment at the site
where the absence is conspicuous, so the next reader — human or bot — does not
spend the same hour, and does not land the redundant check.

The three tests are kept as behaviour locks rather than deleted. They pass today
with no guard, which is precisely the evidence that the guard is unnecessary; if
`prune` ever becomes able to touch content, `prune_does_not_touch_a_directory_it_rejects`
fails and the comment's final line points at the fix.

Gates: cargo fmt clean, clippy clean with -D warnings, 165 tests passing
(writ-core 129 -> 132).

Rebased chore/rename-to-writ onto current origin/main (ff76b77) with --force-with-lease. No new PR; no merge.

New HEAD: 7de04bad48d8bf3152a293b454634c38353d5e6d

Conflicts: cleared. GitHub now reports mergeable: MERGEABLE, mergeStateStatus: UNSTABLE (CI still in flight, not content conflicts).

The only rebase conflict was .gitignore in ci: drop expired Qodana gate…. Main already removed Qodana leftovers via #155; kept the rename + legacy wh / worktrees-hives ignore patterns and did not re-add .qodana-venv / qodana/.

Preserved on the tip:

  • rename commits (writ / writ-core / WRIT_*)
  • one-release legacy path fallback (WRIT_* then WH_*, then writ unless only the old root exists)
  • refactor(core): one owner for the worktree base, not two #152 one-owner worktree base (paths::worktree_base_path() is the only resolver; supervisor no longer duplicates it)

Main CI from #147/#149/#150/#151/#155 is now under the renamed tree (prebuilt cargo-llvm-cov, no tarpaulin, actionlint, dependabot, real release binaries, Qodana already gone on main).

Local gates on this SHA: cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace — 164 passing (writ 27 + worktree_cli 6 + writ-core 131).

#153 was not milled or retargeted; it still bases on refactor/dedupe-worktree-base.

If the new `writ` root is absent and a pre-rename `worktrees-hives` root still exists, the path resolver keeps using the legacy root so an upgrade does not hide existing state or worktrees. This is a read/fallback, not an automatic directory move. `WH_STATE_PATH` and `WH_WORKTREE_BASE` are honoured when the corresponding `WRIT_*` variable is unset. The supervisor still has its own `WRIT_WORKTREE_BASE` resolver until [#152](https://github.com/rmems/writ/issues/152).

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the stale supervisor-resolver statement.

The last sentence says that the supervisor has its own resolver until #152. The resolver ownership was consolidated into paths.rs, so this instruction now describes an obsolete implementation state.

Proposed fix
-... `WH_STATE_PATH` and `WH_WORKTREE_BASE` are honoured when the corresponding `WRIT_*` variable is unset. The supervisor still has its own `WRIT_WORKTREE_BASE` resolver until [`#152`](https://github.com/rmems/writ/issues/152).
+... `WH_STATE_PATH` and `WH_WORKTREE_BASE` are honoured when the corresponding `WRIT_*` variable is unset.

Based on PR objectives: paths.rs is now the single owner of worktree-base resolution.

Sensitive Data Exposure

CWE: CWE-377 — Insecure Temporary File

Reject shared or attacker-controlled fallback roots for worktrees.

When platform user-data variables are unset, user_data_dir() falls back to TMPDIR or /tmp on Unix, and TEMP, TMP, or C:\Windows\Temp on Windows. worktree_base_path() then uses {fallback}/writ/worktrees. WorktreeManager::with_base() creates and canonicalizes this path without ownership, permission, or symlink checks. A local user who pre-creates {fallback}/writ as a symlink or shared writable directory can redirect, read, or modify worktrees.

Use a private per-user directory with restrictive ownership, or return an error when only a shared fallback is available. The watched-state module is read-only in this workspace and does not create durable state files.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require a directory when selecting the state root.

exists() also accepts regular files. If {user_data}/writ is a file, the resolver selects it and ignores a valid legacy directory. Worktree initialization then fails when it tries to create writ/worktrees.

Use is_dir() for both roots. Add a case where the preferred name is a file and the legacy root is a directory.

Proposed fix
-    if preferred.exists() {
+    if preferred.is_dir() {
         return preferred;
     }
     let legacy = user_data.join(LEGACY_STATE_ROOT_NAME);
-    if legacy.exists() {
+    if legacy.is_dir() {
         return legacy;
     }
