When a config profile declares both a git_mount and a mounts entry for the
same directory (e.g. ~/.pi), the generated bind-mounts would mask each other
inside the container. Instead, copy the static profile files into the
instance-scoped git-mount source directory so the container sees both the
cloned repo contents and the static files through a single bind-mount.
- Add _stack_profile_mounts_with_git_mounts helper to merge overlapping
profile mounts into git-mount sources.
- Integrate stacking into start_tool_instance after resolving both mount
types.
- Add unit tests for exact, descendant, non-overlapping, and file cases.
- Include branch in git-mount clone dir hash so different branches of the
same repo get separate directories and no longer race.
- Resolve profile working_directory before git mounts so relative targets
are not silently skipped.
- Fall back to tool_type.home_directory for non-manifest tools.
- Fix glob target calculation to avoid duplicate directory segment.
- Add exc_info logging for git mount clone failures.
Detached containers with tty: true still exited immediately because a
plain /bin/bash invocation exits with code 0 when stdin is not connected.
- Detect when the container CMD is /bin/bash or bash and exec an
interactive login shell () after dropping privileges
- Keep the generic path for non-shell commands

The previous compiler_version v2 already produced an image tag
(3d34c636) for the su-based fix. Images built under v2 still had the
broken su entrypoint that exited immediately. Bump to v3 so the runuser
change forces a fresh image build with the corrected privilege drop.

The container still exited immediately after the su-based fix. can
interfere with TTY/stdin handling for interactive shells. Switch to

bash stays interactive.

compute_image_tag hashed only the manifest JSON, so cached images built
before the entrypoint fix were reused even though compile_entrypoint() now
produces a different entrypoint. This caused containers to keep using the
old (broken) entrypoint that exited immediately.
- Include a compiler_version token in the hash input so manifest compiler
changes invalidate previously built images

compile_dockerfile, compile_entrypoint, or compile_compose

The generated entrypoint used a brittle invocation that could

Git clone with an explicit destination puts the working copy directly into
that directory; it does not create a repo-named subdirectory. The previous
change assumed the opposite, so workspaces ended up at
/data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/ with the repo contents mixed in,
causing a 500 when the expected repo-named subdirectory was missing.
- Build the target path as /data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/{repo_name}/
and pass it directly to GitService.clone
- Remove stale directory detection and fallback logic that is no longer
needed
- Keep diagnostic logging around git clone failures

The workspace creation endpoint returns 500 but the actual error is not

Working copies were stored as /data/working-copies/{repo_id}/{workspace_name}/,
so git clone was forced into a user-named directory. That meant the container
mount basename was the workspace name (e.g. main) instead of the repo name.
- Generate the workspace UUID before cloning and clone into
/data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/ so git creates {repo_name}/ naturally
- Set workspace.path to /data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/{repo_name}/
- Update _migrate_clone_into_workspace() to use the same layout
- _get_repository_mount_name() now prefers workspace.path basename and only
falls back to remote URL / repo.name for legacy repo-only instances
- Update unit tests to assert workspace path basename is used for mounts

The pi-agent manifest still declared an explicit repo mount with
{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}, making the mount target dependent on tool config. The
instance service now synthesizes the repo mount, so the manifest no longer
needs the explicit mount.
- Add Alembic migration 2026_06_15_090500 to remove the source_type: repo
mount from the built-in pi-agent manifest
- Add _get_repository_mount_name() helper to derive the workspace directory
name from the repository remote URL (matching git clone behavior) and
fall back to the user-provided repository name

WORKSPACE_NAME was computed from os.path.basename(repo_path), so when a
workspace path ended in a directory like 'main', the container mount target
became /home/user/main instead of /home/user/{repo-name}.
- Use GitRepository.name for WORKSPACE_NAME/REPO_NAME in manifest and
legacy dockerfile flows

when the workspace path basename differs

Older cached images still contain a literal /home/user/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
directory baked in by the previous Dockerfile generation. Even though new
images no longer create it, existing images leave the placeholder folder
alongside the real repo-named mount.

exists before creating the real workspace target and /workspace symlink
- Update unit tests to assert the stale placeholder removal

When a manifest mount target uses ~/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}, the Dockerfile was
building a literal directory named {{WORKSPACE_NAME}} into the image and
creating a broken /workspace symlink. The runtime mount then created the
correct repo-named folder alongside the placeholder folder.
- Only create static mount target directories in the Dockerfile; skip any
target containing {{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
- Only create the /workspace compatibility symlink at image-build time when
the workspace name is known; otherwise let the entrypoint create it from
the WORKSPACE_NAME environment variable

placeholders

The compose file was forcing the container to run as uid 1001, so the
entrypoint could not create /workspace even with sudo configured.
- Remove Dockerfile USER directive so containers start as root

The previous ordering checked SUDO before checking if the process was
already running as root. When Docker starts the container with a
non-root user, SUDO may be empty, but the real fix is that the
entrypoint should try root first (e.g. when the image is started as
root) and only then fall back to sudo.

The previous commit moved the pi-agent repo mount from /workspace to
/home/user/{repo_name}. This exposed a permission bug: the Dockerfile
creates /workspace as a root-owned symlink in the image, and the
non-root entrypoint could not replace it because / is owned by root.
- Update compile_entrypoint to recreate /workspace via sudo when running
as the container user, or directly when running as root

Add generated .pi-map.md and .pi-map.index.md files across the repository
so the project navigation maps are shared and versioned. These artifacts
are maintained by project_map_init/patch/validate and must be kept in

Note: .cache/ remains ignored (added in previous commit).
Root cause: manifest-based Dockerfile created the home directory and
chowned only the home root. Files/directories copied from /etc/skel by
useradd -m (or created later by root) remained root-owned, so apps like
ranger failed when writing to ~/.config.
Changes:
- manifest_compiler.py: recursive chown of the home directory after
useradd so /etc/skel contents are owned by the container user
- Pre-create .config, .local/share, .cache and chown them to the user
so first-run apps have writable directories immediately
- Add unit test verifying the Dockerfile emits the expected user/home
setup and config directory creation

Root causes:
1. No dedup for monitor restarts — _last_known_state is cleared on stop,
so every restart re-sent notifications for all unhealthy instances.
2. Aggressive error classification — any Docker state other than 'running'
was treated as 'error', including transient 'created' and 'restarting'.
3. Confusing metadata — when new_status == previous_status (after restart),
notifications showed previous_status equal to current status.
Fixes:
- _check_instance: when previous is None (first check) and new_status equals
the DB status, just record the snapshot and skip _handle_state_change.
This prevents duplicate events/notifications on monitor restart.
- _derive_status: only treat 'exited' and 'dead' as error. Preserve current
status for transient Docker states ('created', 'restarting').
- _derive_status: if DB says 'running' but container is 'not_found',
return 'error' instead of preserving 'running' (fixes silent failure).
- _handle_state_change: improved unhealthy message to 'Container tunnel is
unreachable' instead of generic 'Container is now unhealthy'.

When a workspace is provided, auto-generated display names now use
workspace.name instead of repo.name:
'myworkspace / VS Code Server' # first
'myworkspace / VS Code Server #2' # second
Without a workspace, naming falls back to repo.name:
'myrepo / VS Code Server'
'myrepo / VS Code Server #2'
The counter is scoped to workspace+tool_type (or repo+tool_type),
so different tool types for the same workspace/repo are numbered
independently.
This replaces the old format of 'project / repo / tool #N' which
was always repo-based and included the project name even though
the sidebar already groups by project.
