Problem

When the browsed root is a compose project directory, the workers running in it write their stores under data/ (session-manager .jsonl appends, the shell turn store, the queue store). Those paths are gitignored, and the turn observer already keeps them out of the durable turn record. The page's live review path did not: shell::changed carried no ignore signal, the page folded every watcher event into the review with only a static noise list, and it reloaded the live Git scope on every burst.

Two visible effects:

  • data/session-manager/*.jsonl and data/shell/turns/sessions/*.json showed up as Current Turn changes, and the auto-follow rule from (MOT-4574) fix(shell): follow current turn without hiding uncommitted changes #941 switched into Current Turn on them.
  • A manually selected Uncommitted, Unstaged, or Staged view flipped between loading and its file list on every burst while a turn ran, because each reload set the loading state and reopened the diff. The shell rewriting its own turn store on every fold kept the loop going.

Change

Worker (shell/src):

  • events.rs: ChangedEvent gains ignored: bool. The watcher pump asks git check-ignore --stdin -z once per coalesced burst, in process, through the new git_ignored helper. A root that is not a repository, or a host without git, reports false for everything. Events still fan out for ignored paths, so a tree keeps listing them; the flag lets a subscriber decide.
  • turn_observe.rs: ignored_set now delegates to the same helper instead of carrying its own copy of the check-ignore plumbing.

Page (shell/ui/src/page):

  • live.ts: WorkspaceChangedEvent.ignored?: boolean (absent on older workers, treated as false).
  • index.tsx: the burst handler drops ignored paths from the review fold and from the follow target, and returns after the tree refresh when every changed file in the burst is ignored, so neither the review nor the Git view reloads for store writes. loadReviewScope takes an optional { touched }: the burst handler passes it for live Git scopes so the reload does not flip the loading state and only reopens the open diff when its entry changed or the burst touched that path. Manual scope selection and the other callers are unchanged.
  • live-review.ts: onlyIgnoredChanges.
  • review.ts: sameReviewEntry, and mergeGitReviewEntries shares the same sameGitChange comparison instead of an inline copy.

Verification

  • cargo fmt, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings, cargo test (shell crate, two new tests for git_ignored).
  • tsc --noEmit clean, vitest 336 passing (3 new).
  • Live on a compose rig with the shell rooted at the project directory, Uncommitted selected, while writing to gitignored files under data/ for 8 seconds (DOM mutations on the review pane): 1286 before the change, close to the idle baseline after. The scope header stayed on Uncommitted 3 files throughout.
  • A new untracked file still appears in Uncommitted within a burst and disappears when deleted, with and without an active turn.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Workspace change events now identify files ignored by Git.
    • Live reviews skip ignored-only changes and avoid reopening unchanged review entries.
    • Older workers remain supported when the ignored-file indicator is unavailable.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented unnecessary loading states and review updates when workspace changes do not affect the active review.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ignored changes, mixed change bursts, and review-entry comparisons.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workspace watcher now marks git-ignored paths in ChangedEvent. The UI consumes this metadata to skip ignored-only bursts, filter review updates, avoid unnecessary loading, and preserve unchanged active entries.

Changes

Ignored workspace change flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Git-ignore event metadata
shell/src/events.rs, shell/src/turn_observe.rs
The watcher uses git check-ignore to annotate changed paths. turn_observe reuses the shared helper. Tests cover repository and non-repository roots.
UI ignored-change contract
shell/ui/src/page/live.ts, shell/ui/src/page/live-review.ts
WorkspaceChangedEvent accepts optional ignored metadata. onlyIgnoredChanges detects non-empty bursts where every path is ignored.
Live review update control
shell/ui/src/page/index.tsx, shell/ui/src/page/review.ts, shell/ui/src/page/__tests__/live-review-ignore.test.ts
The live review pipeline filters ignored paths, skips ignored-only refreshes, avoids unnecessary loading and reopening, and compares review entries with shared helpers. Tests cover entry and burst comparisons.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 81e7c

This change filters gitignored workspace writes from live review, but large change bursts may block further workspace updates, and stale ignore state can hide a later eligible file change; repository ignore rules can also suppress review visibility. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and availability risks to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit watched the workspace tree

Git marked quiet paths for me
Review hops past the ignored ground
Unchanged entries stay safe and sound
The burrow builds with less rebound
