Summary

The dash lists sessions with no sense of what checkout each serves. Dogfooding feedback asked for the branch, repo, and worktree per session.

  • The daemon's serve_list_sessions now probes each session's project path with one git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD --show-toplevel --absolute-git-dir invocation via tokio::process, under a 1 s deadline, in parallel across sessions. --absolute-git-dir keeps the worktree comparison exact (the relative form prints .git at the toplevel); anything but a clean success (not a repo, no git, timeout) yields None.
  • New wire field #[serde(default)] git: Option<Box<GitInfo>> on ListSessionsEntry. Back-compat both directions: old daemons omit the field and clients show nothing, new daemons are tolerated by old clients (plain serde, no deny_unknown_fields). Boxed so the mostly-None field stays small in the CLI's picker enums (clippy large_enum_variant).
  • The TUI renders ⎇ <branch> in the sidebar row and the repo toplevel, tagged (worktree) for linked worktrees, in the detail Info column. Sessions without git info keep the existing layout byte-identical, so no snapshot churn.

VM caveat: the guest daemon probes git inside the guest. Guests without git yield None and the dash shows nothing, per the degraded-behavior contract.

Changes

File What it does
crates/minimald-rpc/src/lib.rs GitInfo wire type, git field, round-trip and back-compat tests
crates/minimald/src/rpc.rs probe_git_info plus parallel probing in serve_list_sessions; integration test with a repo, a linked worktree, and a non-repo fixture
crates/minimal-tui/src/render.rs Sidebar branch segment and Info-column repo root with worktree tag
crates/minimal-tui/tests/snapshots.rs sidebar_and_info_show_git_context render test
crates/minimal{,-tui}/... git: None in existing ListSessionsEntry literals

Verification

  • just ci green: fmt, clippy, cargo-deny, 1729 tests, doctests. The one test-ignored failure (mctx tests::task_env) also fails on clean main and is unrelated.
  • New daemon integration test list_sessions_reports_git_info_per_session builds a real repo plus a git worktree add fixture and asserts branch, toplevel, and the worktree flag over the wire.
  • Snapshot suite unchanged: without git info the render is byte-identical.

Fixes #1200

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Session listings now show the current Git branch when available.
    • Session details display the repository root and identify linked worktrees.
    • Git metadata includes branch, repository location, and worktree status.
  • Improvements
    • Sessions without Git information retain their existing layout.
    • Git details are omitted for non-repositories or when metadata cannot be retrieved, keeping session loading responsive.

The dash lists sessions with no sense of what checkout each serves;
dogfooding feedback asked for the branch/repo/worktree per session.

serve_list_sessions now probes each session's project path with one
git rev-parse (branch, toplevel, absolute git dir) via tokio::process
under a 1s deadline, in parallel across sessions; any failure maps to
None, so a VM guest without git degrades to today's display. One wire
field, #[serde(default)] git: Option<Box<GitInfo>>, stays back-compat
both ways (old daemons omit, old clients ignore) and boxed so the
mostly-None field stays small in the CLI's picker enums.

The TUI renders ' ⎇ <branch>' in the sidebar row and the toplevel
(tagged 'worktree' for linked worktrees) in the detail Info column;
sessions without git keep the existing layout byte-identical.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The session-list RPC now returns optional Git branch, repository-root, and worktree metadata. The TUI displays this metadata in session rows and the detail pane. Serialization, integration, snapshot, and fixture tests cover the new fields.

Git session metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
RPC contract and fixture compatibility
crates/minimald-rpc/src/lib.rs, crates/minimal/src/..., crates/minimal-tui/src/app.rs, crates/minimal-tui/src/filter.rs
ListSessionsEntry now contains optional GitInfo data. Serialization tests cover absent and populated metadata. Test fixtures initialize the new field.
Git metadata collection
crates/minimald/src/rpc.rs
ListSessions probes project directories with git rev-parse in parallel. Probes use a one-second timeout and return no metadata on failure or for non-repositories. Integration tests cover repositories, worktrees, and plain directories.
TUI Git metadata rendering
crates/minimal-tui/src/render.rs, crates/minimal-tui/tests/snapshots.rs
Sidebar rows show available branches. The detail pane shows repository roots and labels linked worktrees. Snapshot tests cover both worktree and ordinary repository rendering.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8dc51

Long Git branch names can crowd the session sidebar and clip other status fields; the change remains mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a bounded rendering follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit hops through branches green,
And spots new roots in every screen.
Worktrees wear their labels bright,
While plain repos stay neat and light.
The session list now tells the tale—
Git trails appear along the trail.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Truncate the branch before rendering the sidebar row.

branch has no width limit. If a branch name exceeds the sidebar width, Lines 178-190 render it after the name has collapsed. Ratatui then clips the network and activity fields.

Limit the branch segment to the remaining width after right and its gutter. Add a long-branch rendering test.

Proposed fix
-                let branch = entry
+                let right = format!("{net} {indicator:>2}");
+                let max_branch_width = inner_width
+                    .saturating_sub(UnicodeWidthStr::width(right.as_str()) + 2);
+                let branch = entry
                     .git
                     .as_ref()
-                    .map(|g| format!(" ⎇ {}", g.branch))
+                    .map(|g| {
+                        let text = format!(" ⎇ {}", g.branch);
+                        if max_branch_width > UnicodeWidthStr::width(" ⎇ ") {
+                            pad_truncate(&text, max_branch_width)
+                        } else {
+                            String::new()
