The pre-made checkout is threaded through startup but its producer has an empty body.

What

The cloud session startup path now threads an optional pre-made repository checkout through to the checkout step, alongside the existing pre-fetched commit. The function meant to produce that checkout has an empty body and returns nothing, so the value is always absent and the branch that would use it never runs.

Details
  • The git source is assembled as {...source, ...(tip && {prefetchedTip}), ...(standby && {standbyCheckout})}, and the repository setup forwards standbyCheckout onward.
  • The producer takes {claimed, useWorktrees, source, onDebug, dir} and its body is a bare return;. Plumbing is in place for a later fill-in.
Evidence

standbyCheckout

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
