Cloud runner reads a checkpoint hint from the server that nothing acts on yet

Not switched on

Elsewhere

The cloud runner reads and validates a per-repo commit hint from the server that nothing acts on.

A worktree_checkpoint_hint field is parsed and validated, but the function that would use it returns immediately.

What

The cloud session runner now reads a worktree_checkpoint_hint field from the session config it fetches at startup, validates it as a list of repos each with a name and base commit SHA, drops malformed entries, caps the list and logs how many were usable. The function that would act on the hint gained a parameter for it this release but its body returns immediately.

Details
  • A lookup helper resolves a branch name to its base commit SHA.
  • Nothing gates the parsing; the effect is absent because the consuming function does nothing.
Evidence

worktree_checkpoint_hint

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