What

item(action="doctor", reclaim=true, force=true) had no per-worktree scope — it force-deleted every dirty worktree in the repo in one call, not just the one the caller meant to fix.

On 2026-08-16 this destroyed uncommitted work in two unrelated items' worktrees (task/110, task/473) when a session tried to force-reclaim its own broken worktree (task/479). Branches survived (committed history is fine); uncommitted content in the other two was lost.

Fix

• flare_git_core::doctor::reclaim_scoped(repo_root, report, force, target) — when target is set, every lane except the named one is skipped outright, even under force=true. reclaim() keeps its old signature and now just delegates with target: None, so existing callers are unaffected.
• New worktree field on the MCP item(action="doctor") request, threaded through as the scope target.
• Updated the tool's field descriptions (and the top-level item tool description) to push callers toward always passing worktree alongside force=true.

Tests

• scoped_force_reclaim_touches_only_the_named_target (flare-git-core): 3 dirty linked worktrees, force-reclaim scoped to one — only the targeted one is deleted, the other two survive.
• item_doctor_force_reclaim_scoped_by_worktree_spares_other_dirty_lanes (MCP-level): same assertion through the actual item() MCP call with worktree set.
• Full flare-git-core doctor test suite passes (14/14).

Follow-up (not in this PR)

Filed item #482: dispatched jobs have no filesystem sandbox at all on Windows/macOS (bwrap only covers Linux/WSL2), which is the deeper reason a bug like this could reach other worktrees in the first place. Tracked separately as its own platform-sandboxing initiative.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Scoped forced reclamation now removes only the specified worktree, preserving unrelated dirty worktrees.
  • Unscoped reclamation behavior remains available when no worktree is selected.

• Documentation

  • Added guidance explaining the risks of forced reclamation without a specified worktree.
  • Documented the optional worktree selection for doctor operations.

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 48 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan. You completed 75 included PR reviews in the past 7 days; at that activity level, included reviews refill at 1 review per hour.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The doctor reclamation flow now accepts an optional worktree target. Matching lanes can be reclaimed without affecting unrelated dirty lanes. The MCP request, tool description, and regression tests support the new scoped behavior.

Changes

Scoped reclamation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Scoped reclamation core crates/flare-git-core/src/doctor.rs	reclaim_scoped filters lanes by name or path. reclaim retains unscoped behavior. Tests verify that only the targeted dirty worktree is reclaimed.
MCP target propagation src/mcp_server/types.rs, src/mcp_server/item_doctor.rs, src/mcp_server.rs, src/mcp_server/tests/item_doctor_tests.rs	ItemRequest accepts an optional worktree. The doctor handler passes it to reclaim_scoped. Tool documentation and integration tests cover scoped forced reclamation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e0465

The scoped reclaim behavior can still delete a healthy linked worktree when it has no health flags, even without force. Because this may remove a valid worktree unexpectedly, the PR is not merge-ready until flagless lanes are skipped and the targeted regression test is added.

skip selected lanes whose lane.flags is empty before applying dirty or reclaim
safety checks, preventing reclaim from deleting healthy linked worktrees without
force. Add a regression test covering a targeted healthy worktree and verify it
