# Blocker Report — agentkit-cli v1.12.0 materialize worktrees

Status: RESOLVED
Date: 2026-04-20
Scope: Historical sandboxed linked-worktree commit blocker

## Resolution

- This blocker applied only to the prior sandboxed pass, where linked-worktree git metadata writes under the parent repo were outside the writable roots.
- The current unsandboxed continuation pass restored those writes, and local commits now succeed normally from this worktree.
- The first post-unblock feature commit is already present locally: `b9ee100` (`feat: add materialize worktree execution`).

## Historical blocker

This checkout is a linked git worktree whose git metadata lives under:

- `/Users/mordecai/repos/agentkit-cli/.git/worktrees/agentkit-cli-v1.12.0-materialize-worktrees`

The sandbox allows file edits inside `/Users/mordecai/repos/agentkit-cli-v1.12.0-materialize-worktrees`, but it does not allow writes to the parent repo metadata directory above. `git add` and `git commit` therefore fail even though the code and tests in this worktree are otherwise editable and runnable.

## Attempts

1. Direct `git add ... && git commit ...`
   Result: `index.lock` creation under the parent repo worktree metadata path failed with `Operation not permitted`.
2. `GIT_INDEX_FILE=/tmp/... git add ...`
   Result: object-database temporary file creation still failed with `Operation not permitted`.
3. `GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=/tmp/... GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=... GIT_INDEX_FILE=/tmp/... git commit ...`
   Result: `COMMIT_EDITMSG` creation under the parent repo worktree metadata path failed with `Operation not permitted`.

## Historical implementation state

- `agentkit_cli/materialize.py` exists locally with deterministic stage consumption, dry-run planning, collision preflight, serialized-lane waiting behavior, real local `git worktree add` execution for eligible lanes, and worktree-local `.agentkit/materialize` handoff seeding.
- `agentkit_cli/commands/materialize_cmd.py` and `agentkit_cli/main.py` wiring exist locally.
- Local tests for the new feature currently pass:
  - `python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_materialize_engine.py tests/test_materialize_cmd.py tests/test_materialize_workflow.py` -> `8 passed`
  - `python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_stage.py tests/test_stage_workflow.py tests/test_dispatch.py tests/test_dispatch_workflow.py tests/test_resolve.py tests/test_resolve_workflow.py tests/test_resolve_cmd.py tests/test_taskpack.py` -> `37 passed`

## Historical impact

- Required deliverable commits could not be created.
- Full-suite validation, final contradiction scan, hygiene check, and release-readiness reporting were not completed.
- The branch is not release-ready in this sandboxed environment.

## Current state

- No active blocker remains from this report.
- Remaining work is standard release validation and release-surface reconciliation, not sandbox recovery.
