* fix(workspaces): default new worktrees to upstream refs
Use the daemon-resolved upstream as the untouched starting ref so unpushed local commits do not leak into new workspaces. Preserve exact base identity for fork remotes while keeping local-first behavior across version drift.
* fix(workspaces): preserve exact base refs in git actions
Resolve accepted display aliases back to the stored ref before comparisons and updates. Fail closed when a non-origin remote base has no explicit mutable merge target.
* fix(workspaces): reject conflicting qualified base refs
Display aliases remain accepted for compatibility, but a qualified ref carries remote identity and must not be canonicalized to a different stored upstream.
* test(server): make upstream fixtures portable
Keep the checkout-status fixture aligned with the optional upstream field, and select main explicitly when cloning a bare test remote whose default HEAD varies by platform.
* fix(workspaces): preserve exact upstream refs
Qualified remote refs now fail closed when pruned instead of switching lineage. Metadata accepts Git-valid upstream names rather than applying a narrower character whitelist.
* fix(workspaces): preserve qualified local base refs
Local tracking branches are exact upstream identities too. Keep heuristics only for legacy unqualified metadata so origin cannot replace a stored refs/heads base.
* fix(ci): skip unrelated required checks cleanly
Matrix jobs had to start no-op runners to preserve interpolated required-check names. Static named jobs let GitHub report genuine skipped conclusions while keeping those names stable.
* fix(ci): gate changes to install patching script
* fix(ci): route cross-package test contracts narrowly
* fix(ci): keep routed contracts merge-blocking
* fix(server): exclude nested test utilities from builds
* fix(ci): cover app-owned native and browser domains
* refactor(ci): align tests with runtime domains
Own browser specs, desktop specs, and Electron-only app code by stable directories so PR routing does not depend on filename conventions. Keep desktop integration coverage inside the required desktop check.
* fix(ci): keep routing and desktop suites isolated
The routing regression must run before dependency installation, and desktop Vitest must not collect Playwright-owned specs.
* fix(ci): isolate desktop e2e runtime
* perf(test): isolate Playwright workers
* perf(test): parallelize Playwright within specs
* fix(test): keep Playwright file scheduling
* fix(test): share dynamic Metro fixture
* fix(test): preserve own-host restart fixtures
* fix(ci): preserve routed contracts after rebase
* Stabilize Playwright wheel-scroll assertions
