## Summary - move delete-worktree failures out of transient toast-only UX and keep them inline in the delete modal - add parsed diagnostics for common failure modes, including a short summary, likely cause, and suggested next step - make the raw error easier to review and share with raw and sanitized copy actions Closes #301. ## BEFORE: <img width="1127" height="860" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dd09ba1e-be8c-450c-a1dd-f1cde2a48802" /> ## AFTER: <img width="1384" height="835" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6b0d1459-21fa-4264-9e54-45540f584538" /> ## Problem Before this change, delete-worktree failures were difficult to work with: 1. The failure message was effectively raw backend or git output. 2. Users had to infer the meaning of the error themselves. 3. The UI did not explain what likely went wrong or what to do next. 4. Sharing the error for debugging was awkward when it included machine-local absolute paths. 5. The confirmation modal was not being used as the primary diagnostic surface for a destructive action that frequently fails for understandable reasons. This was especially frustrating for common cases such as: - modified or untracked files in the worktree - a process still using the worktree directory - permission errors on Windows - missing worktree directories or stale worktree records ## What changed ### Modal failure UX - keep delete failures inline inside `packages/ui/src/components/worktree-selector.tsx` - clear modal-local error state when opening or closing the dialog - keep the success toast on successful deletion, but use the modal itself for failure presentation ### Human-readable diagnostics - parse JSON-shaped backend error payloads such as `{"error":"..."}` before classification - classify common delete failure patterns into: - `localChanges` - `inUse` - `notFound` - `permissionDenied` - `unknown` - render three user-facing lines above the raw error: - summary - likely cause - suggested next step ### Copy flows - add `Copy error` for the original failure text - add `Copy sanitized` to redact common absolute path and username patterns before copying ### Modal content and sizing - present the target worktree in a simpler two-line summary block - update the delete description text to plain English: `Deletes this branch worktree and its local folder.` - size the delete modal deliberately for desktop use while allowing vertical expansion to the viewport limit before scrolling ### i18n coverage - add the new delete diagnostic strings across all currently supported locales touched by this area: - `en` - `es` - `fr` - `he` - `ja` - `ru` - `zh-Hans` ## Why this approach - It keeps the backend contract unchanged and solves the UX problem where it occurs. - It preserves access to the raw failure text instead of hiding implementation detail entirely. - It gives users immediate guidance without forcing them to translate git errors into next actions. - It improves bug reporting without requiring a separate logging or export workflow. ## Not included - server-side preflight guards that block delete when the worktree is still assigned or in use - process-aware worktree locking detection - automatic retry or force-delete-and-retry flows Those are useful follow-ups, but this PR is intentionally scoped to failure presentation and debuggability. ## Files changed - `packages/ui/src/components/worktree-selector.tsx` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/en/instance.ts` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/es/instance.ts` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/fr/instance.ts` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/he/instance.ts` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/ja/instance.ts` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/ru/instance.ts` - `packages/ui/src/lib/i18n/messages/zh-Hans/instance.ts` ## Validation - `npm run typecheck --workspace @codenomad/ui` - `npm run build --workspace @codenomad/ui` - `npm run typecheck --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app` ## Notes for reviewers - The error classifier is intentionally heuristic and string-based. It is meant to improve the common cases without increasing backend coupling. - The sanitized copy flow is conservative and focused on path and username redaction, not full structured log scrubbing. --------- Co-authored-by: Shantur Rathore <i@shantur.com>

Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/NeuralNomadsAI/CodeNomad.git
cd CodeNomad
npm install
npm run dev
Troubleshooting
macOS: "CodeNomad.app is damaged and can't be opened"
Gatekeeper flag due to missing notarization. Clear the quarantine attribute:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CodeNomad.app
On Intel Macs, also check System Settings → Privacy & Security on first launch.
Linux (Wayland + NVIDIA): Tauri App closes immediately
WebKitGTK DMA-BUF/GBM issue. Run with:
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 codenomad
See full workaround in the original README.
