gsxdsm 743df98aa4 capacity, part 1: merge pinned at 1, worktrees-off mode, and one dead knob deleted (#2502)
First slice of the capacity simplification. Operator: *"just have two
capacity — overall per project agent count and max worktrees. Remove all
other capacities and counts."* Plus two later additions: **merge is
always 1, fixed**, and **worktrees off ⇒ limit by total agents only**.

Three independently revertable commits. No limiter is added anywhere;
one is deleted, one is made structurally absent, and one is pinned.

---

## 1. Merge concurrency ratcheted at 1 (test-only)

I was asked to add a limiter if merge concurrency could be raised. **It
cannot** — there is no setting, workflow property, pool or trait config
anywhere that raises it, so this adds no code and pins what already
holds.

Serialization lives in the **pump**: `drainMergeQueue`’s `mergeRunning`
re-entrancy latch, `activeMergeTaskId` as a single-slot identity, the
`mergeBodyInFlight` next-generation latch, and one `ProjectEngine` per
projectId.

**Not** in the merge-queue lease, which is a per-task ROW (`primaryKey
[projectId, taskId]`) — two tasks can hold leases simultaneously by
construction, and it has exactly one caller (the worktree-reuse
handoff). Ordinary merges never take it. A lease-level test would have
been describing an invariant that layer has never held.

The second half guards the other direction: a merge-concurrency
*setting* would not fail the pump ratchet — it would sit unread until
someone wired it up.

**Revert-proof:** deleting the latch → `expected 1 times, but got 2
times`; deleting the `finally` → latch-stuck; injecting
`maxConcurrentMerges: 2` → fails naming the key; injecting a
`maxParallelLanes` merge-trait field → fails naming the field. Sources
restored byte-identical after each injection.

## 2. `worktreesEnabled` — off means the worktree limit cannot bind

No worktrees-off mode existed (no
`worktreesEnabled`/`useWorktrees`/`worktreeMode` anywhere — only
worktree *configuration*).

**Why not `maxWorktrees: 0`, which needs no new key:** it deadlocks. `??
4` keeps `0` (not nullish), the gate is `used >= limit`, so `0 >= 0`
holds **on an empty board** and nothing ever dispatches — while the
operator-visible reason reads `gate=maxWorktrees; used=0/0`, a limiter
that looks like it is working while the board is dead. It also needs the
Command Center `{min:1}` clamp relaxed. So `0` costs the gate rewrite
*and* the clamp change *and* encodes a mode as a magic value.

**Off is absence, not a big number.** `resolveWorktreeCapacityLimit`
returns `number | null`; `ConcurrencyGateDiagnostic.maxWorktreesGate` is
now optional, so consulting a worktree limit in OFF mode does not
type-check. A gate holding `Infinity` can start binding again the moment
someone "fixes" a comparison; an absent gate cannot.

That paid for itself immediately: making it nullable surfaced a
**second, independent** worktree gate (`activeWorktrees >= maxWorktrees`
early-return) that a skip-by-convention approach would have missed
silently.

**Scope, deliberately:** this is a statement about *counting*, not
isolation. It does not make concurrent agents safe to share one checkout
and builds nothing toward that — the non-worktree paths that exist today
are fallbacks to the operator’s own tree, one of which caused FN-8600.

**Revert-proof:** a resolver ignoring the flag turns both OFF scheduler
tests red while every ON test stays green — they reuse the *same*
fixture (5 in-progress, limit 4) that pre-existing tests prove blocks,
so the pair moves in opposite directions. Removing `disabled:` reddens
the UI test.

## 3. `maxTriageConcurrent` deleted — it controlled nothing

**Measured: zero enforcement reads.** The only `.maxTriageConcurrent`
reference in the repo was a route echoing it back in `/config`. FN-8453
removed the pool it gated and left the knob shipping in
`DEFAULT_SETTINGS`, the settings type, the section registry, the API
response and six i18n catalogs, doing nothing, for releases.

Historical FNXC comments are **updated, not deleted** — they explain a
real past incident; they now say "planning admission slot" so they stop
implying a live setting. Tombstoned so it cannot return.

`/config` loses a field; safe in-repo since `fetchConfig`’s own return
type never declared it.

---

## Two corrections worth recording

- I earlier reported `maxWorktrees` had **no** Settings UI. Wrong —
`WorktreesSection.tsx:47`; my grep was truncated by `head`. It changed
the placement (toggle beside it, rather than a duplicate key in
Scheduling).
- I planned to assert the queued-reason string is rewritten in OFF mode.
Measured that it is **unreachable**: when `maxConcurrent` binds, the
sweep bails before the per-task reason and logs nothing. The test
asserts absence instead.

Two near-misses caught before commit: a pre-existing FN-7505 guard
caught my *new* key missing a description mapping; and editing i18n via
`json.load/dump` silently dropped unrelated duplicate keys
(`autoUpdateAndRestart` in `fr`) — Python keeps only the last of a
duplicated key. Redone textually, every catalog re-validated.

## Verification

`pnpm lint` clean · core/engine/dashboard/i18n typecheck clean · `pnpm
test:gate` green (309 + 10 + 71) · capacity/worktree suites 11/11 ·
engine merge-invariant + scheduler 45/45 · dashboard settings 114/114.
Rebased onto current main and re-verified.

Nothing was booted at any point.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added a project setting to enable or disable running tasks in
worktrees.
* Disabling worktrees removes worktree capacity limits from task
scheduling.
* The “Max Worktrees” setting is disabled when worktree execution is
turned off.

* **Changes**
* Removed the unused triage concurrency setting from configuration and
dashboard responses.
* Updated scheduling diagnostics and queue messages to reflect disabled
worktree capacity limits.
  * Added localized labels and help text for the new setting.

summary: Add a "Limit concurrent worktrees" toggle — turn it off and Max Concurrent Tasks becomes the only limit. category: feature dev: New project setting worktreeLimitEnabled (default true). It is CAPACITY ONLY: tasks still execute in their own git worktree with it off — it decides whether the worktree count is a second limit alongside the agent count. When false, resolveWorktreeCapacityLimit returns null and the scheduler builds no worktree gate at all, so maxWorktrees is structurally incapable of binding rather than merely generous; ConcurrencyGateDiagnostic.maxWorktreesGate is now optional and the queued-reason string omits the worktree line. Absent worktreeLimitEnabled reads as true, so existing projects keep their cap. Also deletes maxTriageConcurrent, which had zero enforcement reads since FN-8453 removed its pool — the /config response no longer includes it.
