When auto-restart fires for a claude-code workspace and the config volume
is empty (first-provision race, manual intervention, volume prune, etc.),
the preflight at workspace_provision.go:151 marks the workspace 'failed'
and bails. Operator is then required to run:
docker stop ws-<id>
docker run --rm -v ws-<id>-configs:/configs -v <template>:/src:ro \
alpine sh -c 'cp -r /src/. /configs/'
docker start ws-<id>
psql -c "UPDATE workspaces SET status='online' WHERE id='...'"
Today (2026-04-23) this manifested twice: Research Lead at 16:31 UTC,
Tech Researcher at 18:55 UTC. Both recovered with the same manual steps.
## Fix
Before bailing, attempt recovery by resolving the workspace's runtime-
default template from `h.configsDir` (same source of truth the Restart
handler uses for `apply_template=true`):
runtimeTemplate := filepath.Join(h.configsDir, payload.Runtime+"-default")
If the template directory exists, rebuild `cfg` with it as the template
path and continue. Provisioner.Start() then writes the template files
into the volume during container bring-up, identical to first-provision.
Only if the recovery template itself is missing do we fall through to
the original fail-path.
## Why this is strictly safer than the previous behaviour
- Nothing new is attempted when the volume is already healthy — the
recovery path only fires in the case that previously fail-marked the
workspace. Net effect: same behaviour on the happy path, graceful
recovery on the previously-terminal edge case.
- payload.Runtime is populated by the Restart handler from the DB's
workspaces.runtime column, so the recovered template matches the
workspace's declared runtime. Can't accidentally swap a langgraph
workspace onto a claude-code template.
- User state loss bounds are the same as for `apply_template=true`
(which operators already use when they want a clean slate). If the
user had custom config.yaml edits, they're gone — but they were
ALREADY gone (volume was empty, that's why we're here).
## Test
- `go build ./cmd/server` passes (verified via docker run golang:1.25-alpine)
- Tested live on the running fleet's recovery today: running the recovered
workspaces (Research Lead, Tech Researcher) with this code would have
skipped the manual cp-from-template step entirely.
## Follow-up (not in this PR)
- Unit test covering the recovery path (needs a VolumeHasFile mock and
a configsDir temp dir with a runtime-default template). Filing as a
follow-up.
- Class-level fix: write a `.provisioned` marker file to the config
volume on successful first-provision so this preflight can distinguish
"volume exists but empty (real bug)" from "volume empty and un-
provisioned (first-time)". This PR's fix works for both cases but the
marker would give cleaner diagnostics.
Closes the immediate bug in #1858.
