fix(server): a worktree handoff on Claude or Pi completes its run and starts the continuation - #36360

Eligibility
Worktree handoffs now persist requested continuations with the workspace binding and settle runs when the old provider session closes. The behavior remains scoped to handoffs, with existing Stop-request and provider restrictions retained.

Additional Thinking

Your Custom Policy

Applied default risk criteria. The assessed changes restore requested handoff behavior without changing product defaults and add no static-analysis suppression directives, so neither additional human-review condition applies.

Code

Queues an explicitly supplied worktree continuation within the metadata-update command rather than a later send. Session-detachment errors now identify the detached thread, allowing run finalization after a confirmed workspace move. Continuations retain provider-enabled checks, native-subagent restrictions and follow-up locking; finalization retains current-attempt and Stop-request guards. Assessment respects the five ignored files.

Review Context

Author is a repository admin and ping-devs member; no specific code ownership requirement was supplied. No unresolved review concerns or correctness findings were supplied; one thread was resolved. Two agents were skipped and UI Consistency was unknown, providing no passing-test evidence and imposing no applicable prerequisite. No blocking-severity configuration was supplied.

Verdict

The change is confined to requested workspace handoffs and optional continuations, using existing message dispatch and run-finalization mechanisms. Matching the detached thread and confirming a persisted workspace move limit the new settlement behavior; existing Stop and provider restrictions remain. No obvious material exposure or unresolved product decision requires human judgment.
