Explanation
For [
#22796],ClaudeAdapterV2.tsno longer passes the current workspace as the Claude SDKforkSessiondiroption. The fork still receives the source session and cursor, and its later turn uses the current project root. The real-SDK regression test uses a transcript under the old workspace path. Replay fixtures verify the updated fork request. The separate subagent lookup remains unchanged, as required by the issue scope.

Explanation
The changes stay within [
#22796]. The production change fixes Claude fork lookup after a workspace-root change. The regression test, replay fixtures, andpr-22836-fork-moved-root.tsevidence driver validate this behavior. Theknip.jsoncentry supports the added evidence driver. No unrelated provider, MCP, UI, or subagent behavior changes are shown.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Needs Human Approval Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The fork change allows Claude to locate existing transcripts after a project root moves. An unresolved review reports that the evidence script places an authentication token in shareable output; credential exclusion or isolation needs confirmation. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Do not write ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to the evidence directory in plaintext.
Line 74 writes claudeEnv to <out>/claude-home/settings.json with the default file mode. claudeEnv can contain ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, which is a credential. The comment on Lines 59-60 says the script copies "never credentials directories", but it does copy the token.
This directory is the output meant for PR evidence. Someone can attach or commit it with the token inside. server.log redacts only bootstrap.
The server already receives claudeEnv through env on Line 138. The settings file may therefore be redundant. If the SDK needs it, restrict the file mode. Also keep claudeHome outside evidence, for example under NodeOS.tmpdir(), and copy only the transcripts needed into evidence.

EvidenceCreate a Claude conversation at directory A remembering ORCHID, move the repository to B, update the project's workspaceRoot, successfully continue the parent, then fork its first response and ask for the remembered word. Environment on both sides: separately built web client and real server, Chromium, 1280×800 CSS viewport, light theme, fresh synthetic database, isolated Claude transcript home. Mutations use the same RPC driver. Runtime model labels and internal paths are redacted.
Base: parent continues successfully, but the fork fails because Claude cannot find the source session under B. Head: the fork completes with ORCHID; its transcript records inherited history from A and the first fork message at B. Shared reproduction driver · Sanitized runtime summary AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above. Not shown:

Problem
Forking a Claude thread after changing its project's workspace root created a fork whose first turn failed: the SDK searched for the source transcript under the new directory, while it remained under the original one.
Change
Stop restricting
forkSessionto the current cwd. The SDK finds the native session ID within the selected Claude home, copies it at the requested assistant cursor, and the fork's first turn still runs at the current project root. Provider-home handling and the MCP contract are unchanged.Scope and approval

## Evidencebelow, recaptured at 6c15210)The committed adapter test contains the rebuildable fixture. Server-only change: no render paths or fork dialog changed, so pixel comparisons do not apply. Supplementary real-app captures show the first-turn outcome (Chromium 154/Linux, no emulation, 1280×800 CSS pixels, DPR 2, light appearance):
What else changed: one existing test now copies a real synthetic transcript. Since the first review, the recorder and eight outbound fork frames across six replay fixtures omit the stale directory restriction. The strict replay matcher, transcript content, cursors, session IDs, and subsequent resume expectations are unchanged. These stale frames caused all four original CI failures: the replay mismatch left fork runs in starting. Production code is unchanged since the first reviewed head; the real-SDK moved-root regression still fails with the main adapter and passes with the fix. Proof audit pass 2 was not rerun because this round changed only test infrastructure and fixtures; both earlier proof audits remain applicable. The screenshots differ in titles, sidebar thread count, timestamps, fixture prompt, and failure/success content because they record separate attempts; no layout change is claimed. No dependency patch or production parser/regex/loop added.
Unverified: mobile fork, Windows/macOS runtime, remote/relay connections, providers beyond the Codex comparison, live no-cursor fallback, and the preexisting separate subagent-launch cwd pinning. Earlier-cursor truncation is SDK-owned; the regression test proves cursor forwarding and inheritance, not the SDK's truncation algorithm.
Both proof audits: SUFFICIENT. Audit results.
Model: GPT-6.1-Sol. Harness: Codex in T3 Code.
Evidence
Recaptured on the current branch; this supersedes the runtime links and the screenshots above, which were captured at f3ecffb6d9 and earlier. Before = merge-base 8d3b061121. After = 6c15210198, which merges main into this branch. The later commits fbe839d80b and 5434747675 only add the driver script and its knip entry, so the server code is unchanged since the capture.
