Deleting a project or Git worktree leaves its daemon data on disk and its daemons registered with pitchfork. This adds mise daemons prune to reclaim that storage explicitly, while preserving state for projects that still exist.

# Preview leftover state and its size across projects
mise daemons prune --dry-run

# Stop the affected daemons and confirm removal of their state and data
mise daemons prune

The command scans $MISE_STATE_DIR/daemons/, lists the affected project paths and storage sizes, and asks for confirmation before stopping daemons, unregistering their generated configuration, and deleting their configuration, state, and data. Removal is irreversible; the prompt defaults to no. Like the other daemon commands, it requires experimental mode.

Confirmation and retained state

  • --dry-run (-n) previews without deleting. The global --yes flag confirms ordinary removals non-interactively.
  • Paths that could belong to an unmounted volume or a deleted symlink require separate interactive confirmation. --yes skips them.
  • Projects that still exist keep their data, including projects that no longer declare daemons. A project that reappears before removal is also preserved.
  • Pitchfork must be available. Unreadable state, concurrent access, uncertain daemon status, database markers indicating possible activity, or failed configuration removal keep the affected state with a diagnostic so the user can resolve the condition and retry.

Pruning is classified as destructive for CLI and MCP consumers. Two empty lock files remain after removal to coordinate concurrent mise processes; subsequent prune runs ignore them.

Storage visibility

mise daemons ls --json adds root, state_dir, data_size (bytes), and data_size_human to each daemon row. These are project-wide values, repeated for daemons belonging to the same project, so users can inspect storage before deleting a worktree.

mise daemons start also displays a cleanup reminder when it finds eligible leftover state. It never deletes that state automatically.

Validation

The PR adds unit and end-to-end coverage for selection, confirmation, retained state, concurrent access, failed daemon-status checks, and removal. The documentation cleanup was checked with scoped formatting and Markdown linting, three CLI-reference tests, and regeneration of the prune Markdown and man-page text. Runtime tests were not rerun for the prose-only cleanup.

Note

Medium Risk
The command irreversibly deletes daemon databases and state, with elaborate safeguards, but mistakes on ambiguous paths or pitchfork status edge cases could still be costly; locking changes affect all daemon prepare/prune concurrency.

Overview
Adds mise daemons prune to find and remove pitchfork daemon state under $MISE_STATE_DIR/daemons/ when the project directory (or worktree) is gone. It supports --dry-run, interactive confirmation (default no), and --yes for ordinary orphans; ambiguous cases (unmounted volumes, deleted symlinks, path/hash mismatches) get a separate prompt and are skipped with --yes.

Removal is conservative: pitchfork must stop daemons, verify status, unregister config, and respect locks, live DB PID files, and concurrent ProjectLock usage (locks moved to sibling paths so prune can delete state safely). mise daemons ls --json now exposes state_dir, data_size, and data_size_human per project; mise daemons start nags when clear orphans exist but never auto-deletes.

Docs, usage spec, man page, and e2e coverage accompany the new src/daemons/prune.rs implementation and runtime raw_output / canonical state.root tweaks.

Every project root, including each linked git worktree, gets its own daemon
state directory under $MISE_STATE_DIR/daemons. Deleting the project left its
daemons registered with pitchfork and its database data on disk forever, with
nothing reporting it.

`mise daemons prune` removes state whose recorded project directory is gone:
it stops those daemon IDs, runs `pitchfork config remove` on the generated
configuration, and deletes the state directory including data. It prompts with
the total size (defaulting to no), honors --yes, and previews with --dry-run.
State for a project that still exists is never removed, even when it declares
no daemons any more.

`mise daemons ls --json` now reports root, state_dir, data_size, and a
human-readable size per daemon, and `mise daemons start` prints a one-line
notice when leftover state exists. Neither deletes anything: pruning stays
explicit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds mise daemons prune to identify, preview, confirm, and remove daemon state for deleted projects. It preserves state for existing or unreadable projects, reports storage fields in daemon listings, warns about orphaned state on startup, and documents the command.

Changes

Daemon state pruning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Orphan discovery and removal
src/daemons/mod.rs, src/daemons/prune.rs
The prune module scans readable state, selects entries with definitely missing roots, calculates sizes, handles locks and reappearing roots, stops daemons, unregisters configuration, and removes eligible state directories.
Prune CLI and daemon listing
src/cli/daemons.rs, src/daemons/runtime.rs, mise.usage.kdl, src/cli/command_effects.rs
The CLI adds daemons prune, dry-run output, confirmation handling, startup hints, and storage fields in ls JSON output. The daemon lock moves to a sibling path outside the state directory. The command is marked destructive.
Validation and references
e2e/cli/test_daemons, docs/cli/daemons.md, docs/cli/daemons/prune.md, docs/daemons.md, docs/.vitepress/cli_commands.ts, docs/public/llms.txt
Tests cover state retention, dry-run behavior, confirmed removal, active-project preservation, and startup hints. Documentation and command references describe the new command and its retention conditions.

Review found three ways prune could delete data it should have kept.

Orphan detection used Path::is_dir, which answers false for every metadata
error, not only a missing path. An unplugged volume, an unreachable network
mount, or a root mise cannot stat read as a deleted project. Only a filesystem
NotFound now counts as deleted; any other error keeps the state and says why.

Failures from pitchfork were logged and ignored, so a stop that timed out or a
config remove that errored still deleted the data a live daemon may have been
writing to. Those now keep the entry for a later run. A root that reappears
between the confirmation prompt and the lock is also kept, since selection and
the prompt both happen before the lock is held.

The project.lock being deleted sat inside the directory with its handle still
open, which Windows refuses to remove. The directory is now emptied under the
lock, the lock released, and the directory itself dropped afterwards.

remove() returns an Outcome rather than a bool so the caller reports only what
actually went.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep the removal lock valid through final state deletion.

The existing entry.orphaned() check runs after prune acquires project.lock, so it fixes the earlier pre-lock race. It does not protect the later gap after drop(lock).

If the project root is recreated in that gap, Runtime::prepare can reacquire project.lock and write fresh state.json and pitchfork.toml into the same state directory. remove_all(cwd) can then delete that fresh state.

Use a stable lock outside cwd, and have both Runtime::prepare and prune hold that lock through the final recursive deletion. An additional orphan check does not close this release-to-delete window.

Deleting the state directory without pitchfork removes state.json and the
generated configuration, which are the only record a later run could use to
stop the daemons and unregister the configuration. Prune now keeps such an
entry and says pitchfork is required, matching how it treats a stop or
unregister that fails.

Releasing the project lock before deleting the directory left a window where a
racing prepare() for a restored project could take the same lock and write
fresh state into the directory a moment before it was removed.

The directory is now renamed out of the way while the lock is still held, which
is atomic and puts the data beyond the reach of any later prepare(); the lock is
released only afterwards. A rename that fails keeps the state rather than
falling back to a racy delete. A directory left by a crash between the rename
and the delete still carries its state.json, so the next prune finishes it.

The lock serializing one project's daemon state lived inside the directory that
prune deletes, which made it impossible to hold across the deletion. Releasing
it first left a window where a prepare() for a restored project could write
fresh state into the doomed directory; renaming around that still left the two
processes briefly locking different files.

prepare() and prune now coordinate on a sibling of the state directory, so the
lock stays valid through the removal, nothing else can prepare that state while
it is being deleted, and Windows is never asked to delete a file whose handle is
still open.

Older mise versions lock the previous path, so a prune racing a daemon start
from a different version is not serialized; daemons are experimental and the
two paths converge as soon as both sides are on this version.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Unregister the external config even when its file is gone.

Runtime::prepare registers the generated path with pitchfork config add. Pitchfork stores that registration separately and supports removing it when the file is missing. The config.exists() guard skips removal, then remove_all deletes state.json. The stale registration remains, and a later prune cannot discover it. Call config remove unconditionally and retain the entry if that command fails.

Moving the lock out of the state directory left a gap: a daemon start from an
older mise locks the path inside the directory, so it would not have excluded a
prune from this version, and the two could have raced over the same state.

prepare() and prune now hold both locks, sibling first so they cannot deadlock.
Prune releases the older, inner lock just before deleting the directory that
contains it, keeping the sibling lock across the removal; every version that
can prune has that one. The inner lock can go once no supported version takes
it.

Deleting the state directory in place can fail part way through, on a file that
is busy or unreadable. state.json is what makes a directory an entry at all, so
losing it first would turn a partial failure into leftover state that no later
prune can see and that a prepare() for a restored project would build on top of.

state.json is now removed last, and a failed delete keeps the entry with a
warning instead of ending the run, so the remaining orphans are still pruned and
this one is retried next time.

Three review findings in prune:

- `pitchfork config remove` was skipped when the generated file no longer
  existed, but pitchfork stores the registration separately, so the stale
  registration would have outlived the only state that could find it. It now
  runs unconditionally.
- The older in-directory lock was released before the data was deleted, so an
  older mise could have entered prepare() while a database tree was still being
  removed. It is now held until the data is gone, and released only for the
  removal of the lock file itself.
- A failure to remove the directory after state.json was gone left residue no
  later run could see. state.json is written back in that case, and a lock
  error now keeps just that entry instead of ending the run.

Once the in-directory lock is released, a prepare() from an older mise can
still write into the directory whose last files are being removed, and the
sibling lock does not exclude it.

The final two steps now verify instead of assuming. state.json must still be
byte for byte the file that was selected, which the entry now carries, and the
directory must be empty, which a non-recursive remove_dir enforces. Either
check failing means another process is using this state, so it is left in place
with its state file intact and reported as kept.

The recovery path wrote the selected state.json back whenever the directory
could not be removed. A prepare() that had written its own state.json there is
the likeliest reason that removal fails, and overwriting it would replace
current state with stale bytes. The write now happens only when no state file
is present.

Any error from the status check counted as "not running", so a timeout, a reply
that would not parse, or a transient supervisor failure let prune delete data a
live process was writing to. The database lock scan is a second line of defence
and only knows the markers it recognizes.

Only two answers now allow the data to go: pitchfork reporting the daemon as
not running, and pitchfork not having the id at all, which state.ids
accumulates and which cannot be running. A timeout, an unparsable reply, a
missing status field, or a failure that says anything other than "unknown"
keeps the state and says which id could not be checked.

The e2e test covers it with a supervisor whose status call fails for a reason
other than not knowing the id.

The unmounted-volume check only looked for a mount point left behind empty, but
macOS removes /Volumes/Name entirely when a disk is unplugged, and a Windows
drive letter goes the same way. The first existing ancestor is then an ordinary
busy directory, so prune called the project definitely deleted and --yes removed
its data. A project's own parent being gone as well is now the second sign:
deleting a project removes the project, not the directory it sat in.

Daemons are also checked with pitchfork whether or not the supervisor is up. A
crashed supervisor can leave a database running, and the lock file scan only
knows the markers it recognizes: the Redis preset writes none at all, so its
append-only file could be deleted while redis-server had it open.

The last check before a recursive delete tolerated two failures it should not
have. A status call that failed silently counted as "no such daemon", so a
crashed pitchfork read as proof nothing was running; and "no such" matched "No
such file or directory", which is what a missing supervisor socket reports.
Redis writes no lock file to catch either.

A failure is now tolerated only when it says which daemon is missing and names
this one. Anything else keeps the state and says which id could not be checked.

The e2e fake reports unknown ids the way pitchfork does, and covers both a
status that fails with an unrelated message and one that fails silently.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Windows side of the liveness check took every pid file at its word, so a
stale marker left by a crash kept that project's data forever, which is the
failure the check was added to avoid. windows-unit caught it: the test asserting
a crashed instance no longer holds its data fails when nothing is ever reported
as gone.

The pid is now opened for a limited-information query. A handle that does not
open means the process is gone, unless access was denied, which means it is
there and owned by somebody else. A handle that opens is not proof on its own,
since pids are reused, so the exit code settles it.

Verified against windows-sys for the msvc target; the crate itself cannot be
cross-checked here because its C dependencies need an MSVC toolchain.

Third pass at 216f962ba, cargo test daemons 38 passed. Verdict: merge after one small fix.

All three items from the last round are fixed:

  • Stop is one id at a time (src/daemons/prune.rs:290-296) and confirm_stopped (:376-407) decides on pitchfork status <id> --json, keeping state on running|waiting|stopping, timeout, or unparsable output. The e2e drives the partial-stop, broken-status, and silent-failure cases through a fake pitchfork. This is the right design.
  • Stale postmaster.pid: pid parsed and checked with kill(pid, 0) / OpenProcess with EPERM and ACCESS_DENIED counted as alive (:487-548). Pid-less LOCK markers still count as live, acknowledged.
  • Unreadable ancestor and vanished parent both route to the person-only group (ambiguity() ~:100-127).

One residual hole: names_this_as_unknown (prune.rs:425-437) is still a substring match, accepting a failure when the id or its short name appears alongside "not found"/"no such"/"not registered". With the supervisor down, an I/O error such as No such file or directory: .../db.sock for id ns/db satisfies both and is read as "not running". Short names make incidental matches likely. Gate that acceptance on supervisor_up == true: a supervisor that is up and says it has no such daemon is trustworthy; one that is down cannot answer and its I/O errors must not be read as answers.

Minor: confirm_stopped runs pitchfork status per historical id even when the supervisor is down, each with a 15 s timeout, so a project with many accumulated ids and a hung pitchfork makes prune slow. Not a safety issue. Branch merges cleanly onto current main.

AI-assisted review (Claude Code, claude-fable-5-1).

The message is matched by substring, and an I/O error naming a path satisfies
it by accident: "No such file or directory: .../db.sock" contains both "no
such" and the short name of ns/db. With the supervisor down that read as "not
running", which is the one answer that lets the data go.

A supervisor that is up and reports no such daemon is answering the question.
One that is down is failing to reach anything, and its errors are not answers,
so that acceptance is now gated on the supervisor being up.

The e2e fake reports a stopped daemon by default, so the case it exercises is
the one under test: an unknown id keeps the state while the supervisor is down
and prunes once it is up.

Fixed in 5666198. The acceptance is gated on supervisor_up, exactly as you described: a supervisor that is up and reports no such daemon is answering, one that is down is failing to reach anything and its I/O errors are not answers. Your .../db.sock example is the case, since the short name makes the accidental match easy.

The e2e fake now reports a stopped daemon by default rather than an unknown one, so the unknown-id path is only taken where it is under test: the same id keeps the state while the supervisor is down and prunes once it is up.

On the timeout point, prune stops at the first id it cannot confirm, so a hung pitchfork costs one 15 s wait rather than one per id. The slow case is a supervisor that answers every id slowly, which I left alone.

Two conflicts, both from #13339 landing in the same functions.

prepare() gained an owns_profile parameter on main while this branch moved its
lock out of the state directory; it now takes both.

The daemons ls listing was rewritten on main to handle namespaces, and this
branch had only added the two figures the row reports, so main's listing stands
with those put back on top of it.

Gating the unknown-id tolerance on a running supervisor did not close it: a
status call can fail with "No such file or directory: .../db.sock" while the
supervisor is up, which says something is missing and carries the short name of
ns/db in the path. A daemon whose socket has gone is unreachable, not stopped.

The message now has to say the missing thing is a daemon as well as naming this
one, so an I/O error no longer reads as pitchfork having no such daemon.

A project whose root is the mount itself goes missing without either of the
other signs: unplugging /Volumes/Disk leaves /Volumes behind with the other
disks still in it, and a drive root has no parent to lose. Such a root read as
an ordinary deleted project, so --yes would have deleted its daemon data.

Where each platform mounts volumes is a convention rather than something the
filesystem still says once the volume is gone, so those conventions are listed:
/Volumes, /media, /mnt, /run/media/<user>, and a filesystem root.

Linux desktops mount removable volumes at /media/<user>/<label>, one level
below the directory the check knew about, so an unplugged Ubuntu volume whose
project sat at the mount point looked like an ordinary deleted project while
another disk kept /media/<user> in place.

Both depths of /media now count, alongside the /run/media form that already
did, and the path comparisons go through one spelling instead of mixing string
and component matching.

Checked the head. confirm_stopped now takes supervisor_up and runs for every id regardless of supervisor state (src/daemons/prune.rs:315-320), which was my last ask. One gate medium is still open and I agree with it, though it is not a data-loss path: raw_output returns Ok on a non-zero exit, so the per-id if let Err at prune.rs:294 never fires for a refused stop, contradicting the comment above it. confirm_stopped right after is the real gate, so either check the exit status there too or reword the comment to say the status pass is what decides. Merge after that; the trail goes green with it.

AI-assisted review (Claude Code, claude-fable-5-1).

raw_output returns Ok for a non-zero exit, so the error arm never fired for a
refused stop and the comment above it described a check that was not happening.
Not a data-loss path, since confirm_stopped is what decides, but the comment
claimed otherwise.

The loop now matches on the exit status and notes a refusal at debug level
instead of passing over it silently. A refusal still does not keep the state:
an id pitchfork has forgotten cannot be stopped and does not need to be, and
every id has to clear the status pass before anything is deleted. Only being
unable to run pitchfork at all stops the attempt there.

Thanks for relaying the finding, and it is right: raw_output returns Ok for a non-zero exit, so that error arm only ever fired for a spawn or timeout failure, and the comment above it described a check that was not happening.

Fixed in 507202b. The loop now matches on the exit status and notes a refusal at debug level rather than passing over it in silence, and the comment says what is actually true: asking is all the stop loop does, a refusal says nothing about whether the daemon is running, and confirm_stopped is what every id has to clear before anything is deleted. I kept a refusal non-fatal on purpose, since an id pitchfork has forgotten cannot be stopped and does not need to be; making it fatal would strand those entries again.

Three conflicts, all from #13342 touching the same places.

prepare() gained a `starting` parameter on main while this branch moved its
lock out of the state directory; it takes both.

The daemons ls row reports main's port fields alongside this branch's project
figures.

Both sides appended self-contained blocks to the daemons e2e test, so both are
kept; the fake pitchfork's status handling merged cleanly.

Comment thread src/daemons/prune.rs
Accepting a failed status when the message carried the daemon's short name was
too loose: a daemon called `file` or `found` has a name that appears in ordinary
I/O text, so a supervisor that could not answer could still read as having no
such daemon.

The whole id has to appear now, and not as part of a longer word or path, since
that is where an error about a missing socket would carry it. This is the id
pitchfork was given, so an answer about it quotes it as given.

Comment thread src/daemons/prune.rs Outdated
Requiring the whole id fixed the accidental matches but would have stranded
state under older pitchfork versions, which report only the short name:
"Daemon db not found" for ns/db was no longer recognized, so that state could
never be pruned.

A message also counts when it names the daemon straight after the word
"daemon", which is how these messages read. The same name elsewhere in a
sentence still does not, so "daemon socket error: no such file or directory"
remains a failure to answer rather than an answer about a daemon called file.

507202b resolves the last item: the stop loop now matches on exit status and the comment says what actually decides, which is confirm_stopped. Keeping a refusal non-fatal is the right call for the reasons given. Gate has no current findings. Merge once the remaining CI shards finish.
