A verification/review/audit subagent YOU dispatched (Workflow agents, Explore, general-purpose, code-reviewer — anything with Bash) runs a file-level `git checkout <path>` / `git restore <path>` / `git stash` to compare your work against HEAD, and silently REVERTS your uncommitted working-tree edit in the shared worktree. The agent then reports that edit as "missing / not persisted / blocker", and sibling agents pile onto the phantom. Use when: (1) a review or verification agent reports a…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# A dispatched Bash agent's `git checkout` reverts your uncommitted worktree edit

## Problem

You dispatch one or more Bash-capable subagents (a `Workflow` fan-out, `Explore`,
`general-purpose`, `code-reviewer`, etc.) to review/verify work in the **same git
worktree** where you have **uncommitted edits**. An agent, investigating "is X
present / persisted?", runs a **file-level** git command to compare against HEAD:

```
git checkout analysis/SQL/foo.toml     # or: git restore <path> / git stash
```

This reverts your uncommitted edit to that file back to HEAD. The agent then reads
the reverted file, finds your change gone, and reports a **false "missing / not
persisted / blocker"** finding. In a multi-agent review, other agents reading the
same now-reverted file repeat the phantom — so a majority can "fail" on something
that was actually correct and committed-in-spirit.

This is distinct from its siblings:
- `concurrent-session-checkout-clobbers-shared-worktree` — an *unknown* session
  flips the *branch* (`git checkout <branch>` / `git switch`). Here the clobberer
  is *an agent you dispatched* running a *file-level* checkout/restore/stash.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/dispatched-bash-agent-git-checkout-clobbers-uncommitted-edit@sha256:2f5dc8c7f31c2032

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
