Error message

stale_team_artifacts:${teamName}:${worktreePaths.length}_worktrees:pass_confirmStaleCleanup_or_manually_remove

What it means

Thrown during stale team cleanup when stale worktree artifacts are found but no confirmation callback was supplied; the API refuses to destructively delete worktrees without user confirmation.

Solutions

1. Pass a confirmFn/confirmStaleCleanup callback to the cleanup API
2. Or manually remove the listed worktrees and the team state dir, then retry

Example fix

// before
cleanupStaleTeam({ teamName, cwd });
// after
cleanupStaleTeam({ teamName, cwd, confirmStaleCleanup: async (summary) => true });

const hasArtifacts = worktreePaths.length > 0; if (hasArtifacts && !confirmFn) { /* supply callback or clean manually */ }

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking stale-team cleanup for a team with leftover worktree paths while omitting the confirmStaleCleanup callback parameter.

Common situations: Scripts calling cleanup programmatically without wiring an interactive confirmation; leftover worktrees after a crashed team run.
