Error message

GitCommandError: workspace reset command failed (nonzero exit)

What it means

In ensure_release_workspace(), after detaching, the release workspace runs its reset/config command list (including `git config user.email/user.name`) via _safe_run; any nonzero exit raises GitCommandError so a half-configured release workspace is never returned.

Solutions

1. Read GitCommandError.stderr for the failing command (the cmd is stored on the exception).
2. Run `robomp cleanup owner/repo#release` (remove_workspace) to delete the poisoned release workspace, then retry.
3. Remove any stale .git/index.lock inside the release worktree if stderr mentions it.
4. Check /data volume writability and free space before retrying.

if not (repo_dir / '.git').exists():
    raise RuntimeError('release worktree missing; run robomp cleanup first')

def is_git_command_error(exc: BaseException) -> bool:
    return isinstance(exc, GitCommandError)

try:
    ws = manager.ensure_release_workspace(repo=repo, tag=tag)
except GitCommandError as e:
    manager.remove_workspace(repo=repo, number='release')  # reset poisoned workspace
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: Calling ensure_release_workspace() when any command in the reset list fails in repo_dir — checkout/reset against a dirty or locked worktree, config write failure, or missing git.

Common situations: Leftover untracked/locked files in the release worktree from a previously failed run; stale index.lock after a container crash; read-only or full /data volume; slot git env misconfiguration.
