Repo "${args.repoId}" not found

Error message

Repo "${args.repoId}" not found

What it means

Thrown by the sparsePresets:save IPC handler when store.getRepo(args.repoId) returns null. The repo must exist before a sparse-checkout preset can be attached to it. The handler then normalizes name/directories, so the repo check is the first precondition.

Solutions

1. Subscribe to sparsePresets/repos change events and close preset editors when the repo disappears.
2. Verify store.getRepo presence before opening the save dialog.
3. Catch the error and discard the in-progress preset draft with a user notice.
4. Scope preset drafts to the current repo lifecycle, not to long-lived component state.

Example fix

// before
ipc.invoke('sparsePresets:save', { repoId, name, directories })

// after
const repo = await ipc.invoke('repos:get', repoId)
if (!repo) {
  closePresetEditor()
  showNotice('This repo was removed; preset discarded.')
  return
}
ipc.invoke('sparsePresets:save', { repoId, name, directories })

const repo = await ipc.invoke('repos:get', repoId)
if (!repo) {
  closePresetEditor()
  showNotice('Repo was removed; preset discarded.')
  return
}
await ipc.invoke('sparsePresets:save', { repoId, name, directories })

function repoStillListed(repoId: string, repos: { id: string }[]): boolean {
  return repos.some((r) => r.id === repoId)
}

try {
  await ipc.invoke('sparsePresets:save', { repoId, name, directories })
} catch (e) {
  if (/not found/.test((e as Error).message)) {
    discardDraft(repoId)
    refreshRepos()
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: Saving a sparse preset for a repo that was removed, belongs to another workspace, or whose id is stale after a re-import. Also when the preset editor is left open across a repo deletion.

Common situations: Editor/dialog open during a repos:changed event that removed the repo; preset draft persisted in renderer state after workspace switch; id copied from an older session.
