* fix(daemon): reclaim disk on long-open issues + correct cancelled-status check
Two related fixes for GitHub #1890 (self-hosted disk space growth):
- The GC's done/cancelled branch compared `status.Status` against `"canceled"`
(single l), but the issue schema and the rest of the daemon use `"cancelled"`
(double l). Cancelled issues therefore never matched and only fell out via the
72h orphan TTL, which itself doesn't fire because cancelled issues are still
reachable. Aligning the spelling lets cancelled-issue task dirs be reclaimed
on the normal TTL path.
- Add a third GC mode, artifact-only cleanup, for the common case the report
flagged: an issue stays open for days while many tasks complete on it, so
per-task `node_modules`, `.next` and `.turbo` directories accumulate without
ever becoming GC-eligible. The new branch fires when `.gc_meta.completed_at`
is older than `MULTICA_GC_ARTIFACT_TTL` (default 12h), the env root is not
currently in use by an active task, and the issue is still alive. It removes
only directories whose basename matches `MULTICA_GC_ARTIFACT_PATTERNS`
(default narrow: `node_modules,.next,.turbo`); source, `.git`, `output/`,
`logs/` and the meta file are preserved so subsequent tasks can still resume
the workdir. Patterns containing path separators are dropped, `.git` subtrees
are never descended into, symlinked matches are not followed, and every
removal target is verified to live inside the task dir.
Bookkeeping: `Daemon` now tracks active env roots with a refcounted set so the
GC loop never reclaims a directory that is mid-execution; `runTask` claims the
predicted root early plus the prior workdir on reuse paths. The cycle log is
extended with bytes reclaimed and per-pattern counts so self-hosted operators
can see what was freed.
Docs: extend the daemon configuration table in CLI_AND_DAEMON.md with the new
GC env vars and add a Workspace garbage collection section explaining the
three modes and the artifact-pattern contract.

* fix(daemon): protect active env root from full GC removal too
Address GPT-Boy's PR #1931 review: the active-root guard only fired in the
artifact-cleanup branch, leaving a real race on the full-removal paths. A
follow-up comment on a long-done issue dispatches a task that reuses the prior
workdir, but `CreateComment` does not bump issue.updated_at — so the issue
still satisfies the done+stale GCTTL window and `gcActionClean` would
`RemoveAll` the directory mid-execution. The orphan-404 path is similarly
exposed when a token's workspace access is in flux.
Move the `isActiveEnvRoot` check to the top of `shouldCleanTaskDir` so all
three delete actions (clean, orphan, artifact) skip an in-use env root in one
place, and drop the now-redundant guard from the artifact branch.
Add tests covering the three at-risk paths: active root + done/stale issue,
active root + 404 issue past orphan TTL, active root + no-meta orphan past
TTL.
Also align two stale comments noted in the same review: cleanTaskArtifacts now
documents that symlinks are skipped entirely (the previous note implied the
link itself was removed), and GCOrphanTTL no longer claims that 404s are
cleaned immediately — the implementation gates them on the same TTL.

* feat(daemon/gc): tighten GC defaults + flex duration suffix
Driven by user feedback in #1539 (40 GB VPS filling within 24h of heavy
AI-coding usage): the existing TTLs were sized for desktop/laptop
deployments and are too lenient for small-disk, long-running daemons.
- GCTTL: 5d → 24h. Done/canceled issues almost never need a multi-day
grace period in AI-coding workflows.
- GCOrphanTTL: 30d → 72h. Covers crash-leftover and pre-GC directories
without a month-long wait.
- Issue-deleted orphans (API returns 404) are now cleaned on the next GC
cycle regardless of mtime. The issue row is gone; there is nothing
left to protect.
- parseFlexDuration: accept a `d` (day) suffix in addition to the stdlib
time.ParseDuration syntax. MULTICA_GC_TTL=5d now works; previously only
120h was accepted.
* fix(daemon/gc): address review — 404 safety + decimal/overflow in duration parser
Two issues flagged in PR review:
1. 404-immediate-clean is unsafe. The /gc-check endpoint returns 404 for
both "issue deleted" AND "daemon token has no access to the workspace"
(anti-enumeration, see requireDaemonWorkspaceAccess). Clean-on-404
would let a scoped-down daemon token wipe taskDirs whose issues are
still live. Restore the mtime gate against GCOrphanTTL. With the new
72h default we still shrink the original 30d window dramatically
without the cross-workspace hazard. Lock the behavior in with a new
test that asserts a recent 404 is skipped.
2. parseFlexDuration mishandled decimals and swallowed Atoi errors:
"0.5d" → 7m12s (regex matched only the "5d"), "1.5d" → 1h7m12s,
and 20+ digit day values Atoi-errored silently to 0. Match the full
decimal number with `\d*\.\d+|\d+` and parse with ParseFloat so
fractional days and oversized inputs both go through
time.ParseDuration correctly — fractions as sub-hour durations,
overflow as a returned error.
The context cancel in pruneRepoWorktrees was called explicitly after
CombinedOutput inside a loop. Extract to a helper method so defer
cancel() works correctly (scoped to the function, not the loop).

- Move WriteGCMeta from runTask() to handleTask() so it runs after
task completion, not at start. Mid-task crashes leave orphan dirs
that get cleaned by GCOrphanTTL.
- Strengthen isBareRepo to check both HEAD and objects/ directory.
- Remove empty workspace directories after all task dirs are cleaned.
- Add 30s context timeout to git worktree prune to prevent hangs.
- Add comprehensive unit tests for shouldCleanTaskDir (8 scenarios),
cleanTaskDir, gcWorkspace empty-dir cleanup, isBareRepo, and
WriteGCMeta/ReadGCMeta roundtrip.

Isolation directories accumulate indefinitely because they're preserved
for session reuse but never cleaned up after the issue is closed.
This adds a background GC loop that periodically scans local workspace
directories and removes those whose issue is done/canceled and hasn't
been updated for 5 days (configurable via MULTICA_GC_TTL). Orphan
directories with no metadata are cleaned after 30 days.
Changes:
- Write .gc_meta.json (issue_id, workspace_id) at task completion
- Add GET /api/daemon/issues/{issueId}/gc-check endpoint for status queries
- Add gcLoop goroutine to daemon with configurable interval/TTL
- Prune stale git worktree references from bare repo caches each cycle
- New env vars: MULTICA_GC_ENABLED, MULTICA_GC_INTERVAL, MULTICA_GC_TTL,
MULTICA_GC_ORPHAN_TTL
