`mv "$incoming" "$dir"` moves the source INSIDE $dir when $dir already exists as a directory. The bootstrap's own test is `[ ! -e "$dir/.git" ]`, which is true of an empty $dir, so the clone runs, the rename succeeds (quietly producing $dir/<basename>.incoming), and the failure branch below it never fires. $dir still has no .git, so every later run clones again and leaves another nested copy — while the supervisor comment promises a restart costs one local git command, not a clone. $dir is reachable in that state without anything going wrong: checkout.path takes a nested value like src/agent-box, and the shipped guide tells the agent to read that tree, so one `mkdir -p` by an operator or an agent is enough. source-tree.sh already solves this for the same rename — reclaim an empty directory with rmdir, refuse a non-empty one — so this is that guard, in the sibling that was missing it, worded the same way. Two assertions, in the file where this script's refusals are tested: an empty $dir is reclaimed and the clone lands at $dir itself, and a non-empty $dir is refused with its contents untouched and nothing published. Negative control: both fail against the pre-fix script, and the failure output shows the clone proceeding where it should have refused. Found by CodeRabbit on PR #488, outside that PR's diff. Its companion finding in the same review — that agent-box-update.service.path needs pkgs.gnugrep — is NOT included: source-tree.sh contains no grep, and neither does the rendered update script, so the premise does not hold. NIX_BUILD_RC=0 over all 26 aarch64 checks, 85 native tests OK, and tests/test-checkout-bootstrap.sh passes.

The first cut checked $dir and then renamed onto it, which leaves a window: another run creating $dir between the check and the mv would put the clone INSIDE it after all — the very nesting the check exists to prevent. `mv -T` closes it by not needing the check. -T names the DESTINATION rather than a directory to move into, so rename(2) decides: an empty $dir is replaced, a non-empty one is refused, and neither outcome nests. A concurrent run creating $dir can now only change which branch is taken. So the pre-check is gone rather than serialized, and the failure message says what to do about the case it used to catch. Fewer moving parts than the guard source-tree.sh uses for the same rename, and no lock. Both assertions stand and still fail against the pre-fix script: an empty $dir is reclaimed with the tree landing at $dir itself, and a non-empty one is refused with its contents untouched and nothing published. There is no deterministic test for overlapping starts and I did not invent one — the property is now enforced by rename(2), not by our own ordering, so a test would be exercising coreutils rather than this script.

"No .git in $dir" does not catch a nested publish: a clone landing at $dir/<basename>.incoming leaves the foreign file intact and $dir/.git absent too, so the assertion passed on exactly the state it was written to reject. The nested path is now named. Not asserted absent: the SIBLING $dir.incoming. A refusal deliberately leaves that staging tree for the next run to reclaim — the "interrupted clone" case above depends on it — so this asserts it is PRESENT instead, which pins the half of the behaviour that was untested. Negative control, against a variant of the current script with `mv -T` downgraded to plain `mv`: both destination cases fail. CodeRabbit on PR #501.
