Description

What

`LocationServiceMap` keeps a Location alive based on a process-local `existsSync(ref.directory)` (see `packages/core/src/location-services.ts` / `location-service-map.ts` existence check). For a workspace-backed Location whose directory only exists inside the sandbox (e.g. `/workspace` in a Modal image, DO-hosted sessions), this check consults the wrong filesystem: the Location can be evicted or never admitted even though the placement is healthy.

Fix direction

Skip the local existence check when `location.workspaceID` is set. Workspace liveness is owned by the workspace row plus the provider binding; a cheap substitute is "workspace row exists", which is already a point read. Do not probe the sandbox for liveness — that would provision lazily-idle workspaces.

Acceptance

  • A workspace Location whose directory does not exist on the server host builds and survives.
  • Local Location eviction behavior unchanged.

Found while auditing boot-cycle process-vs-workspace resolution after #44526. Mechanical fix; no design dependency.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the existence check in packages/core/src/location-services.ts and location-service-map.ts, then trace how workspaceID is handled for a Location. Confirm that workspace-backed Locations do not depend on the server filesystem while local Location eviction remains unchanged. Use the issue’s acceptance criteria to verify that a workspace directory absent on the host can still build and remain alive.
