描述
`archive_session` can time out while tearing down a large repository worktree, leaving the session and worktree behind without enough information to recover safely. This can consume substantial disk space and prevent reuse of the session branch.
## What happened
1. A native `archive_session` call tried to archive a terminally errored local project session with no file changes. The session used a linked worktree for a large repository.
2. The call returned:
```text
Failed to archive session: git command timed out after 60 seconds
```
3. Retrying once returned the same output.
4. After the first timeout, `get_session` still reported the session, branch, and worktree path, so cleanup had not completed.
5. The specific Git operation that timed out is unknown. The result did not say which operation failed, whether its subprocess was cancelled, which cleanup steps succeeded, or whether retrying or manual cleanup was safe.
The only safe immediate response was to leave the failed session isolated and create another session. That workaround can leave a large worktree on disk and keep its branch in use. The affected Copilot CLI version was not captured.
## Expected
Archiving should either complete for large worktrees or stop cleanly with enough structured state and supported recovery guidance to finish cleanup safely.
## Done when
- [ ] Worktree teardown uses a timeout that scales with repository size, is configurable, or assigns suitable budgets to individual Git operations.
- [ ] A timed-out Git subprocess is actually cancelled and cannot continue changing the worktree after the tool returns.
- [ ] Failure results identify the Git operation, cancellation outcome, completed cleanup steps, and remaining session, branch, and worktree state in a structured form.
- [ ] Cleanup is idempotent and resumable, or a supported cleanup primitive can safely finish a partially completed archive.
- [ ] Documentation explains when retrying is safe, how to inspect partial state, and how to recover without losing work or corrupting Git metadata.

貢獻指南
研究方向
從 archive_session 進入點開始,將其清理狀態與逾時後 get_session 回報的狀態進行比較。如果可以,請在大型關聯 worktree 上重現 60 秒失敗,接著追蹤回報了哪個 Git 操作以及哪些清理步驟。完成標準包括逾時處理、結構化的剩餘狀態、安全的重試或復原,以及有文件說明的部分封存行為。
