**Which repositories.** git finds a repository by walking *up* from the session's working directory, so:
- Inside a repository (or at its root): that one repository, whole (a subfolder reports its enclosing repo, `path` says where it is, e.g. `../..`). A nested repo below it is just an untracked folder to the outer one and is not scanned; start the session inside it to see it.
- **Not** inside one (a folder that holds several projects): every repository found up to **two levels down**, nearest and alphabetical first, at most 12 (`reposTruncated` says when there were more). Dot-folders, `node_modules`, `dist`, `build`, `target`, `vendor`, `venv` and `__pycache__` are skipped, symlinks are never followed, and a repository's own contents are not searched. The list of repositories is re-scanned at most every 30 s; each repository's status is cached for 4 s.
- **Not** inside one (a folder that holds several projects): every repository found up to **two levels down**, nearest and alphabetical first, at most `maxRepos` of them (default 12, 1 to 50; `reposTruncated` says when there were more and `repoLimit` is the limit that was applied). Dot-folders, `node_modules`, `dist`, `build`, `target`, `vendor`, `venv` and `__pycache__` are skipped, symlinks are never followed, and a repository's own contents are not searched. The list of repositories is re-scanned at most every 30 s; each repository's status is cached for 4 s.
- A repository that merely sits **above** the workspace and is the home folder or higher (a dotfiles repo in `$HOME`, or `/`) is ignored: its dirty files are not this session's work. A workspace that *is* that repository's root is not ignored.
- A worktree (whose `.git` is a file) counts as a repository. A submodule's own uncommitted files are not reported, only a changed submodule pointer.
`data` is `{ state, repos, reposTruncated, checkedAt }`:
Both routes accept two optional query parameters, which the UI sends from its per-device settings and the server clamps again: `maxRepos` (1 to 50, default 12) and `timeout` (seconds one git command may run, 5 to 120, default 30). An empty or non-numeric value means the default. A repository whose `git status` fails (typically a timeout on a slow network share) is **kept in `repos[]`** with `status.state: 'error'` and the reason in `status.error`, not dropped, so it is visible that something is not being reported.
`data` is `{ state, repos, reposTruncated, repoLimit, checkedAt }`:
- `state: 'ok'`: `repos[]`, each `{ name, path, status }` where `name` is the repository folder's name, `path` its root relative to the working directory, and `status` is:
`branch` (null when `detached`), `upstream`, `ahead`, `behind`, `hasRemote`, `counts` (`staged`, `unstaged`, `untracked`, `conflicted`, `uncommitted` = distinct paths, `stashes`), `files[]` (`path` relative to `repoRoot`, `origPath` for a rename, `index` and `worktree` status letters, `kind`: `staged` \| `unstaged` \| `untracked` \| `conflicted`; a file that is staged *and* modified again appears once per kind), `filesTruncated`, `unpushedCount` (exact) and `unpushed[]` (newest first: `hash`, `author`, `time` in epoch seconds, `subject`), `repoRoot`, `checkedAt`.
