SCM Import project status remains DELETE_NEEDED while all tracked items are CLEAN

[tubaaktas]

Rundeck version: 6.0.1-20260715
Git plugin: rundeck-git-plugin-6.0.1-20260715.jar

SCM Import configuration:

• branch: main
• fetchAutomatically: true
• pullAutomatically: true
• filePattern: rundeck/project/.*.yaml
• importUuidBehavior: preserve

Problem:
The project-level SCM Import status remains:

synchState: DELETE_NEEDED

The API message is inconsistent:

• sometimes: "191 tracked file(s) were deleted"
• sometimes: empty

However, the actual state is:

• importItems total: 191
• tracked: 191
• deleted: 0
• CLEAN: 191
• individual job SCM status: CLEAN
• Git working tree is clean
• 191 YAML files are tracked
• 0 files are deleted
• HEAD == origin/main

Expected:
Project-level SCM status should be CLEAN when no tracked files are deleted and all import items are CLEAN.

Actual:
Project-level SCM status remains DELETE_NEEDED even though no tracked files are deleted.

Recreating the SCM configuration can temporarily return CLEAN, but DELETE_NEEDED comes back again later.
