Manage Linked Worktrees

Objective

Establish the requested linked-worktree topology while protecting every registered worktree, checked-out branch, and uncommitted file.

Use When

• Create a second checkout for another branch or detached commit.
• Explain why a branch is already checked out elsewhere.
• Move, lock, unlock, repair, or remove one exact linked worktree.
• Prune stale registrations only after enumerating the complete candidate set.

Do Not Use / Route Elsewhere

• Use manage-branches for local branch lifecycle within one checkout.
• Use preserve-work if the goal is merely to save current changes.
• Use diagnose-repository for generic repository discovery.
• Do not use broad prune as a cleanup shortcut.
