Non-negotiable rules:

1. Start by listing existing worktrees and identifying the current worktree context.
2. Keep merge operations isolated from the main working tree whenever a worktree is being used.
3. Use git worktree remove, not rm -rf, for normal cleanup.
4. Never delete non-ephemeral branches automatically.
5. Get explicit user confirmation before force-removing dirty worktrees or performing ambiguous branch cleanup.
