Context

Use for changes to worktree creation, path rewriting, merge-local, PR creation, cleanup, or agent session repo paths.

Patterns

• Neo owns runtime/worktree mechanics; Cypher reviews path safety; Switch verifies behavior.
• Preserve the per-repo mutex for operations that checkout/merge branches.
• Auto-abort merge conflicts and surface explicit errors.
• Clean up worktrees only after successful merge or PR flow.

Examples

• A merge-local change needs conflict behavior evidence and branch-safety review.
• A path rewrite hook change needs proof tools cannot escape the intended worktree.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not change branches inside an active worktree unexpectedly.
• Do not normalize paths with string replacement alone when filesystem resolution is required.
