Docs: require agent worktrees to be rooted on main#446
Merged
Conversation
The harness's `fresh` worktree base resolves to the clone's origin/HEAD, which points at `release` (the GitHub default) — so EnterWorktree can land on release rather than main. Document the verify-and-reset recovery step and the `git remote set-head origin main` fix that makes `fresh` root on main per clone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
Agent worktrees created via
EnterWorktreeuse afreshbase that resolves to this clone'sorigin/HEAD. In this repo that pointer isorigin/release(the GitHub default branch), so worktrees can land onreleaserather thanmain— contrary to the Branch Model rule that all work branches offmain.CLAUDE.md cannot change the base (it's decided by the harness before any instruction is read), so this documents the recovery step and the per-clone fix.
