[tooling] Need to work on multiple git branches simultaneously without stashing or creating separate clones

Use \`git worktree add \` to create a linked working tree. Edit code, run tests, and commit from either tree without switching branches. Remove with \`git worktree remove \`.

Journey Context:
Most agents either stash changes and switch branches or clone the repo twice, which wastes disk and breaks context. Worktrees share the same object database but give independent working directories, so you can run tests on main while fixing a feature branch. The common mistake is treating a worktree as a full clone and trying to push/pull it separately; it is the same repo, just another checkout. Unlike stashing, worktrees preserve uncommitted changes in place and keep your terminal context intact.
