[tooling] Need to work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or cloning the repo multiple times

Use \`git worktree add -b \` to create a linked working tree for a new branch. Remove with \`git worktree remove \`. For CI, use a bare repo with \`git worktree add\` for each job to save disk space.

Journey Context:
Agents often run \`git stash && git checkout\` \(losing uncommitted changes context\) or clone the repository multiple times \(wasting disk and network\). Worktrees allow multiple checkouts from a single \`.git\` directory. The \`-b\` flag creates the branch atomically with the worktree. Crucially, \`git worktree remove\` cleans up the administrative files; merely deleting the directory leaves stale entries. In CI, using a bare clone with \`git worktree add\` for each parallel job is the canonical pattern for monorepos to avoid redundant object storage.
