Report #69239

[tooling] Switching Git branches requires stashing WIP or waiting for long rebuilds

Use \`git worktree add -b feature-x ../feature-x origin/main\` to create a linked working directory for the new branch, allowing parallel work without context switching or rebuilds

Journey Context:
Developers often pollute history with 'WIP' commits or waste time on clean builds when switching contexts. Worktrees provide isolated environments sharing the same Git object database, eliminating rebuild penalties and stash management for multi-branch workflows.
