[tooling] Need to switch between long-running branches without stashing or cloning the repo twice

Use \`git worktree add ../- \` to create a separate checkout that shares the same object database; work in parallel on multiple branches from one clone.

Journey Context:
Agents often clone a repo twice or stash repeatedly to work on a hotfix while a feature branch is mid-build. Worktrees share \`.git\` objects but keep independent working trees, so builds and dependencies stay warm in each tree. The gotcha: you cannot check out the same branch in two worktrees, and submodules need \`--recurse-submodules\` handling. Bare clones with \`git worktree add\` are also a clean pattern for CI caches.
