jakman85andClaude Opus 5 2cb891c05d docs(agents): one workspace per agent run — the shared checkout is off-limits
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m48s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
Agents have been working in the operator's checkout and clobbering each other.
Nothing in the tree told them not to: worktrees appeared in CLAUDE.md only as
§3's gate workarounds, and decisions/README.md described worktree isolation as
something agents already do rather than as a rule.

New CLAUDE.md §0 states the rule, with the commands and an explicit do-not list
for the shared checkout. Placed before §1 so every existing §-reference in the
repo keeps its meaning.

Measured in the shared checkout on 2026-10-05, each row a distinct failure mode:
107 `checkout: moving` reflog entries; sitting on feat/pm-agent-issue-to-pr, not
main; two other runs' untracked trees left in it; local main two commits behind
origin/main; 42 registered worktrees of which 31 are on already-merged branches;
9 gate scripts carrying a `.claude/` exclusion because an in-tree worktree made
find-based discovery count the same manifest up to 18 times.

Corrects a claim carried in earlier briefs: `git worktree remove` is NOT blocked
by the agent sandbox. Provoked on a throwaway worktree — rc 0.

§3 reframed as the normal path and grown from two breakages to three:
spec-immutability's skip is avoidable, not merely tolerated, with the spec repo
mounted read-only in the same ENGINE shim plus -e SPEC_REPO=/home-network-k3s.

CLAUDE.md is a sensitive path, so this PR needs a non-author review or an
administrator /approve-override posted as a PR review. Not posted by me: §1
forbids an agent clearing that on its own PR.

Measured 2026-10-05: that command **succeeds** under the agent sandbox (rc 0, on a throwaway

record was wrong, or at least no longer true. Try it; it probably works. If it is refused,

Measured 2026-10-05: on a worktree **you created yourself, in the session scratchpad**, that
command **succeeds** — rc 0, no prompt, with or without a branch checked out. The "worktree
removal is sandbox-blocked" note in circulation is about the `.claude/worktrees/agent-*` ones
belonging to *other* sessions, some of which are additionally `locked` on git's own terms. So:
remove yours, and only yours. If removal is refused, say so in your handoff and leave the
worktree registered — do **not** `rm -rf` the directory, which leaves a registered worktree
pointing at nothing and still holding the branch.
If someone *else's* stale worktree is holding the branch you need, do not try to reclaim the
branch name. Push a `rework/<pr-number>` branch to the PR's refspec instead.

**A claim of mine was wrong and is corrected in the doc.** I had it recorded that
`git worktree remove` is blocked by the agent sandbox. Provoked rather than assumed: created
a throwaway detached worktree in the scratchpad and removed it — **rc 0**, and
`git worktree list` no longer shows it. §0 therefore tells agents to try it, and the
`rework/<pr-number>` escape hatch is now scoped to *someone else's* stale worktree holding a
