Worktree Rescue 1.0.0

The first public release of Worktree Rescue — a local-first safety tool that
keeps independent, verified snapshots of uncommitted work across every Git
worktree your coding agents touch, and recovers it without touching your
repository.

Highlights

• Worktree inventory with evidence-based diagnosis. Missing, possibly
  moved, prunable, drive unavailable and inaccessible worktrees are told apart
  instead of all being reported as "deleted".
• Independent snapshots of staged content, working-tree bytes, untracked
  files, deletions and renames in a SHA-256 content-addressed vault with
  atomic manifests. A snapshot is only verified after its content is
  re-hashed and committed.
• Opt-in automatic protection with quiet-period debouncing, a minimum
  interval and checkpoints during long sessions.
• Recorder, timeline and diff viewer built entirely from recorded data.
• Safe recovery into a separate folder by default, with a six-phase
  report; gated in-place restore with protection snapshots; read-only Git
  history search with provenance labels.
• Risk Observatory with severity, confidence and raw evidence.
• Sandbox demo, retention and storage management, English and
  Simplified Chinese, dark and light themes.

Install

Download WorktreeRescue_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. It installs
for the current user without administrator rights. Requires Windows 10 21H2+
or Windows 11 (x64), WebView2 and Git 2.31+.

The installer is not code-signed yet; Windows SmartScreen may ask for
confirmation. Verify the download with the SHA-256 checksum listed in this
release.

Known limitations

• Submodule contents, Git LFS objects beyond the working-tree bytes, and
  files outside a sparse checkout are not captured (reported as partial
  support).
• In-place restore covers regular files only: deletions are not replayed and
  symbolic links are not recreated; the Git index is never modified.
• Sensitive files, when you opt in to capturing them, are stored unencrypted
  in the local vault (protected by your Windows account).
• Windows is the only packaged platform in 1.0; the core is portable and its
  tests run on Linux in CI.

Verification performed for this release

• 49 Rust tests against real temporary Git repositories, including
  repository-fingerprint tests proving inventory, snapshots, verification,
  forensic scans, previews, retention and recovery leave the working tree,
  index, HEAD, refs, reflogs and stash byte-identical.
• 15 UI tests (navigation, settings, empty, loading and error states, long-list
  virtualization, in-place restore confirmation, language switching,
  dictionary parity).
• The packaged installer was installed and exercised end to end on Windows 11
  against a simulated multi-agent session (snapshots, a deleted worktree, a
  moved worktree and a mass deletion).
