0.61.0

Release Notes

Improved

• wt list custom columns: Each [list.custom-columns.<Header>] entry in user config adds a column to wt list (and the wt switch picker), rendered per row as a minijinja template over branch, worktree_path, worktree_name, and vars.*, with optional width and drop priority. Values expand from in-memory data only — no subprocess runs per cell — and a column that is empty on every row is dropped. wt list --format=json gains a columns map per item. The feature is experimental, so the config shape may still change. (#3073)

• --config-set for inline config overrides: A global, repeatable --config-set <toml> flag overrides any user-config key for a single invocation, layered above config files and WORKTRUNK_* env vars. The value is a real TOML fragment, so arrays and tables work natively (wt --config-set list.full=true list); nested tables deep-merge, and a malformed or invalid override drops the whole --config-set layer with an attributed warning rather than failing the command. (#3138)

• Picker shows cached PR/MR numbers: The wt switch picker skips the networked CI-status fetch, so it previously had no CI column. It now fills PR/MR numbers from the local .git/wt/cache/ci-status/ cache populated by earlier wt list --full or statusline runs, with zero network access. A stale entry (TTL passed or branch head moved) keeps its number dimmed; expired entries without a number are dropped. (#3073)

• Faster file copies on macOS: After a reflink (clonefile on APFS, which already preserves mode bits), worktrunk now skips the redundant follow-up chmod on macOS, saving one syscall per file in wt step copy-ignored and every other copy path. Linux (btrfs/XFS) still sets permissions, since FICLONE clones data extents only and drops the execute bit. (#3149)

Internal

• Picker migrated to skim 4.8 (ratatui/crossterm): The wt switch picker moved off skim 0.20.5 (tuikit) to skim 4.8.0, dropping the vendored vendor/skim-tuikit/ patch tree (both patches it carried are now native or upstream). Two cosmetic picker changes come with it: the match counter no longer overlaps the preview-tab header, and the HEAD column shows the full short-SHA. (#3137)

• All command spawns route through one trace chokepoint: CommandTrace is now the sole emitter of [wt-trace] command records, so a spawn path can't silently skip tracing — git worktree add, previously an unattributed gap, now shows up as a labeled slice in wt-perf timeline. (#3134)

Documentation

• Hook-approval skill guidance: The bundled worktrunk skill now frames hook approvals as user consent and no longer advocates --yes to bypass prompts. (#3146)
