v1.9.46

Release Notes: wip-ai-devops-toolbox v1.9.46

Centralized worktree management: guard rule, wip-release prune, Dev Guide convention.

What changed

Guard: worktree path warning (#212)

Branch guard now warns when git worktree add creates a worktree outside _worktrees/. Shows the convention and suggests ldm worktree add. Warning only, not a hard block.

wip-release: worktree prune (#212)

New step 12 in the release pipeline. After branch cleanup, prunes stale worktrees from _worktrees/ whose branches are merged into main. Automatic cleanup after every release.

Dev Guide: _worktrees/ convention (#212)

Documents the centralized worktree convention:

• All worktrees go in _worktrees/<repo-name>--<branch-suffix>/
• Use ldm worktree add (auto-detects repo, creates in the right place)
• Guard warns about worktrees outside the convention
• wip-release auto-prunes merged worktrees

Why

Worktrees created as repo siblings confused iCloud sync, looked like real repos in directory listings, and were never cleaned up. This session alone created 10+ stale worktrees. The convention keeps them organized and the release pipeline cleans them automatically.

Issues closed

• #212
• #213

How to verify

# Guard warning:
cd /path/to/repo
git worktree add ../my-worktree -b test   # should warn about _worktrees/

# Correct path:
ldm worktree add cc-mini/test             # creates _worktrees/<repo>--cc-mini--test/
