+# throwaway worktrees Claude Code creates for its subagents (`.claude/worktrees/agent-<id>`) with
+# the permanent ones and renumber them mid-session. Listing the temporary ones last keeps `wt 2`
+# pointing at the same checkout whether or not agents are running.
+#
+# `wtl` reorders git's own listing so it keeps the commit and branch columns, while `wt` reads
+# `--porcelain -z`, the only format that leaves a path containing spaces or newlines intact. Both
+# walk git's ordering and hold back the same entries, so the numbers you see and the directories
+# you land in stay in step.
