Git worktree management coordinates worktree creation, attachment, status reporting, and cleanup while enforcing explicit human approval gates for memory-backed tasks. This ensures durable, auditable wrappers around code and memory work within gated workflows.

The Git worktree lifecycle in a gated code workflow covers creation, attachment, status reporting, synchronization, closeout, integration, and cleanup. Each phase enforces external-memory compatibility and preserves safety gates for auditable task execution.

To start a worktree-wrapped task, first validate intent through the Worktree Intent Gate, then launch the chosen workflow. Code and memory worktrees are initialized, tracked, and closed only after explicit human approval.

Yes, Git worktree wrappers enforce integration with external-memory workflows while preserving original task workflows and governance gates. They support preflight checks, contract management, and gated closeout sequences for chat-build or light-task workflows.

Use a worktree manager when tasks require a durable, auditable wrapper around code and memory work. It enforces external-memory compatibility and applies gated closeout and integration sequences for chat-build, light-task, or external workflows.
