To isolate feature work, you can create an isolated workspace using native isolation tools, falling back to git worktrees if native tooling is unavailable. This prevents accidental changes to your main project and enables repeatable builds.

A git worktree is a native git mechanism that creates an isolated workspace for your feature work. Use it as a fallback when native workspace isolation tools are unavailable to ensure a clean environment for repeatable builds.

Setting up a clean workspace involves detecting existing isolation to reuse it when possible, or creating a new isolated environment. The setup announces its status at the start to maintain harness compatibility and guardrails against nested worktrees.

Yes, the workspace isolation process detects existing isolation and reuses it when possible. This avoids creating nested worktrees or accidental modifications, ensuring your feature work starts cleanly without duplicating environments.

Git worktrees are used as a fallback only when native workspace isolation tools are unavailable. The setup includes guardrails against nested worktrees and accidental modifications, but native isolation tools are preferred for maintaining a safe environment.

Git worktree isolation ensures your feature work runs in an isolated environment, preventing accidental changes to your main project. It provides clear status reporting and guardrails to maintain a clean, repeatable build environment.
