The startup pruner only considered directories named hermes-* (the
hermes -w scratch trees), so salvage/review/port lanes created with raw
'git worktree add' accumulated forever — a real checkout reached 117
directories / 26 GB with trees dating back months. Two further leaks:
squash-merged branches' local commits stay unreachable from
refs/remotes/* forever, so the unpushed-commits guard preserved fully
merged scratch trees indefinitely; and preserved trees rotted silently
with no visibility.
- Pruner now covers every directory under .worktrees/ except kanban
task trees (t_<hex>, owned by 'hermes kanban gc'). Named (non
hermes-*) trees get a 3x timeline (72h soft / 9d hard) since they
were created deliberately.
- New _worktree_commits_all_merged_upstream(): git-cherry
patch-equivalence check against origin/HEAD|main|master, bounded at
20 commits ahead, fails safe toward preserve. Lets the pruner reap
trees whose every local-only commit already landed upstream via
squash-merge/cherry-pick.
- Dirty guard now applies at every tier (previously the 24-72h tier
skipped it — it only survived because the unpushed check usually
caught the same trees).
- Trees preserved for unpushed/dirty reasons older than 7 days are
listed in a single WARNING so in-flight work can't rot silently.
- tips.py text updated; 13 new behavior-contract tests.
