A directory-only ignore rule (`node_modules/`) matches the primary checkout's real directory but never the worktree's symlink, so Git reports the shared link as untracked for the life of the worktree. That made every affected worktree read as dirty: a phantom row in the diff view, and Create PR blocked with `blockedReason: 'dirty'` telling the user to commit an entry they cannot commit, because it is a symlink Orca created. Status and the review-creation preflight now drop untracked entries that are both declared shared (per-user shared paths or orca.yaml sharedDirectories) and actually symlinks on disk. Both conditions are required, so a regular file at a declared name, or a symlink nobody declared, still counts as user work. The decision fails closed: anything not positively identified stays dirty. The preflight moves to `--porcelain -z` so paths with spaces or non-ASCII bytes are compared raw rather than C-quoted, with a parser that consumes the origin field a rename emits instead of reading it as its own record. Symlink detection moves to a leaf module: importing it from ipc/worktree-symlinks would pull APFS cloning, and its child_process dependency, into the status graph. SSH is unaffected and left alone — remote worktree creation skips the symlink and shared-directory passes, so a remote worktree never has one.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
