`readLocalWorktreeGitDir` resolved a linked worktree's `.git` gitfile
pointer by hand, translating a POSIX-rooted pointer only when the
worktree path was itself `\\wsl.localhost\...`. On a Windows host
`path.isAbsolute('/mnt/c/repo/.git/worktrees/wt')` is true, so a
drive-path worktree (`C:\Users\me\wt`) whose gitfile was written by git
running inside WSL kept the guest spelling and was joined to
`\mnt\c\repo\.git\worktrees\wt\HEAD`. All four probes (HEAD,
COMMIT_EDITMSG, ORIG_HEAD, tail of logs/HEAD) missed, so the row's
lastActivityAt fell back to the worktree directory mtime and a worktree
with recent commits could read as stale in the cleanup browser.
Delegate to `resolveGitMetadataPath` (src/shared/git-metadata-path.ts,
landed in 7f63db7d7a, already used by repo-git-marker-scan.ts). Five
lines out, one in; the shared resolver is not modified.
Delta, enumerated over 10 base x 18 pointer x 3 platform combinations
(540 pairs) against a reimplementation of the removed branch: 28 differ,
every one win32 + non-UNC base + `/mnt/<lowercase-letter>` pointer.
- WSL-on-Windows: a drive-path worktree with a WSL-written pointer now
probes its real git metadata.
- WSL UNC worktrees, native Windows, macOS, Linux: no change (0 deltas
on darwin/linux, 0 for any `\\wsl.localhost\...` base).
- SSH / relay / folder workspaces: no change; remote repos return the
persisted timestamp before any probe, and a folder workspace has no
gitfile pointer.
Not strictly monotone: the old probe target `\mnt\c\...` is a real
drive-relative location, so if it existed with a newer mtime than the
genuine gitdir this lowers lastActivityAt for that row. The persisted
timestamp stays a floor via Math.max, and in every realistic case the
change only raises the value.
No signature changes, no options threading, no new call sites.
