* Garbage-collect stale worktreeMeta for externally-deleted worktrees at load worktreeMeta rows are minted for every worktree Orca ever discovers but were only deleted by Orca-initiated removal flows. Worktrees deleted outside Orca (git worktree remove, rm -rf, agent scripts) purge renderer session state without ever removing the meta, so the map grew monotonically - 318 of 503 entries (63%, ~110KB) on the reference machine pointed at long-deleted paths. These entries never reach the renderer; they only cost disk bytes, parse time, and memory. GC at load is deliberately narrow: local-host entries only (SSH/runtime repos, remote meta.hostId, and WSL UNC paths are skipped - a local existsSync would falsely condemn remote paths), only when the checkout path no longer exists, only after a 30-day idle grace (preserving pushTarget cleanup for recently-vanished worktrees and quick recreations), and never when the entry lacks timestamps to prove idleness. Lineage rows cascade like removeWorktreeMeta. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * Fix GC false positives: folder-workspace instances, WSL paths on Windows From adversarial review of the GC commit: - Folder-project workspace instances are keyed repoId::path::workspace: <uuid>; splitting on the first :: made the existence probe test a path-with-suffix that never exists, deleting idle folder workspaces - whose meta IS the workspace record - and cascading into terminal- history deletion. Instance keys are now skipped entirely. - On Windows, WSL linked worktrees carry Linux-style paths from git porcelain that a Windows existsSync cannot probe; skip non-Windows paths on win32. - Idle-grace check now runs before existsSync (skips the stat fan-out for active entries and shrinks the slow-NFS startup tail), and a null worktreeMeta map in the file is normalized instead of throwing outside the parse guard.

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.
