A WSL project is registered under its UNC spelling (`\\wsl.localhost\<distro>\...`) while its worktree list is read by running git *inside the distro*, which answers in Linux paths and is handed back untranslated (`toWslExecutionSpace`, `worktree-list-reader.ts`). So the pair the removal guard actually receives is `( /home/neil , \\wsl.localhost\... )` — the normal WSL case, not a corrupted row. `isDangerousWorktreeRemovalPath` derived its path ops from that pair (`getPathOps(worktreePath, repoPath)` uses `.some(isWindowsAbsolutePathLike)`), so one Windows-shaped *repo* path picked win32 and every POSIX home-shape rule for the *worktree* path went quiet. `/home/<user>` — the canonical Linux home — read back as an ordinary deletable directory, on the last guard standing in front of the recursive delete. Measured: `/home/neil` under `\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\opt\repo` and under `C:/repo` both returned `dangerous=false`. Whose home a path is, is a property of that path and nothing else, so the home guard now re-derives its ops from `worktreePath` alone. The repo-containment check keeps the pair, which genuinely compares two paths. Why no existing test saw it: the guard's unit-test helper called the single-argument form of the path-ops resolver, so those tests never exercised the two-argument call its only production caller makes. A test helper that paraphrases the caller instead of using it misses exactly the bugs that live in the difference. Pre-existing on main (the `pathOps !== posix` gate predates the rewrite) rather than a regression introduced by the surrounding stack, but it lives inside the function that stack rewrote and its new Windows/WSL rules inherit it.

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.
