Repository and worktree operations

Resolve bindings, choose a starting point, and preserve existing work.

Inspect before preparing

context-circuit-cli repo inspect --id api
context-circuit-cli worktree list --repo api
context-circuit-cli record order --intent i001 --mode waves
context-circuit-cli worktree prepare --repo api --plan p0001 --copy-mode auto

Use actual returned IDs. A dependent plan in the same repository requires an explicit --start; the refusal identifies the predecessor. An explicit start is honored. No implicit fetch occurs.

Understand reuse

--reuse selects an existing branch or association without resetting it. --copy-mode accepts auto, required, copy, or off. Ignored dependencies are skipped when tracked setup inputs differ; existing destination files are preserved.

Recover or clean up on request

Git's worktree inventory is authoritative. worktree inspect reports the real location; move and repair support recovery. Removal preserves dirty, untracked, and ignored files unless disposal is explicitly authorized with --discard. It never deletes the branch.

Read the pinned worktree source below for filesystem-specific reuse behavior.
