Release Notes

Improved

• Hooks accept the same --KEY=VALUE smart routing as aliases: wt hook pre-merge --branch=foo --yes binds {{ branch }} when the template references it; unreferenced --KEY=VALUE tokens and everything after -- forward as {{ args }}, now available in hook templates. wt hook --help lists every hook type. --var KEY=VALUE still works but emits a deprecation warning pointing at the new form. (#2313)

• -v prints resolved template variables for every hook and alias: Before each ◎ Running … line, wt shows a template variables: block listing every variable in scope for that hook type or alias and the value it resolved to for this invocation. Vars in scope but unpopulated render as (unset) — which is how e.g. target_worktree_path surfaces during wt switch - on hooks that don't receive it. Alias args renders shell-escaped so the table matches what {{ args }} substitutes below. Works in foreground, background hook pipelines, and alias expansion. (#2316, #2324, #2328, thanks @nicolasff for reporting #2309)

• O(1) upstream lookup in alias/hook template context: Branch::upstream() triggered a for-each-ref scanning every local branch — amortized across bulk consumers like wt list, but wasted work for alias/hook template dispatch, which only needs the current branch. A new upstream_single() runs a scoped for-each-ref refs/heads/<branch>, so the parent-side alias dispatch is fully O(1) in branch count. Noticeable on machines with slow fork cost (macOS Gatekeeper, AV, slow FS). (#2337, thanks @markjaquith for reporting #2322)

Fixed

• Symbolic switch targets (-, @, ^) resolve before pre-switch hooks fire: wt switch - previously built the pre-switch hook context from the raw - argument, so {{ target }} and {{ target_worktree_path }} were wrong or unset. Symbolic targets are now resolved to the concrete branch name before the hook context is built, so hooks see the destination worktree correctly. (#2310, thanks @nicolasff for reporting #2309)

• Typo errors across wt, wt step, and wt config alias show/dry-run share one format: Four typo surfaces previously split across clap-native error: / tip: output (exit 2) and custom anyhow gutters (exit 1). All four now render the same clap-native layout — config alias show/dry-run say "alias" / "aliases" instead of "subcommand" / "subcommands" since the positional is an alias name. The wt <typo> and wt step <typo> paths also now run finish_command cleanup, so diagnostic dumps and ANSI resets still fire. (#2306, #2307, #2308)

Documentation

• Extending and hook guides consolidated: Recipes on extending.md and hook.md were trimmed, overlapping sections (pre-start vs post-start, copy-ignored variants, pipeline forms) folded together, template-engine scope clarified, and dev-server / database / target-specific hook recipes moved to Tips & Patterns. (#2314, #2315, #2317, #2318, #2319, #2321, #2323, #2326, #2329, #2333)

• Render fixes: Tables inside <details> blocks pick up the site's table styling (#2325); alternate pages excluded from the sitemap with trailing slashes on nav links (#2320); the [Aliases] help link renamed to [Extending Worktrunk guide] so it reads as a doc pointer rather than a self-reference in terminal help (#2330).

Internal

• Zola link regex handles code spans in link text: The skill-sync regex rejected [`…code…`](@/…) links, silently shipping dead @/…md references into skill reference files. The regex now balances code spans, and a post-transform guardrail panics on any leftover @/…md so future misses fail loudly. (#2327)
