Release Notes

Improved

• sanitize_db template filter caps output at 48 chars (was 63 — PostgreSQL's identifier limit). The new budget leaves headroom for users composing the output into longer paths or identifiers, e.g., Unix socket paths capped at 107 bytes. The 3-character hash suffix is unchanged, so collision avoidance is preserved at the new budget; only the truncated base shrinks. (Breaking: branches whose previous sanitize_db output exceeded 48 chars get a different identifier — most names are well under 48 and pass through unchanged.) (#2467, thanks @yajo for #2397)

• New hash template filter: {{ value | hash }} produces a 3-character base36 digest of the input — useful for composing custom truncate-with-collision-avoidance recipes when sanitize_db's 48-char budget still isn't tight enough. (#2453)

• Background hook announces collapse to one line per command: wt merge (with removal) previously emitted two or three separate ◎ Running … lines for post-remove + post-switch and post-merge. Hooks across all phases of a single command now share one combined announce: ◎ Running post-remove: user:cleanup; post-switch: user:notify; post-merge: user:sync. (#2457)

• Picker-driven post-switch hooks now receive target / target_worktree_path template variables, matching hooks fired from wt switch <branch>. Closes a pre-existing asymmetry where interactive switching exposed strictly fewer variables than the non-interactive path. (#2470)

Fixed

• wt <alias> stdout is pipeable again: wt my-alias | tr … (and any other downstream pipe) silently produced no output because the foreground executor redirected every alias body's stdout to wt's stderr — a hook-only redirect that PR #2089 inherited uniformly. Aliases now pass stdout through; hooks and wt step for-each keep the merged-stderr behavior so their output stays ordered with wt's own status messages. (#2479, thanks @davidmyersdev for reporting #2478)

• wt switch <symlink> resolves to the existing worktree instead of failing with No branch named …. The path-based fallback in Repository::worktree_at_path previously compared paths via lexical normalization only, so symlink-equivalent spellings never matched. The same symlink-aware comparison is now used everywhere the library identifies a worktree by path. (#2466)

• Deleted-CWD recovery handles symlinked subdirectories: When a worktree is removed while a shell sits in a subdirectory whose parents include a symlink (e.g. ~/link/repo.feature/src), wt now finds the parent repository and recovers as expected. Previously the symlink-aware path compared only file names and bailed for any path deeper than the worktree root. (#2464)

• Merge safety backups for slash branches: WorkingTree::create_safety_backup() flattened / to - in the ref path, so distinct branches like a/b and a-b collided at the same refs/wt-backup/a-b ref — the latest backup for one could clobber the other, and the documented refs/wt-backup/<branch> recovery path didn't match what was actually written. Slashes are valid in git ref names; the branch name is now used as-is. (#2463)

• Nushell wrapper migrates to function-level @complete: Per fdncred's recommendation in nushell/nushell#18128, the wrapper replaces the parameter-level [...args: string@"nu-complete wt"] with a function-level @complete attribute on an untyped [...args] rest, and the completer signature moves from [context: string] (with manual split row " " reconstruction) to [spans: list<string>]. Net deletion of seven lines of fragile token reassembly; once nushell/nushell#18131 ships in stable nu the wrapper will automatically benefit from --flag="value" quote stripping and ~ expansion. (#2458)

Internal

• Hook dispatch unified: A single HookAnnouncer orchestrates per-command announces across phases, replacing scattered CommandOrigin-keyed dispatch with closures, and the various background-hook entry points now share one path. Switch and merge sites assemble template variables through a single TemplateVars builder. (#2457, #2470, #2472, #2477)

• wt list rendering modes collapse: The internal RenderTarget enum replaces three parallel rendering paths, the JSON path skips the per-result render that the formatter never used, and dead is_tty plumbing is removed. (#2469, #2473)

• Push handling switches to a PushKind enum instead of sniffing verb strings (#2468); try_alias and step_alias share one help-intercept implementation (#2471); lazy template expansion in the command executor lives in one place via resolve_command_str (#2476).
