Release Notes

Improved

• wt switch accepts forge PR/MR URLs: wt switch https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 now resolves the same way as wt switch pr:123, and the URL form works anywhere a pr:N / mr:N shortcut does (positional argument and --base). Detection is shape-based, not host-based — any http(s):// URL whose path contains /pull/N, /pulls/N, /-/merge_requests/N, or /pullrequest/N matches, covering GitHub (including Enterprise), GitLab, Gitea, and Azure DevOps, including self-hosted instances. (#2898, thanks @thiagowfx for the request)

• -vv startup pointer names diagnostic.md: The -vv pointer now lists the shared log directory once with all three files it will contain — trace.log, subprocess.log, and diagnostic.md — so the diagnostic bundle is discoverable at startup rather than only when the gist hint fires at exit. The pointer verb reads Writing to … instead of Tracing to …. (#2919)

Fixed

• Claude Code plugin keeps unmerged branches during worktree cleanup: The plugin's WorktreeRemove hook passed -D (--force-delete) to wt remove, which removes a branch even when it carries commits that aren't merged or pushed. The hook now uses the default removal: a merged or integrated branch is removed cleanly, while one with unmerged commits is kept, with a wt remove -D <branch> hint for deleting it deliberately. (#2940, thanks @jbeda for reporting)

• wt list and wt step prune degrade gracefully on unborn worktrees: A linked worktree created with git worktree add --orphan sits on an unborn branch whose HEAD is the null OID. wt list used to show working-tree-diff (fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD') and a merge-tree error in its columns, and wt step prune aborted its entire scan with fatal: Needed a single revision, blocking pruning of every other worktree. Both now treat an unborn worktree as having no commits: wt list renders · for the commit-dependent columns, and wt step prune skips it (as it does locked worktrees) and continues. (#2937, thanks @nedtwigg for reporting)

Documentation

• Doc-site and --help prose cleanup: A writing-prose pass across the FAQ, config, list, remove, Claude Code, hook, LLM-commits, and Tips & Patterns pages (some via --help text in after_long_help). (#2922, #2925)

Internal

• Collapsed duplicated code paths and removed dead code left by completed cut-overs: A net reduction across the shell, git, and command layers. (#2931, #2932, #2934)
