Sessions place throwaway checkouts under .claude/worktrees/, and nothing ignored them, so `git add -A` from the repository root picks one up as an embedded git repository and commits a gitlink to it. Scoped to that directory rather than .claude/, because .claude/commands/cla-add-signer.md is tracked on purpose. Signed-off-by: Cosmin Staicu <cosmin.staicu@uipath.com>

Why
Agent sessions place throwaway checkouts under
.claude/worktrees/. Nothing ignored them, so agit add -Afrom the repository root picks one up as an embedded git repository and commits a gitlink — a160000entry pointing at a path that exists on one machine and nowhere else. It happened on #196 and had to be backed out.What
One entry:
Scoped to that directory rather than
.claude/, because.claude/commands/cla-add-signer.mdis tracked on purpose — it is the maintainer command added in #52 for recording contributors insignatures/cla.json. Ignoring the parent would shadow it..claude/settings.local.jsonneeds nothing here; it is already covered by a global ignore.Verification
git statusno longer reports?? .claude/worktrees/with a worktree present, andgit check-ignore -v .claude/worktrees/resolves to this rule. Nothing else changes.Contributor declaration
git commit -s).
