There was a problem hiding this comment.
The condensing checks out against the code — set_default_branch writes worktrunk.default-branch through a plain git config (repo-local, common git dir, so every linked worktree of the clone sees it), and warn_stale_default in src/commands/list/collect/mod.rs nulls the default branch when it doesn't resolve locally, so "the branch must exist locally for wt list comparisons" is accurate. Mirrors, skill copies, and the help snapshot are all consistent, and nothing links to the two removed anchors.
One cut goes a step further than shortening. Dropping "expected for a deliberate override, and inspection-only either way" leaves the page telling readers to set an override in one paragraph and, in the next section, that wt config state flags that value as drift — with no note that this is the expected outcome. handle_state_show_table fires that warning whenever remote_head != branch, unconditionally, and its hint reads To adopt it, run wt config state default-branch set <remote_head> — so someone who follows the new guidance gets a standing warning inviting them to undo it. The code comment there records the intent the prose just lost: "The key doubles as a user override, so this surfaces only on inspection, never per-command." Suggestion inline restores the clause; if that reads as too much for this PR, — expected for a deliberate override; alone removes the contradiction.
Applying it needs the mirrors and snapshot regenerated alongside src/cli/config.rs (cargo run -- hook pre-merge --yes covers both), so it isn't a one-click apply.

worktrunk 0.76.0 Created-by: HarmonybrewBot Commit-by: HarmonybrewBot Merged-by: HarmonybrewBot Description: Created by `brew bump` --- Created with `brew bump-formula-pr`.<details> <summary>release notes</summary> <pre>## Release Notes ### Improved - **`wt switch --execute` takes a program, not a shell string**: `-x` names one program, with everything after `--` passed as literal argv. Worktrunk spawns it as a child rather than running it in your interactive shell, so shell functions and its `cd` no longer reach you. `-x sh -- -c '…'` recovers shell syntax, not functions. (Breaking: existing `-x` strings, plus `WORKTRUNK_DIRECTIVE_EXEC_FILE` and `WORKTRUNK_SHELL`.) ([#3977](max-sixty/worktrunk#3977), closes [#2860](max-sixty/worktrunk#2860), fixes [#3944](max-sixty/worktrunk#3944), thanks @omgreenfield for testing the migration path) - **Worktrunk decides tracking for the branches it creates**: a new branch gets an upstream only when its name matches the remote branch it starts from, whatever `branch.autoSetupMerge` says: `--create release --base origin/release` tracks, `--create feature --base origin/release` does not. Under `autoSetupMerge = false` this previously exited 128 after creating the worktree. ([#3913](max-sixty/worktrunk#3913), [#3950](max-sixty/worktrunk#3950), fixes [#3937](max-sixty/worktrunk#3937), thanks @mjakl for reporting and diagnosing) - **Retired config keys are no longer read**: `commit.generation.template-file` and `squash-template-file` are gone — put the file's contents in `template` or `squash-template`. There is no migration: the key stays, warns as unknown on every load, and the prompt reverts to the built-in default. Setting both `template` and `template-file` used to fail the load; it now loads `template`. `switch.picker.timeout-ms` likewise warns rather than being stripped. (Breaking.) ([#3949](max-sixty/worktrunk#3949)) - **Project aliases and hooks can use `wt switch --execute`**: their bodies previously refused it. Worktrunk now starts the program itself instead of handing shell text to your shell, and the command-approval gate remains the control on project-defined commands. ([#3977](max-sixty/worktrunk#3977)) - **Established automation and LLM customization interfaces are now stable**: `wt step eval`, `wt step for-each`, `wt step prune`, LLM branch summaries, `wt config state vars`, and `commit.generation.template-append` are no longer marked experimental. ([#3949](max-sixty/worktrunk#3949)) - **`wt step prune` stages removals concurrently again**: only the `git worktree remove` teardowns serialize, so dirty checks, fsmonitor shutdown, and the trash rename overlap. The `prune_e2e/live` benchmark median went from 377 ms to 222 ms. ([#3954](max-sixty/worktrunk#3954)) - **`wt config approvals add` reads as a review rather than a warning**: it opens with a cyan `Review 1 command for repo:` instead of a yellow `▲ … needs approval to execute`. The execution-time gate is unchanged. ([#3953](max-sixty/worktrunk#3953)) ### Fixed - **The `wt switch` picker survives a preview longer than 65,535 lines**: skim keeps the pane's line count in a `u16`, so a larger diff aborted `wt` with exit 101 seconds after it painted — on screen the picker looked like it closed by itself. Panes now cap at 60,000 lines and say so. ([#3959](max-sixty/worktrunk#3959), fixes [#3958](max-sixty/worktrunk#3958), thanks @sandertammesoo for reporting and diagnosing) - **The nushell wrapper propagates exit codes without a POSIX shell**: it reported a failing `wt` by spawning `sh`, so on Windows every failing command printed a ``Command `sh` not found`` trace and exit 1 whatever the real code was. Nushell's wrapper is a static file, so rerun `wt config shell install` to pick this up. ([#3945](max-sixty/worktrunk#3945)) - **The picker no longer shows one detached worktree's diff for another**: previews were keyed by branch name, so every detached row shared the key `(detached)`. Rows now key by canonical identity, which also lets `wt remove feature ~/repo.feature` plan that worktree once instead of failing on the second. ([#3926](max-sixty/worktrunk#3926)) - **`wt switch pr:<n>` gives `pre-switch` hooks the real branch**: `branch` and `target` held the literal `pr:3933`, and `target_worktree_path` was unset even when that branch had a worktree. `pr_number` and `pr_url` are now set for same-repo PRs, not only forks. ([#3941](max-sixty/worktrunk#3941), fixes [#3934](max-sixty/worktrunk#3934), thanks @robsonpeixoto for reporting) - **`wt config shell install` no longer replaces an rc file created while it was checking**: the missing-file path refuses to clobber and fails with a rerun hint. A dangling rc symlink is preserved and rejected rather than overwritten. ([#3929](max-sixty/worktrunk#3929)) - **`wt switch --create X --base pr:<n>` works when the PR branch has no local branch**: the fetch writes only the remote-tracking ref, and git won't expand a bare name to one, so the command failed with `No branch, tag, or commit named …`. The base is now named under its remote. ([#3951](max-sixty/worktrunk#3951)) - **`wt switch --create` streams `git worktree add` instead of stalling**: where a sandbox denied the timed wait's pipe or `sigaction`, the command waited out git's entire run and then reported `Failed to wait for command` for work that had already succeeded. ([#3881](max-sixty/worktrunk#3881)) - **Claude Code activity markers stay on the session's launch worktree**: the plugin's marker hooks pass `-C "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR"`, so a `cd` mid-session no longer marks another repository. A session launched outside a repository gets no marker. ([#3956](max-sixty/worktrunk#3956)) ### Documentation - **`--execute` documents how to get a variable into a shell body**: each position is substituted verbatim, so a variable spliced into `sh -c` text is re-parsed by that shell and splits on spaces. The help now shows passing it as a separate argument and referencing it positionally. ([#3977](max-sixty/worktrunk#3977)) - **The clone-local default-branch override is documented**: `wt config state default-branch set` writes `worktrunk.default-branch` to the clone's local git config — machine-local, never committed, and shared by every linked worktree. `set` warns when the branch isn't checked out locally, and `wt list` skips its comparisons until it is. ([#3947](max-sixty/worktrunk#3947), [#3948](max-sixty/worktrunk#3948), fixes [#3946](max-sixty/worktrunk#3946), thanks @danielo515 for the request) - **The docs site renders code with the CLI's own colors**: terminal examples reproduce each snapshot's exact ANSI roles, while command references and the homepage command comparison get clap and shell syntax color from paired light/dark themes. File excerpts gain a path tab, and code wraps instead of scrolling on mobile. ([#3936](max-sixty/worktrunk#3936), [#3938](max-sixty/worktrunk#3938), [#3939](max-sixty/worktrunk#3939), [#3942](max-sixty/worktrunk#3942)) - **The `pre-start` upstream example uses `--base`**: it showed `wt switch --create feature origin/feature`, which `wt switch` rejects. ([#3955](max-sixty/worktrunk#3955)) ### Internal - **Library API rework** (Breaking library API): `cargo-semver-checks` fails ten lints — `RemoteRefProvider` and its provider structs give way to `ForgeKind` dispatch, the `--execute` rework retires the fish and PowerShell `ShellEscapeMode` escapes and `WORKTRUNK_SHELL_ENV_VAR`, `BranchRef` swaps `full_ref`/`worktree_path` for `id`, and accessors including `Branch::unset_upstream` and `ProjectConfig::ci_platform` are gone. ([#3913](max-sixty/worktrunk#3913), [#3926](max-sixty/worktrunk#3926), [#3949](max-sixty/worktrunk#3949), [#3963](max-sixty/worktrunk#3963), [#3977](max-sixty/worktrunk#3977)) - **Hook pipelines and `wt list` collection lost two indirection layers**: the background pipeline carries `PreparedStep` directly, and 15 marker task types collapse into one exhaustive dispatch. The synthesized-`--force` submodule path keeps its dirty re-check and destructive command under one lock, so prune's narrower locking doesn't widen that window.

Shortens the default-branch override guidance added in #3947 while keeping the clone-local scope, linked-worktree behavior, and local-branch requirement.
