Recognize a Bundled -ff as Worktree Remove's Own Double-Force - #1100
Conversation
Qodo's review of the develop -> main promotion PR (#1098) found that `worktree remove`'s force check only matched exact `-f`/`--force` tokens. Git requires `-f` given twice to remove a locked worktree, and confirmed live: `git worktree remove -ff <path>` forcibly removes a locked worktree's uncommitted content exactly as `-f -f` does, which the exact-token check missed entirely. `remove` has no other short option `-f` could combine with (confirmed against its own `-h` output), so the same bundled-character scan checkout/switch and clean already use is applied here too, with no risk of a false positive from an unrelated flag. New self-test case confirmed live before being added; every existing case still passes. `ruff`, `mypy`, and `prose_lint.py` are clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The new worktree remove force-flag scan should stop at -- to avoid misclassifying positional arguments (and a self-test should cover this sentinel behavior).

Pull request overview
This PR updates the primary-checkout mutation guard to recognize git worktree remove -ff <path> as a forced removal, matching Git's behavior where -f must be provided twice to remove a locked worktree.
Changes:
- Expand
worktree removeforce-flag detection to treat bundled short-option clusters containingf(including-ff) as forced. - Add a regression test case asserting
git worktree remove -ffis denied in a primary checkout. - Document the
-ffbehavior in the agent-safety README to explain why exact-token matching is insufficient.

--end-of-options sentinel so the newworktree removeforce detection does not regress by scanning positional arguments after--(for example,git worktree remove -- -fshould be allowed).

logic to scan only _args_before_double_dash(args[1:]), so arguments after “--”
are treated as operands rather than options. Preserve recognition of standalone

Copilot's review of this PR found the worktree-remove bundled-force scan I just added has the same gap `clean`'s force scan already had before its own -- fix: it scans every argument for an -f-shaped token with no regard for --. Confirmed live: `git worktree remove -- -f` reads -f as a worktree path argument (erroring since none is literally named that), not a force flag, so the unscoped scan would have denied a harmless (if broken) command as if it were forced. _args_before_double_dash, already used for clean, is applied here too. Also fixed, from the same review round: a mid-sentence semicolon and several spaced hyphens in the module docstring's requirement-6 paragraph (agent-authored prose forbids both; Python docstrings are outside prose_lint's own Markdown-only mechanical check but not outside the rule itself), and trimmed the tokenizer's own three-line rationale comment to two. New self-test case (git worktree remove -- -f) confirmed live before being added; every existing case still passes. `ruff`, `mypy`, and `prose_lint.py` are clean.

Qodo's review found the new comment above worktree remove's force scan over-explained itself relative to the one-line convention this file otherwise uses. Shortened to the essential constraint. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Answering the suppressed finding "Add a self-test case for the -- end-of-options sentinel" (no thread to resolve): already addressed in 5456828, alongside the -- cutoff fix itself. git worktree remove -- -f is now a permanent self-test case, confirmed live before being added. |

🟡 Changes recommended
The docs/selftest incorrectly claim worktree remove needs double force for locked worktrees, and the new -ff detection is overly broad (can misclassify unrelated -<...f...> tokens as force).

git worktree removedoes not require-ftwice to remove a locked worktree (double--forceis documented forgit worktree movewhen the destination is locked). The key behavior to document here is that-ffis parsed as-f -f, so an exact-token-fcheck misses it.
# `-f` is bundled the same way checkout/switch's own force flags already are: git requires `-f` given twice to remove a locked worktree, and `-ff` satisfies that, confirmed live.
