claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Agent worktree isolation fails on Windows due to case-insensitive path mismatch [1 comments, 2 participants]

1. Observe the error despite being in a valid git repo

TL;DR

To fix the issue with the Agent tool's isolation: "worktree" on Windows, consider modifying the path comparison to be case-insensitive or normalizing paths before comparison.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is indeed caused by a case mismatch between the shell working directory and git's reported top-level directory by checking the output of pwd and git rev-parse --show-toplevel.
• Check if setting workflow.use_worktrees to false and running agents sequentially is a viable workaround for your specific use case.
• Consider modifying the Agent tool's git repository detection to use case-insensitive path comparison on Windows.
• Test the workaround or fix in a controlled environment before applying it to production.

Example

No explicit code example is provided as the issue does not specify the programming language or implementation details of the Agent tool.

Notes

The provided workaround may have performance implications or limitations, such as reduced parallelism, and should be evaluated carefully.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by setting workflow.use_worktrees to false and running agents sequentially, as this is a relatively simple and safe change that can mitigate the issue until a more permanent fix is implemented.
