Bug Description When spawning a background subagent with isolation: "worktree", the harness sometimes fails to actually create the worktree directory but still launches the agent with its cwd set to the non-existent path. The shell's cwd then silently falls through to the parent repo, so ls . returns the main worktree's contents and the agent unknowingly edits and commits in the main repo. Combined with no error surfaced to the parent agent and no worktreePath recorded in the agent's meta.json, this is undetectable from inside the subagent — it has no signal that anything is wrong.
