## Release Notes

### Fixed

- **`wt remove --force` works with dirty worktrees**: The `--force` flag was documented to allow removal with uncommitted changes, but worktrunk's own cleanliness check blocked it before git could apply the flag. Fixes [#658](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/issues/658). (thanks @pedro93)
- **Correct output when switching to existing local branch**: When switching to a local branch that tracks a remote, worktrunk incorrectly reported "Created branch X" instead of "Created worktree for X". Now only reports branch creation when git's DWIM actually creates a new tracking branch from a remote. Fixes [#656](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/issues/656). (thanks @guidupuy-ws)
- **PowerShell handles multiple `wt.exe` binaries**: On Windows, when both Windows Terminal's `wt.exe` and worktrunk's `wt.exe` exist in PATH, shell integration errored with "Cannot convert 'System.Object[]' to the type 'System.String'". Now correctly uses the first match. Relates to [#648](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/issues/648). (thanks @Farley-Chen)
