v0.50.0

## Release Notes

### Improved

- **Experimental Azure DevOps support**: `wt switch pr:<N>` resolves Azure DevOps pull requests via the `az` CLI — auto-detected from `dev.azure.com` / `ssh.dev.azure.com` / `*.visualstudio.com` remotes, or pinned with `[forge] platform = "azure-devops"`. `wt list --full` surfaces Azure DevOps PR and pipeline CI status, and `wt config show --full` reports `az` install/auth state when Azure DevOps is the detected platform. Requires the `azure-devops` CLI extension. GitHub still wins in mixed-remote setups. ([#1256](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/1256), thanks @mikeyroush; thanks @dlecan for [#1144](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/issues/1144))

- **Experimental Gitea support extended to `wt list` and `wt config show`**: `wt switch pr:<N>` already resolved Gitea PRs via the `tea` CLI; `wt list --full` and `wt config show --full` now recognize Gitea repos too — `wt list --full` shows a CI indicator (open-PR conflicts plus the PR head commit's combined status, falling back to the branch's latest status when no PR exists) linked to the PR, and `wt config show --full` reports `tea` install/auth state. ([#1320](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/1320), thanks @SjB; [#2702](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2702), [#2707](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2707), [#2732](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2732))

- **Hooks resolve project config from the worktree they act on — no primary-worktree fallback**: Previously `pre-remove` read the *primary* worktree's `.config/wt.toml` rather than the worktree being removed, and `post-remove` / `post-switch` read the post-removal working directory's config, so a `pre-remove` (or `post-remove`) you added on a feature branch never fired when removing that branch's worktree. Now every hook reads the `.config/wt.toml` of the worktree it acts on — `pre-remove` / `post-remove` read the removed worktree's config (snapshotted before removal), `post-switch` reads the destination worktree's — and the approval prompt collects hook commands from that same worktree, so a branch-local `pre-remove` always appears in the prompt before it runs. A worktree with no `.config/wt.toml` runs no project hooks; a present-but-malformed config aborts the operation with the parse error instead of silently using the primary's. (Breaking: removing a worktree no longer runs the primary worktree's `pre-remove` / `post-remove` hooks unless they're also defined in the removed worktree's `.config/wt.toml`. For an existing worktree that predates a hook added on the default branch, copy the hook into that worktree's `.config/wt.toml` to restore the previous behavior; new worktrees branched off the default branch pick it up as before.) ([#2690](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2690), [#2703](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2703), [#2714](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2714), [#2717](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2717), [#2701](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2701), [#2708](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2708), [#2727](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2727), [#2736](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2736), [#2748](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2748))

- **`wt config alias show` with no name lists every alias**: `wt config alias show <name>` shows one alias's full definition; with no name it now prints that same `○ Alias <name> (<source>):` block for every configured alias, in name order. `wt --help` (and `wt step --help`) drop the inline aliases table for a compact names-only list that points here. ([#2684](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2684), [#2691](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2691), [#2688](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2688))

- **`wt switch` picker validates hook templates before creating the worktree**: Creating a branch from the picker (Alt-C) now runs the same template pre-flight that `wt switch --create` does, so a project config with a broken hook template (syntax error, undefined variable) fails before `git worktree add` instead of after — no orphaned worktree left blocking a re-run with the same name. ([#2712](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2712))

- **`wt list --branches` skips a serial graph walk on warm runs**: Branch ahead/behind counts for the `main↕` and `Remote⇅` columns are now cached SHA-keyed, so a warm `wt list --branches` no longer pays the single-threaded `git for-each-ref --format='%(ahead-behind:…)'` walk that ran before the parallel task pool opened — on a large repo (rust-lang/rust) that walk was ~40% of `wt list`'s wall time. The push-remote URL is cached and the local-branch scan is shared with `capture_refs`, removing two more duplicate `for-each-ref` invocations per render. ([#2704](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2704), [#2718](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2718), [#2673](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2673))

- **Claude Code plugin ships the `wt-switch-create` skill**: Installing the worktrunk Claude Code plugin now provides `/wt-switch-create <branch> [task]`, which calls `EnterWorktree` to create (or re-enter — it's idempotent) a worktree in worktrunk's sibling layout (`<repo>.<branch>/`) and re-roots the current Claude session into it; anything after the branch name runs as the task there. ([#2737](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2737), thanks @onetom for [#2631](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/issues/2631))

- **Paths in warning messages are bold**: Config-file-not-found, the legacy-fish-config removal warning, completions-not-configured, and outdated-shell-extension warnings now bold the path they mention, matching the convention used elsewhere. ([#2677](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2677))

### Fixed

- **Ctrl-C against a concurrent alias reports exit code 130, not 143**: `wt step <concurrent-alias>` interrupted by Ctrl-C could exit with 143 (SIGTERM) instead of 130 (SIGINT) when, under load, wt's SIGINT→SIGTERM escalation timer (200ms) fired before the child finished dying from the SIGINT. wt now records the user's originating signal and reports that as its exit code. ([#2724](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2724))

- **Branch names starting with `-` no longer confuse git**: A branch literally named `-foo` (creatable via `git update-ref refs/heads/-foo HEAD`) could be misparsed as an option by the git subcommands wt invokes — most visibly the hook-approval gate `wt switch` runs before creating a worktree at such a ref, which reads `.config/wt.toml` via `git show <ref>:…`, and `wt step relocate`'s `git worktree add`. User-controllable refs now pass `--end-of-options` (and `--verify` for `rev-parse`) so git treats them as data. ([#2711](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2711), [#2725](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2725), [#2738](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2738))

- **`wt switch` picker's `alt-r` removal no longer runs unapproved project hooks**: The picker's removal path was a parallel reimplementation of `wt remove`'s teardown that ran `pre-remove` / `post-remove` / `post-switch` hooks unconditionally, bypassing the approval gate every other removal path goes through. The picker now routes through the shared `handle_remove_output` (with a `silent` flag for the in-skim case) and consults the existing approval state read-only — unapproved hooks are skipped, approved ones run. Removing the current worktree via `alt-r` also registers `post-switch` hooks against the home worktree now, matching `wt remove` / `wt merge` / `wt step prune`. ([#2746](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2746))

- **Nushell and PowerShell shell-extension label**: `wt config show` and the `--dry-run uninstall` preview labeled Nushell and PowerShell inconsistently; they now read `shell extension & completions` like Bash and Zsh — Fish is the only supported shell whose completions live in a separate file. ([#2699](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2699), [#2705](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2705))

- **Bash hook syntax highlighting no longer corrupts paths**: `format_bash_with_gutter` swapped Jinja `{{ }}` delimiters for internal placeholders that could collide with text in the command (e.g. a Windows tempdir path), splitting it mid-stream in `--help` and snapshot output. The placeholders are now chosen to be collision-free. ([#2722](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2722))

### Internal

- Foreground signal forwarding (Ctrl-C handling for hook pipelines, `wt step for-each`, concurrent alias groups) is unified into one module. ([#2734](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2734))
- `CiPlatform` moved to the library crate and is cached on `RepoCache`; the "override" framing around `[forge] platform` is dropped. The "invalid CI platform in config" warning is also deduplicated to once per `wt list` run instead of firing per branch. ([#2692](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2692), [#2686](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2686))
- The remove-hook approval helper is shared across `wt remove` / `wt merge` / `wt step prune`, and the `for-each-ref` scan primitive is shared with the remote-inventory cache populated from the snapshot path. ([#2709](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2709), [#2735](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2735))
- CI fails the build if tests leave files behind in the working tree; `LLVM_PROFILE_FILE` defaults to a temp-dir path when not inherited, keeping coverage runs from dropping `*.profraw` at the repo root. ([#2719](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2719), [#2730](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2730), [#2713](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2713))
- `codename_index` keeps its hash in `u64` before narrowing, so the `codename` filter picks the same word on 32-bit and 64-bit builds (no-op on 64-bit). ([#2667](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/pull/2667))
