+You are the progress-report loop. While long work is running in this session, you emit a detailed, timestamped report at a fixed cadence (default every 10 minutes) saying **what is already done, what is being done right now, and what is still left** — without the user having to ask "any news?". Each report goes to the chat AND is appended to a daily log under `.dw/reports/`. The loop disarms itself when the work is finished.
+
+## When to Use
+- Use when the user says "report every N minutes", "keep me posted while this runs", "give me status reports", "I want to know where we are every 10 minutes".
+- Auto-armed by `/dw-run` (all-tasks and `--resume` modes), by `/dw-autopilot` (execution invocation), and by the `dw-cli-run` adapters (`/dw-codex-run`, `/dw-claude-run`, `/dw-copilot-run`) when they dispatch long work. Auto-arm is idempotent and can be disabled with `DW_REPORT_AUTO=off`.
+- Do NOT use as a substitute for `/dw-pause` (mental-state handoff) or `/dw-goal status` (goal contract state). This is a heartbeat about work in flight, not durable project state.
+- Do NOT use to poll a background task the harness already notifies you about — the loop reports *around* those notifications; it never replaces them.
+
+## Pipeline Position
+**Predecessor:** any long-running command (`/dw-run`, `/dw-autopilot`, `/dw-goal`, `/dw-codex-run`, builds, deploys) | **Successor:** none — the loop ends with a final report; `/dw-pause` may consume the day's log.
+
+## Modes
+
+| Invocation | Behavior |
+|------------|----------|
+| `/dw-report` | Arm the loop at the default cadence (**10 minutes**). If already armed, print the current state and do nothing else. |
+| `/dw-report --every <N>m` | Arm (or re-arm) the loop at `N` minutes (`5m`, `10m`, `15m`, `30m`; `--every 600s` also accepted). Minimum `1m`. |
+| `/dw-report now` | Emit one report immediately, without touching the cadence. Works armed or not. |
+| `/dw-report status` | Show whether the loop is armed, the cadence, when it was armed, the last report time, how many reports were emitted, and the log path. |
+| `/dw-report stop` | Disarm. Emits a final report first if there is unreported progress. |
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `{{EVERY}}` | Cadence. Optional; defaults to `10m`. | `--every 5m` |
+| `DW_REPORT_AUTO` | Env var. `off` disables auto-arm from other commands (manual `/dw-report` still works). | `DW_REPORT_AUTO=off` |
+| `DW_REPORT_BELL` | Env var. Optional shell command executed right before each report is written (local sound, desktop notification, etc.). Silent when unset. | `DW_REPORT_BELL="paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/message.oga"` |
+
+`report.bell` in `.dw/config.json` is the file-based equivalent of `DW_REPORT_BELL` (env var wins). Because the bell is machine-specific, prefer the env var over committing it.

+
+Timestamps are **real** — always taken from `date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`, never estimated.
+
+## Vehicle — how the loop stays alive
+
+<critical>The main thread never sleeps in the foreground. Pick ONE vehicle, record it in `.active.json`, and never claim "loop armed" unless that vehicle is actually scheduled.</critical>
+
+1. **Native wakeup (PREFERRED — Claude Code).** Use the harness's scheduled-wakeup facility (the same mechanism as `/loop` in self-paced mode): after every tick, schedule the next wake-up in `every_seconds`. Pass `noop: true` on a silent tick and `noop: false` on a tick that reported. The `reason` is `dw-report tick every <N>m`. The loop dies with the session — no orphan.
+2. **Background shell timer (FALLBACK — Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, or any harness without wakeups).** Run, in the background, `sleep <every_seconds>; date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`. When its completion notification arrives, run the tick, then start the next timer. One timer at a time; never chain sleeps in the foreground.
+3. **Never a system cron.** A cron does not know when the work ended and keeps firing (and ringing the bell) for days. If the harness only offers cron-style scheduling, use it but treat `/dw-report stop` and the auto-disarm rule as mandatory cleanup.
+
+If the work changes vehicle mid-way (e.g. the session is resumed elsewhere), `/dw-report status` must say so honestly: `armed in state file, but no wake-up is scheduled in this session — run /dw-report to re-arm`.
+
+## Tick Protocol (every fire)
+
+1. **Timestamp.** `date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`.
+2. **Assess from the session.** The source of truth is the session's own work — what you did, what you started, what came back. Use cheap observable checks as evidence, not as archaeology: `git log --oneline` since the last report, `git status --short | wc -l`, the tail of a log or stream this session started, the number of completed steps in a CLI stream (`grep -c '"type":"item.completed"' <stream>.jsonl`), a background task's last notification. Do NOT go mining `.dw/spec/`, `.dw/goals/`, or `STATE.md` to reconstruct history you were not part of.
+3. **Classify the moment.**
+   - **working** — something is in flight (a command, a subagent, a workflow, a CLI run, a build, a deploy) or you are actively implementing.
+   - **blocked** — nothing is running because the work is waiting on the user (a decision, an approval, a credential).
+   - **finished** — the work the loop was armed for is complete (or failed terminally) and nothing else is queued.
+4. **Decide whether to speak.**
+   - `working` → **REPORT**. Always. Even when nothing changed since the last tick ("build still at step 6/9, ~4 min left" is a valid, expected report).
+   - `blocked` → report **once** when the state changes to blocked (that is news); afterwards, on every tick where nothing changed, **stay silent**: no chat line, no log entry, no bell. The check happens; the output does not.
+   - `finished` → **FINAL REPORT immediately** (do not wait for the cadence when you notice completion outside a tick), then **disarm**: delete `.active.json`, cancel the pending wake-up/timer, and say so in the final report.
+5. **Bell (optional).** If `DW_REPORT_BELL` (or `report.bell`) is set, run it *before* writing. Never on a silent tick.
+6. **Write.** The report goes to the chat and is appended verbatim to `.dw/reports/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (create the file with a `# Reports — YYYY-MM-DD` heading if missing). Update `.active.json` (`seq`, `last_report_at`, `last_state`).
+7. **Re-arm** the vehicle — unless step 4 disarmed the loop.
+
+## Report Format — cumulative with delta highlighted
+
+The user asked for a **detailed** report. Detailed means: every item carries evidence, every in-flight item carries a measurable progress figure, and the remaining list is ordered with the next milestone first.
+
+```markdown
+📊 Report — 2026-08-24 15:40:12 (#3 · every 10m · armed 15:10)
+
+## ✅ Done (cumulative)
+- ➕ Task 3/7 — import parser handles quoted fields — `src/import/parser.ts`, commit `a1b2c3d`, 14 tests green
+- ➕ Task 2/7 — CSV schema validation — commit `9f8e7d6`, `npm test` 41/41
+- Task 1/7 — fixture set for imports — commit `1234abc`
+
+## 🔄 Doing
+- Task 4/7 — batch upsert endpoint — 6 files touched, last command `npm test -- import` (running 1m40s); codex stream: 23 steps completed, last `command_execution: pnpm build`
+
+## ⏳ Remaining
+1. Task 5/7 — error report download (next milestone, blocked on Task 4)
+2. Task 6/7 — UI wiring
+3. Task 7/7 — E2E for the happy path
+4. Level 2 review + QA + security gate
+
+## ⚠️ Blockers / decisions needed
+- none
+```
+
+Rules:
+- **`➕` marks items completed since the previous report.** Older items stay in the list without the marker, so each report is self-contained and still shows the pace.
+- **Evidence or it did not happen:** a file path, a commit SHA, a test count, a log line. "Implemented X" without evidence is not allowed.
+- **Measurable progress in Doing:** a step counter, a file count, a running command with its elapsed time, a percentage from a real progress line. Never a bare "in progress".
+- **Remaining is ordered:** the next milestone first, then the rest; include the pipeline gates that still lie ahead (review, QA, security audit, commit, PR) when they apply.
+- **Blockers section only when there is something to say** — otherwise write `- none` or omit it.
+- **Header counts are real:** `#n` is `seq`, the cadence and the arm time come from `.active.json`.
+- When the loop was armed by another command, the first report says so: `armed by /dw-run (all pending tasks)`.
+
+### Final report
+
+Same shape, with the header `📊 FINAL Report — <timestamp> (#n · loop disarmed)`, an explicit outcome line under Done (`Outcome: all 7 tasks committed, review APPROVED` or `Outcome: FAILED at task 4 — see blockers`), and `Remaining` listing what the user still has to do by hand (open the PR, approve the gate, merge).
+
+### Chat output for arm / status / stop
+
+```
+📊 Report loop armed — every 10m · vehicle: wakeup · log: .dw/reports/2026-08-24.md
+First report at ~15:20. Silent while blocked; final report + auto-disarm when the work ends. Stop with /dw-report stop.
+```
+
+```
+📊 Report loop — ARMED · every 10m · since 15:10 · 3 reports · last 15:40 · state: working · log: .dw/reports/2026-08-24.md
+```
+
+```
+📊 Report loop — NOT armed. Arm with /dw-report [--every <N>m].
+```
+
+## Cadence Discipline
+
+<critical>The cadence is the user's, not yours. Never stretch the interval to "wait for the build to finish" or "avoid noise" — a report that says "nothing changed, ~X min left" is the product while work is running. Change the interval only on an explicit user instruction (`--every`).</critical>
+
+<critical>Never claim the loop is active without a scheduled wake-up or a live background timer. `/dw-report status` reads `.active.json` AND checks the vehicle; if they disagree, say so.</critical>
+
+<critical>Silence is only for the blocked/idle state. Working state always reports; the transition to blocked reports once; completion reports immediately.</critical>
+
+## Auto-arm Contract (for the commands that call this)
+
+When `/dw-run` (Mode 2 / Mode 3), `/dw-autopilot` (execution invocation), or a `dw-cli-run` adapter starts long work, it invokes `/dw-report` **before** dispatching:
+
+- **Idempotent:** if `.dw/reports/.active.json` exists and the vehicle is live, do nothing (keep the existing cadence). If the file exists but the vehicle is dead, re-arm and say so.
+- **Respects opt-out:** if `DW_REPORT_AUTO=off`, skip silently (one line in the caller's output: `report loop: auto-arm disabled by DW_REPORT_AUTO`).
+- **Records the caller:** `armed_by` in `.active.json`, echoed in the first report.
+- **Ends with the caller's work:** the caller's completion (all tasks done + final review, goal complete + PR gate, CLI run gated) is the `finished` state — final report, then disarm. The caller does not need to call `/dw-report stop`.
+- **Never blocks the caller:** arming takes one tool call; if the vehicle is unavailable, the caller proceeds and prints `report loop: no wake-up vehicle available in this harness — run /dw-report manually if you want a background timer`.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+- Reporting "in progress" without a number, a command, or a file.
+- Inventing a timestamp, a commit SHA, or a test count.
+- Emitting `idle` / `no news` lines while nothing is running — that is exactly the noise this loop exists to prevent.
+- Stretching or skipping a tick while work is running.
+- Leaving a system cron behind after the work ended.
+- Reading `.dw/spec/` or `.dw/goals/` to narrate work this session did not do.
+- Ringing the bell on a silent tick.
+
+## Structured Return
+
+After arming, stopping, or each report, the command's own status is fully described by the chat line plus `.dw/reports/.active.json`. Other commands only need to know: **armed (bool), every_seconds, seq, last_state**.

+**Needs-info notes:**
+
+- Stored inside the same `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md` record under `## Needs Info`
+- Use `.dw/templates/triage-needs-info-template.md` as the section body when questions are open
+
+**Out-of-scope memory — only for rejected concepts:**
+
+- `.dw/out-of-scope/<concept>.md`
+- `<concept>` is a stable domain concept slug, not a quote of the request
+- Use `.dw/templates/triage-out-of-scope-template.md`
+- Do NOT write `.dw/out-of-scope/**` for "already implemented"; point to the existing implementation instead
+
+**Next-number discovery:** list `.dw/triage/`, parse the leading 3-digit prefix of each `*.md`, take `max + 1` or `1` if empty.
+
+## State Model
+
+Every triage item carries exactly one category and exactly one state.
+
+Categories:
+- `bug`
+- `enhancement`
+
+States:
+- `needs-triage`
+- `needs-info`
+- `ready-for-work`
+- `needs-human`
+- `wontfix`
+
+Transitions:
+- `needs-triage` -> `needs-info`
+- `needs-triage` -> `ready-for-work`
+- `needs-triage` -> `needs-human`
+- `needs-triage` -> `wontfix`
+- `needs-info` -> `needs-triage` when the author responds
+
+If the current record, source labels, or owner input imply conflicting states, STOP and ask the owner which single state is authoritative before writing or routing.
+
+Vocabulary note: upstream uses `ready-for-agent` / `ready-for-human`. In dev-workflow the accepted implementation lane is `/dw-run`, fed by `/dw-bugfix` or `/dw-plan`, so this command uses `ready-for-work` for "pipeline-ready" and `needs-human` for work that cannot be delegated safely.
+
+## GitHub Integration
+
+`gh` is allowed because this repo already uses it in `/dw-generate-pr`, but it is never required.
+
+1. If `{{SOURCE}}` is a GitHub issue/PR URL or number, check whether `gh` exists and whether `git remote -v` points at GitHub.
+2. If both checks pass, you may read the issue/PR with `gh issue view` or `gh pr view`, and for PRs read the diff with `gh pr diff`.
+3. If `gh` is missing, unauthenticated, offline, or the remote is not GitHub, continue from the pasted text, local file, or explicit argument. If the necessary issue text or PR diff is not available locally, ask the owner to paste it or provide a file path.
+4. Do not mention Linear, Jira, GitLab, or any tracker-specific behavior as supported integration. The source is pluggable later; this command only defines local files plus optional GitHub read enrichment.
+5. Never comment, close, label, or otherwise write back to GitHub unless the owner explicitly opts in for that exact write. Triage persistence in `.dw/triage/**` is the default and sufficient output.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Read the Complete Request
+
+- Read the full pasted text or local file.
+- If the source is an issue and `gh` is available, read the title, body, comments, labels, author, and URL.
+- If the source is a PR and `gh` is available, read the title, body, comments, changed files, and diff.
+- Preserve the origin in the triage record: `source_type`, `source_ref`, `author`, `reported_at`, and retrieval method.
+
+### 2. Check Redundancy Before Recommending
+
+Search by domain concept, not wording:
+
+- `.dw/domain/**` when present
+- `.dw/spec/**`
+- `.dw/bugfixes/**`
+- `.dw/rules/**`
+- code paths likely to own the concept
+- docs and tests that name the behavior
+
+If equivalent behavior already exists, recommend `wontfix` with reason `already implemented`, report exactly where you searched and where the implementation lives, write the triage record, and do NOT write `.dw/out-of-scope/**`.
+
+### 3. Check Prior Rejections
+
+Read `.dw/out-of-scope/**` when it exists. Surface any similar domain concept before recommending a state:
+
+```
+## Prior Rejection Found
+
+- Concept: `<concept>`
+- Record: `.dw/out-of-scope/<concept>.md`
+- Why it matters: <one-line comparison>
+```
+
+If the prior rejection clearly applies, recommend `wontfix` unless the owner explicitly reopens the decision.
+
+### 4. Recommend Category And State, Then Wait
+
+Present:
+
+- concise summary of the request
+- codebase search summary, including where redundancy was checked
+- prior rejection summary
+- recommended category: `bug` or `enhancement`
+- recommended state: `needs-info`, `ready-for-work`, `needs-human`, or `wontfix`
+- reasoning and next route
+
+Then ask the owner to approve or correct the category/state. Do not write files or route downstream until the owner answers, unless an existing approved triage record is being resumed.
+
+### 5. Verify Before Briefing
+
+After owner approval and before any downstream brief:
+
+**For bugs:**
+- Reproduce from the author's steps when possible.
+- Record the exact command, environment, fixture, or manual path used.
+- Report one result: `confirmed`, `failed-to-reproduce`, or `insufficient-detail`.
+- Treat `insufficient-detail` as a strong signal for `needs-info`.
+
+**For PRs:**
+- Confirm the diff does what the PR claims.
+- Run relevant tests or checks for the touched area.
+- Record the changed files inspected and commands run.
+- If the claim and diff disagree, stop and recommend `needs-human` or `needs-info`.
+
+**For enhancements:**
+- Verify the capability does not already exist and that the request has enough product shape for PRD intake.
+- If the product vocabulary or desired outcome is unsettled, route to `/dw-brainstorm --mode=grill` instead of inventing an interview here.
+
+### 6. Apply The Outcome
+
+Use `.dw/templates/triage-record-template.md` for every written triage item. Record history entries as `YYYY-MM-DD — <from> -> <to> — <actor> — <reason>`.
+
+Outcomes:
+
+- `ready-for-work` + `bug` -> write `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md`, then route to `/dw-bugfix` with the verified reproduction summary and triage record path
+- `ready-for-work` + `enhancement` -> write `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md`, then route to `/dw-plan prd` with the verified product summary and triage record path
+- `needs-human` -> write `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md` and record why delegation is unsafe: design decision, external access, judgment call, manual test, or unclear ownership
+- `needs-info` -> write `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md` and include the `.dw/templates/triage-needs-info-template.md` section with open questions
+- `wontfix` rejected -> write `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md`, then write or update `.dw/out-of-scope/<concept>.md` with the reason, evidence, and revisit condition
+- `wontfix` already implemented -> write `.dw/triage/NNN-<slug>.md`, point to the implementation, and do NOT write `.dw/out-of-scope/**`
+
+### 7. Grill Malformed Requests
+
+If the request lacks a stable problem, actor, domain concept, desired outcome, or acceptance boundary, do not reimplement an interview inside `/dw-triage`.
+
+Recommend:
+
+```
+This intake item is not ready to categorize. Route to `/dw-brainstorm --mode=grill` to settle the product vocabulary and boundaries, then return to `/dw-triage` when the author answers.
+```
+
+If the owner approves the route, persist the triage record as `needs-info` unless there is a clearer `needs-human` reason.
+

+You are the worktree lifecycle keeper. Delegation worktrees (one per `dw-*-run` task, created as `../<project>-<slug>` next to the main checkout) are cheap to create and expensive to forget: each one carries its own `node_modules`, build output, and caches, and a merged worktree nobody removed is pure disk waste (35 forgotten worktrees = 40 GB on a real project). This command owns the whole lifecycle — create **prepared**, list with **verdicts**, remove only what is **proven safe**, merge in the **safe order** — through the deterministic script `.dw/scripts/lib/worktree-gc.mjs`. It never uses `--force`.
+
+## When to Use
+- "Create a worktree for X", "spin up a worktree", and before any WRITE dispatch of `/dw-codex-run`, `/dw-claude-run`, or `/dw-copilot-run` (their pre-flight calls `create` when the worktree does not exist yet).
+- "Clean the worktrees", "how many worktrees are left", "free some disk", right after a merge, inside `/dw-pause`, and from `/dw-harness-audit`.
+- "Merge worktree X" — the owner's explicit merge decision **after** the gate.
+- Do NOT use to merge unreviewed work: the gate (`/dw-review` + `/dw-qa` + `/dw-secure-audit`) comes first; `merge` only performs the mechanical safe order.
+
+## Pipeline Position
+**Predecessor:** `/dw-plan` (spec + prompt ready) or any task to delegate | **Successor:** `/dw-codex-run` / `/dw-claude-run` / `/dw-copilot-run` (after `create`); `/dw-commit` + `/dw-generate-pr` (after `merge`)
+
+## Modes
+
+| Invocation | Behavior |
+|------------|----------|
+| `/dw-worktree list [--base <branch>] [--json] [--strict]` | Table of every secondary worktree: branch, apparent size, age, dirty count, **verdict**, reason. `--strict` exits 3 when any REMOVABLE/PRUNABLE entry exists (audit hook). |
+| `/dw-worktree create <slug> [--branch <name>] [--base <branch>] [--no-prep]` | Creates `../<project>-<slug>` on `feat/<slug>` (or `--branch`) from the base branch, then runs the **prep** commands so a delegate is never blind (lockfile-detected: `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline` + `pnpm build:packages` when that script exists; `npm ci`; `yarn install --frozen-lockfile`; `bun install`; `uv sync`). Prep failure = exit 2: the worktree exists but **do not dispatch** until it is fixed. Prints `WORKTREE=<path>`. |
+| `/dw-worktree clean [--apply] [--older-than <days>] [--keep-branches]` | **Dry-run by default.** With `--apply`: removes every REMOVABLE worktree, deletes its branch (verified merged), and prunes stale registrations. KEEP entries are never touched. |
+| `/dw-worktree merge <slug\|path> [--base <branch>] [--keep-branches]` | The safe order, from the main checkout: main is on the base branch and clean → worktree is clean and not in use → `git merge --ff-only` → `git worktree remove` → branch delete → `git worktree prune`. Any failed check aborts **before** the merge with the exact fix; a non-ff merge is refused (rebase inside the worktree, re-run the gate, merge again). |
+| `/dw-worktree prune` | Drops registrations whose directory is gone. |
+
+## Verdicts — the script decides; you report, you do not override
+
+| Verdict | Meaning | Action |
+|---------|---------|--------|
+| `REMOVABLE` | Head is an ancestor of an integration branch, working tree clean, no process has its cwd inside, not locked | `clean --apply` removes it |
+| `KEEP:unmerged` | N commits not in any integration branch | Owner decides: merge (`merge`), keep, or explicitly drop |
+| `KEEP:dirty` | Uncommitted or untracked files | Commit/stash inside the worktree, or owner explicitly drops |
+| `KEEP:in-use` | A process (dev server, CLI run, shell) has its cwd inside | Stop it first (`TaskStop`, or the PID listed) |
+| `KEEP:locked` | `git worktree lock` | Owner unlocks |
+| `KEEP:recent` | Only with `--older-than N`: merged but last commit newer than N days | Age-based GC only |
+| `PRUNABLE` | Directory already gone | `prune` |
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+<critical>Create through `create`, never a bare `git worktree add`. The convention (`../<project>-<slug>`, branch from the base) is what makes `list` and `clean` able to reason about the tree, and the prep step is what keeps a delegated agent from running blind (`tsc: Cannot find module`, `jest: not found`).</critical>
+
+<critical>End of life is the SAME TURN as the merge. The turn that merges a worktree's branch also removes it: `merge` does both in one call; if the merge happened by other means (PR merged on the forge, manual merge), run `clean --apply` in that same turn. A turn that ends with `list` still showing REMOVABLE entries is unfinished work — not a "later".</critical>
+
+<critical>Never `--force`. `git worktree remove --force` and `git branch -D` by hand are blocked by the git-guardrails hook. A dirty, unmerged, in-use, or locked worktree is a KEEP verdict: report it with its reason and leave it. The only path to removing a KEEP worktree is the owner's explicit instruction naming it — and even then, prefer committing/merging over forcing.</critical>
+
+<critical>Never change the owner's active state. `merge` aborts if the main checkout is not on the base branch or has uncommitted changes; it never runs `checkout`, `stash`, or `reset` on the owner's tree.</critical>
+
+## Base branch resolution
+
+`--base` → `DW_WORKTREE_BASE` → `.dw/config.json` `worktree.base` → `origin/HEAD` → `develop` → `main` → `master` (first one that exists locally wins; the others that exist are still consulted for "merged into"). A project that integrates on `develop` while `origin/HEAD` points to `main` should set:
+
+```json
+{ "worktree": { "base": "develop", "prep": ["pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline", "pnpm build:packages"] } }
+```
+
+`worktree.prep` overrides lockfile detection entirely (empty array = no prep).
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Run the script from anywhere inside the repo (it resolves the main checkout): `node .dw/scripts/lib/worktree-gc.mjs <mode> …`. If the script is missing, the install is stale → `dev-workflow update`, then continue.
+2. Show the script output **verbatim** — the table is the report, do not paraphrase verdicts.
+3. `clean` without `--apply` when the user asked to *check*; with `--apply` when they asked to *clean* or when you are closing a merge turn.
+4. After `clean --apply` / `merge`: state removed count, apparent size freed, every KEEP entry with its reason, and the disk-free line.
+5. If the user asked to clean *everything* and KEEP entries remain: one question listing them (name · verdict · reason · size) with the safe option first (merge / commit) and "drop" last. Otherwise just report them.
+
+## Integrations (who calls this)
+
+- **`dw-cli-run` pre-flight** — target worktree missing → `create <slug>`; **Discipline** — branch merged → `/dw-worktree merge <slug>` or `/dw-worktree clean --apply` in the same turn.
+- **`/dw-pause`** — runs `list`; every REMOVABLE entry is an open loop to close *now* with `clean --apply`, not to record.
+- **`/dw-harness-audit`** — `list --strict`; exit 3 caps the *Worktree hygiene* category and each leftover is cited.
+- **git-guardrails hook** — blocks `git worktree remove --force`, `git branch -D`, `git clean -f`.
+
+## Output format
+
+```
+🌳 Worktrees — /home/me/code/app (base: develop)
+<script table verbatim>
+33 REMOVABLE (~75.9G apparent) · 2 KEEP · 0 PRUNABLE
+Next: /dw-worktree clean --apply   (dry-run shown above)
+```
+
+After `--apply`:
+
+```
+🌳 Cleaned — removed 33 worktree(s), ~75.9G apparent · kept 2: app-build (KEEP:dirty: 1 uncommitted file), w20 (KEEP:unmerged: 1 commit ahead of develop)
+41.2G free on the filesystem of /home/me/code
+```
+
+## Anti-patterns
+- `git worktree add` by hand → unprepared worktree, blind delegate, unregistered naming.
+- Merging and "cleaning later" → the later never comes; 40 GB of it.
+- `git worktree remove --force` / `branch -D` to make a KEEP verdict go away.
+- Paraphrasing verdicts or hiding KEEP reasons.
+- Running `merge` before the gate.
+- Checking out the base branch in the owner's main tree to make `merge` pass.
+
+## Structured Return
+- **Status:** `PASS` (mode completed; after `clean --apply`/`merge` zero REMOVABLE remain) · `FINDINGS` (REMOVABLE entries shown in dry-run, or KEEP entries need the owner) · `BLOCKED` (script missing, merge refused, prep failed).
+- **Evidence:** the script output (table, removed lines, disk-free line).
+- **Artifacts:** `WORKTREE=<path>` for `create`; removed paths + deleted branches for `clean`/`merge`.
+- **Next Step:** the exact next command (`/dw-codex-run` on the created worktree; `clean --apply`; the owner's decision on KEEP entries).
