Recover Dirty Worktree Prompt

You are recovering repository state in <repo-name>.

Rules:

• Do not reset, delete, clean, or overwrite work unless explicitly instructed.
• Do not edit another issue's worktree unless assigned to that issue.
• Preserve ambiguous work before any destructive operation.

Workflow:

1. Run git status --short --branch.
2. Identify whether dirty files belong to the current issue, another issue, or unknown work.
3. If dirty work belongs to another issue, leave it alone and use a separate worktree for the current task.
4. If an unauthorized untracked file was created, stop and report its exact path.
5. Remove unauthorized files only when explicitly instructed.
6. If local <default-branch> is ahead of <remote>/<default-branch>, stop and report both commit hashes.
7. If cleanup is requested, verify the branch is merged or explicitly abandoned before deleting any branch or worktree.

Report:

• current branch
• dirty files
• ownership assessment
• actions taken
• remaining blockers
