Summary
Every Code managed worktrees are accumulating under ~/.code/working. A local audit after pruning broken/stale entries still found 39 valid managed branch checkouts across repos, including 24 for launchplane, 4 for code, and several auto-review worktrees.
This is separate from the broken-worktree hardening in #273. Even when all worktrees are valid, the retention behavior is too loose for ephemeral review/task worktrees.

Breakdown:
24 normal repos/checkouts under ~/Developer

1 verireel auto-review

~/.code/working/sellyouroutboard/branches/auto-review-fc5aada8 470M
Expected behavior
Ephemeral review/task worktrees should have a clear lifecycle and should not accumulate indefinitely after Every Code exits or after a run finishes.
Acceptance criteria:
- define which managed worktrees are ephemeral versus user-owned/preserved
- clean ephemeral clean worktrees when their owning run/session closes successfully
- keep dirty worktrees, active worktrees, and explicitly preserved branches
- prune stale Git worktree registry entries for repos touched by the cleanup
- add a dry-run cleanup surface that lists candidate removals with repo, branch/path, age, dirty state, and size
- add a rollout/session health check that records or warns when managed worktree counts or disk usage exceed a threshold
- include coverage for session-close cleanup, interrupted/failed run retention, dirty worktree preservation, and stale registry pruning
