What
When a session creates its result branch, it now tries git switch -q -C first and falls back to checkout -B only if that fails, logging a retry line. Both attempts run under a timeout and honour cancellation, killing the git process and continuing on the current HEAD rather than hanging.
Details
Runs with -c alias.switch= so a user-defined switch alias cannot take over the command.
The child process is killed with SIGKILL on timeout or abort.
Evidence
as checkout -B
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
