What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The worktree block in settings takes an optional location path saying where Claude Code Desktop should create worktrees for SSH sessions on this machine, instead of the default <project>/.claude/worktrees. Only the desktop app reads it; the setting's own description states that the CLI does not.
Details
Applies per machine, so the path is a local one.
--worktree, EnterWorktree and agent isolation continue to use the project-relative default regardless of this key.
Evidence
The CLI (--worktree, EnterWorktree, agent isolation) does not read it yet.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
