What
When starting in background-job mode, Claude Code now reads job state and runs a worktree reclaim before background jobs begin, timed by a new setup_bg_worktree_adopt_ms metric.
Details
Only reached on the background-job startup path; ordinary interactive startup is unaffected.
A failure logs "[worktree] bg adopt-time reclaim skipped" and startup continues.
Evidence
[worktree] bg adopt-time reclaim skipped
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
