What
Internal git helpers used for the "teleport" feature (upstream-set, branch checkout, current-branch lookup) now resolve a stable checkout root via a new helper and pass an explicit working directory and environment to every git subprocess, instead of relying on the process's ambient working directory.
A new verification step checks that the checkout's .git entry actually points back to the resolved repository, throwing an error ("Could not verify this checkout's git repository") if it doesn't.
A new auto-stash helper stages untracked files and runs git stash push --message, backing a new "Teleport auto-stash" flow that stashes uncommitted changes before teleporting.
Why
This prevents teleport's git commands from accidentally acting on the wrong repository or directory, and avoids losing uncommitted work by stashing it automatically before switching.
