What
Directory sync now performs an upfront check before running any git operation: if the working tree's .git location has changed since it was last read, the operation is refused immediately with reason git_dir. A second new refusal, git_in_reach, fires when the git executable itself is located inside a path that a session bound to a linked worktree could write to.
Why
These checks stop git operations from running against a .git directory that has moved unexpectedly, or using a git binary that could have been tampered with from within a writable worktree.
