What
Rewind and fork let you restore a project's files to an earlier saved snapshot. The restore logic now compares the snapshot's recorded file states against the current state of the working files (the worktree) before applying it. If any tracked file, or its file metadata, changed after the snapshot was taken, the restore is refused with a "not applied" result and reason worktree_changed, instead of applying a now-stale snapshot on top of newer changes.
Why
This prevents rewind or fork from silently overwriting file changes made after a snapshot was captured, which could otherwise cause quiet data loss.
