What
Before running git worktree prune, Claude Code checks whether a repository is safe to touch, using git's safe.directory ownership rules. Before, any failure of this check gave the same message saying the folder was owned by another user. Now the refusal gives the real reason:
Git could not run
Git exited with an error, with the exit code shown
Git gave no answer
Git did not name the folder
Why
The old message blamed folder ownership even when git itself had failed to run, which sent you looking in the wrong place.
