What
A git worktree is an extra working copy of a repository, stored in its own folder. Git keeps a record of each worktree it knows about. When Claude Code removes a worktree, it checks whether git still has it registered.
Some records could not be read, for example links or unreadable files. Those used to be skipped without comment. Claude Code now notes them as "could not be checked" and reports that git "may still register this worktree".
Why
Cleanup is more cautious. Claude Code no longer assumes a worktree is fully removed when it could not confirm that.
