What
--worktree starts Claude Code in a separate git worktree, a second working copy of a repository. It fails in two cases: when the folder is not a git repository, and when the top folder of the repository cannot be found. Both errors used to print a message and quit straight away. They now go through the shared routine Claude Code uses to exit, and each carries its own code: worktree_not_git and worktree_no_repo_root.
