Solution written to ~/solution.md (also copied to /workspace/solution.md).
The environment had no gitreins source or repo (the binary is a broken pipx symlink), so I reproduced the failure mechanism directly with Git worktrees and verified both the bug and the fix.
gitreins resolves its store relative to the current working tree (git rev-parse --show-toplevel → <toplevel>/.gitreins/tasks.yaml). A linked worktree is a checkout of a commit, not of the main working directory, so:
git worktree add) never appear in the worktree..gitreins, so it can't repair this.task complete <id> therefore always reports Task not found inside the worktree.Verified minimal proof:
lookup in worktree : Task not found
lookup in main tree: FOUND T1
task complete; only state-flip/commit and hand back the branch.bash
MAIN_ROOT="$(git worktree list --porcelain | awk '/^worktree /{print $2; exit}')"
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
git merge --no-ff "wave/$ID" -m "merge wave: $ID"
gitreins task complete "$ID" --force --skip-tier2
gitreins judge --async --task "$ID"
# poll to terminal stategr() that always re-anchors execution to the main worktree (verified to work even when called from inside a worktree).--git-common-dir, fail loudly for linked worktrees, upsert on --force, commit rows before forking.The document includes the exact commands, a Python resolver snippet, a self-contained reproduction script, observed output, acceptance criteria, and an anti-pattern table. This also enforces the correct wave pattern: tier-2 grades the merged tree, not the branch tip.
