Key points

  • Git lacks visibility into agent identity, prompts, reasoning, tools, and context between commits.
  • Worktrees provide spatial isolation for concurrent agent tasks.
  • An append-only ledger records operational history, creating continuity.
  • Repositories evolve from source containers to distributed cognitive workspaces.
