When running in a git worktree, repoRoot() returns the worktree directory instead of the main repo root. This causes the QMD collection name to differ per worktree, ghost status to report the collection as missing, and .ai-sessions/ to be created inside the worktree (lost on cleanup). Add mainRepoRoot() which uses git rev-parse --git-common-dir to resolve the main repo root. Use it for session storage, QMD collection naming, and all session/knowledge CLI commands. Keep repoRoot() for worktree-local config files (.claude/settings.json, .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md) placed by ghost enable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Verify that mainRepoRoot() returns the main repo from worktrees, sessions created from worktrees are stored in the main repo, collection names are stable across worktrees, and ghost enable from a worktree places config locally but sessions in the main repo.

Add Git Worktrees section to README explaining storage behavior and the two approaches for getting hooks into worktrees (commit config files vs run ghost enable per worktree). Note the implication for Claude Code's automatic worktrees. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
