Problem
When a new worktree is created (e.g., via git worktree add during /implement --batch or single-issue runs), the worktree directory does not inherit two untracked files from the parent repo that are required for pytest collection to work:
plugins/__init__.py — makes the plugins directory a Python packageplugins/autonomous_dev symlink → plugins/autonomous-dev — resolves the underscore/hyphen name mismatch that Python module imports require
Both are untracked (not in .gitignore, not committed), so git worktree add does not copy them. The first pytest collection attempt in a new worktree fails with import errors until these are manually recreated:
# Required manual fixup after worktree creation:
touch plugins/__init__.py
ln -s autonomous-dev plugins/autonomous_dev
This surfaced during the Issue #991 pipeline run (2026-05-24) where pytest collection failed in the worktree until manually fixed.
Evidence
Suggested Fix
Add a post-worktree-creation step in the pipeline coordinator that runs after git worktree add and before the first pytest invocation:
# After: git worktree add {path} {branch}
touch {path}/plugins/__init__.py
ln -sf autonomous-dev {path}/plugins/autonomous_devAlternative: commit plugins/__init__.py (1-byte file) and the symlink so git worktree add propagates them automatically. The symlink can be committed as-is on macOS/Linux. This is the simpler fix.
The worktree command in commands/implement.md STEP 3 setup block should include this fixup.
