Git worktrees are broken, slow and generally not good

So far I have not had a good experience with the new merging processes versus the old checkpoint method, I am using the IDE interface and frequently get that it just cant do things correctly:

Failed to apply worktree to current branch: Unable to read file ‘/Users/dan/.cursor/worktrees/mindlattice-rag/KpKbd/chatbox-v2/next.config.ts’ (Error: Unable to resolve nonexistent file ‘/Users/dan/.cursor/worktrees/mindlattice-rag/KpKbd/chatbox-v2/next.config.ts’)

I then have to manually go and find the file and copy and paste it - this isnt a good experience

Yeah this is actually unusable now - its just lost all of the work in the worktree - wont apply and now I cant do anything with it. Back to Claude

Failed to apply worktree to current branch: ENOPRO: No file system provider found for resource ‘vscode-notebook-cell:/Users/[username]/.cursor/worktrees/[folder]/EexbJ/[file].ipynb#W2sZmlsZQ%3D%3D’
