### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

I couldn’t run multi-agent. When I was trying to do that, I got error messages across all the agents:

Failed to create Git worktree: Error executing git: Preparing worktree (detached HEAD bd190a9) fatal: ‘/Users/wli/.cursor/worktrees/api/ZMR40’ already exists , cwd: /Users/wli/projects/api, command: “git worktree add --detach /Users/wli/.cursor/worktrees/api/ZMR40 bd190a91ec52811b14bf7e9cd56e72d3274edf52”

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Go into Agents mode.
2. Select multiple agents.
3. Enter any prompt.

### Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is for the agents to run successfully.

### For AI issues: which model did you use?

Any model will break as long as it’s using the multi-agent capability.

### For AI issues: add Request ID with privacy disabled

None. The agents weren’t even kicked off.

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
