Agent and feature worktrees often leave multi-GB checkouts invisible to existing cache scanners. Discover them via deep home crawl plus git worktree registries, and surface age/orphan details in interactive selection.

What does this PR do?
Adds a new
git-worktreesscanner that finds stale and orphaned git worktrees left behind by agents and local feature checkouts. These often contain full dependency trees and can reclaim tens of gigabytes, but were invisible to existing cache/node_modulesscanners.Discovery combines a deep home crawl with git worktree registries (so registered worktrees outside the crawl path are still found), plus dedicated agent roots (
~/.cursor/worktrees,~/.claude/worktrees,~/.codex/worktrees).The interactive picker and verbose scan output now show a detail column with relative age (
17d ago) ororphaned.Type of change
