The bugs I could only find by running the thing

Short summary

The author shares bugs discovered only by running ArDD, a Claude Code skills tool for plan-task-implement workflows with parallel subagents. Key findings: git worktrees branch from origin/main not local HEAD, an unexplained core.bare config flip, and a redesign so abandoned agents leave no mess. The core lesson: don't materialize coordinating state ahead of the work — let it ride the branch and land at merge.

• •Git worktrees branch from remote tracking branch, not local HEAD — verify never assume
• •Unexplained core.bare flip led to a tripwire check rather than a fake fix
• •Redesigned state to ride the work branch so dead runs are no-ops on main
