<H3>When creation fails</H3>
<P>
Because you asked for an isolated worktree, Dispatch won't silently
fall back to running in the main checkout. If the worktree can't be
created — a name collision, a missing starting branch, or another git
error — the agent is marked <Code>stopped</Code> with the underlying
git error in its <strong>Last error</strong>, and its card shows an{" "}
<strong>Attention</strong> badge. Any partially-created worktree or
branch is cleaned up, so fixing the cause and relaunching starts from
a clean slate.
