Agent Manager now claims a ready worktree instead of running a full checkout, on by default at the cost of one extra checkout of disk per open project (GitHub). The primary checkout resolves in one git call instead of four, agents and skills are discovered for a new worktree before the first prompt arrives, and the first snapshot reuses the checkout's index state instead of re-hashing every file, with object repacking deferred until the repo is idle. Same release enables the Kilo Swarm shared board by default and adds posting inline review comments to a checked-out GitHub PR from the diff views.
