Parent: #525

Summary

The coordinator's spawn flow (in squad.agent.md and the spawn orchestration code) doesn't create worktrees before spawning agents. Agents are spawned into the main checkout, which means parallel agents on different branches collide.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Coordinator creates a worktree before spawning an agent (when worktree mode is active)
  • WORKTREE_PATH is included in spawn prompts so agents know their working directory
  • Spawn template in squad.agent.md updated with worktree context
  • Worktree path follows convention: {repo-root}/../{repo-name}-{issue-number} or configurable
  • Agents spawned into worktrees operate correctly (build, test, commit, push)

Key Files

  • .squad-templates/squad.agent.md (canonical coordinator prompt)
  • Spawn orchestration in SDK

Assigned: Procedures (prompt architecture) + EECOM (runtime)
