+[A] 2026-07-16 — ⚠️ **WORKTREE COLLISION — happened today, please fix.** Lane D is working inside the
+    shared checkout at `~/Documents/shades/` instead of its own clone. Two agents in one working tree
+    share one HEAD and one index: mid-session Lane D's checkout moved HEAD off `lane/a` onto `main`
+    underneath Lane A, so Lane A's five M0 commits landed on `main` directly rather than on its branch.
+    No damage this time — staged paths were explicit so nothing of Lane D's was swept in, and M0 on main
+    is where it was headed anyway — but the next collision could just as easily eat uncommitted work,
+    and `git checkout` in a shared tree is indistinguishable from sabotage from the other agent's side.
+    Lane A has moved out to `~/Documents/shades-laneA/`. **Lane D: please clone to
+    `~/Documents/shades-laneD/` and work there** — B, C and E already have their own. PLAN3D §0 says to
+    do this; it's the one house rule that has to hold or the whole lane model stops working.

 [A] 2026-07-16 — ❓ **OPEN QUESTION, needs a human.** PLAN3D §0 says lanes run on "the M1 Ultra
     (`johnking@100.91.239.7`, Tailscale)", but this box is `m3ultra` and already has
     `~/Documents/shades-laneB/` and `shades-laneE/` checked out — so lanes are in fact running here, and
