…sn't claim the worktree is on disk
The old message read "Branch cleanup skipped for now." That sounded like
a present-tense fact ("worktree still here"), but in practice the
autofinish watcher (or `gx worktree prune --include-pr-merged`) prunes
the worktree shortly after the PR merges — so the worktree may be
*gone* by the time the agent reads the line.
The new message:
PR pending review/check policy. Worktree retained for now; the
autofinish watcher (or 'gx worktree prune --include-pr-merged
--delete-branches') will prune it after merge. Verify with
'git worktree list' before claiming the worktree is still on disk.
Why: agents (Claude in particular) were reading "skipped for now" as
proof of presence and recommending a follow-up `gx branch finish ...
--cleanup` to users whose worktree had already been pruned — confusing
output and wasted turns.
Updates the matching regex in `src/doctor/index.js#doctorFinishFlowIsPending`
to anchor on "PR pending review/check policy." so doctor still
recognises this state. The same string lives in
`templates/scripts/agent-branch-finish.sh` (the canonical script
templated into managed repos) and is updated alongside.
