## Background
Current worktree workflow excludes `.yoi/**` from child implementation worktrees. This was originally a conservative way to keep generated/personal memory and runtime state out of child worktrees. As Ticket/Workflow orchestration has become project-record based, excluding all of `.yoi` is too broad.
Project records such as `.yoi/tickets`, `.yoi/workflow`, `.yoi/knowledge`, and `.yoi/ticket.config.toml` may need to be visible in child worktrees for branch-local artifacts, workflow edits, review dossiers, and Ticket-aware implementation. Generated memory/runtime/local files should still be excluded.
## Goal
Narrow child worktree sparse-checkout exclusions so git-tracked Yoi project records can appear in child worktrees while memory/local/runtime state remains excluded.
## Requirements
- Update `worktree-workflow` and any worktree creation helpers/scripts to stop excluding all of `.yoi/**`.
- Include git-tracked project record paths where appropriate:
- `.yoi/tickets/**`;
- `.yoi/workflow/**`;
- `.yoi/knowledge/**` when curated/tracked;
- `.yoi/ticket.config.toml`;
- other tracked Yoi project config/resources as needed.
- Continue excluding generated/personal/local/runtime paths, including at least:
- `.yoi/memory/**`;
- `.yoi/**/_logs/**`;
- `.yoi/tickets/.ticket-backend.lock`;
- local/override/secret-like files according to existing ignore/config policy.
- Define the edit policy for Ticket records in child worktrees:
- branch-local artifacts / merge-ready dossier may be written in child worktree when part of the implementation branch;
- active orchestration progress and final Ticket review/approval/close remain main-workspace responsibilities unless explicitly designed otherwise;
- avoid concurrent edits to the same Ticket thread from main and child worktree.
- Ensure generated/personal memory is not copied into child worktrees.
- Update tests/docs/workflows that currently assume `.yoi` is absent from child worktrees.
## Non-goals
- Moving memory storage out of `.yoi/memory`; that belongs to the memory root marker ticket.
- Making child implementation Pods responsible for final Ticket closure.
- Allowing secret/local files into child worktrees.
- Replacing the main workspace as the orchestration authority.
## Acceptance criteria
- New child worktrees include relevant tracked `.yoi` project records but exclude `.yoi/memory` and local/runtime files.
- Worktree workflow documentation states the new sparse-checkout rules and Ticket edit policy.
- Child worktree creation validation checks that memory/local paths are absent while project record paths can be present.
- Orchestrator workflows can use child worktrees for branch-local artifacts/dossiers without copying generated memory.
