Agents working side by side each need a working copy with its own current change, sharing one repository's records.
Workspaces:
origin workspace new [--change X] [path], list and rm.
Each workspace has its own change pointer and stat cache, and shares the main copy's store and index.
Commands in different workspaces run concurrently.
Checkouts:
Files another working copy holds unmodified are cloned copy-on-write, or copied where the file system can't clone. They are written in parallel, then made durable with one batch sync before the working copy points at them.
A checkout never overwrites an edit made since the command's snapshot. It checks each file again just before replacing it.
A directory that still holds untracked files is never turned into a file.
A refused checkout writes nothing and puts back the files it changed.
Behind and pull:
Only land moves the working copy of its own workspace; no other command checks files out on its own.
A workspace whose change landed elsewhere, or was rebased by the queue, is behind. status and log say so, building commands refuse, and its edits stay unrecorded so the change doesn't fork.
origin pull follows the change, onto the landed tip or onto the queue's rebase, merging the edits made since, with conflict markers and core.conflict where they collide.
Benchmarks:
A checkout of 20k files takes about 260 ms; most of that is the durable sync, and ext4 needs about 190 ms just to write the files back.
status with 100 edits takes about 57 ms.
Review fixes: any failed checkout takes its files back, workspace rm refuses only a workspace that is behind and edited, and clones get the mode their entry names. Proved with focused tests that fail without their fix, and just (332 tests).

Walkthrough
The change adds shared-repository workspaces with separate working copies, checkout protections and file reuse, and commands to create, list, remove, and pull workspaces. Pull follows landed or rebased changes and preserves local edits, including unresolved conflicts.

Summary
Protected checkout and file reuse apps/origin-src/src/worktree.rs, apps/origin-src/src/workspace.rs, apps/origin-src/tests/cli.rs, apps/origin-src/benches/workspace.rs, apps/origin-src/Cargo.toml
Checkout detects edits before replacing files and restores only unchanged paths. It can reuse verified files from sibling workspaces by cloning or copying. Tests cover edit protection and restore behavior; benchmarks compare checkout from the store, copying, and cloning.
The CLI adds workspace creation, listing, and removal. Workspace roots reference a shared repository, and the registry records workspace paths. Tests cover shared records, independent working copies, removal, and concurrent edits.
Snapshot and behind-state handling apps/origin-src/src/workspace.rs, apps/origin-src/src/workspace/annotate.rs
Working-copy inspection maintains an in-memory index and detects when a change has landed or been rebased. Read-only commands report behind state; commands that build on the working copy reject it until it is pulled.
Pull follows landed or rebased changes, or rebases onto the target tip. Merge results retain local edits and unresolved conflicts. Tests cover landings, queue rebases, conflict resolution, and a failed checkout during pull. The README documents the commands and behavior.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review a141e
Cloned executable files can lose their executable bit on Linux copy-on-write filesystems. A failed checkout for reasons other than edited files can leave the working copy half-switched, and the next command records that mix as a new revision. Removing a workspace that has no edits but is behind is refused until the user runs pull. The first two should be fixed before merge; the third is an inconvenience.

Review comments at @apps/origin-src/src/workspace.rs:
- Around line 517-520: Update switch_to so every checkout error triggers a
best-effort restore of the original snapshot and working-copy files, then return
the original checkout error regardless of whether restoration succeeds.
Review comments at @apps/origin-src/src/workspace/registry.rs:
- Around line 127-134: Update remove_workspace to use workspace.inspect()
instead of workspace.refresh(), then call workspace.following() only when
working_copy.files differs from working_copy.revision.snapshot. This lets a
behind workspace with no edits be removed while preserving protection against
losing edits.
Review comments at @apps/origin-src/src/worktree.rs:
- Around line 955-956: Update the clone_to handling in write_file so every
successful clone explicitly applies entry.kind with set_kind, including when the
returned kind matches the expected kind; preserve the existing fallback behavior
when cloning fails. Do not change the APFS clonefile path.

`origin workspace new [--change X] [path]`, `list` and `rm` give a
repository several working copies, like git worktrees, so agents can work
side by side. Each workspace has its own current change, `.origin/workspace`
pointer and stat cache, and shares the main working copy's store and index:
its `.origin/repository` names the main `.origin`, which lists the other
workspaces in `workspaces/`. Records are immutable and the index and target
chains lock, so commands in different workspaces run concurrently.
Every checkout, including `edit`, `abandon`, `converge` and the working
copy following its change after `land`, clones files from the other
working copies, copying where the file system cannot clone, when their
stat caches prove the files unmodified: the original is checked again
after the clone, and every write would have moved its ctime. Other files
are written from the store. Files are now written in parallel, a
contiguous run per core, which keeps threads off each other's directory
locks, and are durable, with one batch sync, before the working copy
points at them; a large checkout syncs its first half in the background
while it writes the second. A checkout refuses to overwrite a file edited
since the command's snapshot, checking each file again just before it
replaces it, and only reads another workspace's stat cache while it still
needs an original. A command moving the working copy to a new revision
writes it only once its checkout is done: a refused checkout writes
nothing, and takes back the files it changed, leaving edited ones as they
are.
Landing moves the working copy of the workspace it runs in; nothing else
moves files on its own. A workspace whose change landed elsewhere, or
which the landing queue rebased, is behind it: `status` and `log` say so,
the commands that build on the working copy refuse, and its edits stay
unrecorded rather than fork the change. `origin pull` follows the change:
a new change on the target's tip once it landed, or the queue's rebase,
with the edits made since; otherwise it rebases the working copy onto its
target's tip. Edits that conflict keep both versions between conflict
markers, with a `core.conflict` statement, so they don't land until
resolved. The snapshot hands the index it read to the command, which adds
what it writes instead of reading it again.
A new workspace's pointer is published last, so a crash never leaves partial
files for a snapshot to record. Removing a workspace snapshots it first, so
its work stays a revision of its change.
