Custom process: named throwaway worktrees and parallel groups #1383
A Process declares [worktrees.<name>] with kind = "throwaway", and each Step names its worktree. Consecutive Steps sharing parallel = "<group>" run together. Every session or command Step counts as editing its worktree, so parallel Steps can't share a worktree. Each parallel Step gets its own throwaway worktree, and a file that breaks this is refused. When a Step in a group fails, the group's other Steps finish first, then the group fails unless the failed Step is optional. Each group member's result is passed on to the Steps after the group. Combined with per-Step Harnesses, this is the three-family bug check: three parallel Steps on three families, then a judging Step.
Acceptance criteria
Three parallel Steps in three worktrees run at the same time (the fake Harnesses overlap), and a following Step's prompt names all three results.
Parallel Steps that share a worktree are refused, naming the rule and line. So is a Step naming an unknown worktree.
When one parallel Step fails, the others still finish and record their results before the Process fails.
Every throwaway worktree is removed at the end, and none is left after a failure, unless thirdshift's usual retention rules keep one.
check prints which worktree each Step uses and which Steps run together.
