[Bug] Worktree feature causes excessive token consumption and system resource exhaustion

Bug Description
I had an issue with claude and worktrees, then I asked it to copy the project, it had missed .gitignore, and commited node_modules dist and dist_history into multiple worktrees, after that it wasted 125% of my 5h limit and around 20% of weekly limit, then halted, broke worktrees locks and crashed my M1 mac, so it rebooted. this worktree feature is pretty buggy, it blocks subagents with lock files in .git, and wastes tokens. I wasted several hours to figure out why my m1 has cpu 100% loaded and everything gitters. BTW, you guys has an action for opensource devs, 200$ subscription. I'm an author and maintainer of @react-google-maps/api npm package which has 1.5 million weekly downloads, and a bunch of smaller once. Can you please increase my limits 2 times? I'm cooking something great for claude and bun!
