Couldn't get worktree path

Error message

Couldn't get worktree path

What it means

save_scenario asks the workspace for the absolute path of the worktree (needed to locate the task definition file); absolute_path_of_worktree returned None, typically because the worktree no longer exists in the workspace. The worktree_id parameter is the input at fault.

Solutions

1. Verify the worktree is still open in the workspace
2. Retry from a panel state where the owning worktree is present
