invalid worktree update. removed entries: {}, updated entrie

Error message

invalid worktree update. removed entries: {}, updated entries: {}

What it means

update_worktree rejects proto::UpdateWorktree payloads whose removed_entries or updated_entries exceed proto::MAX_WORKTREE_UPDATE_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE. It is a protocol-level chunk-size guard; the counts in the message show which side of the update was oversized.

Solutions

1. Split the worktree update into smaller chunks within the protocol limit
2. Update both peers to versions agreeing on the chunk size limit
