missing worktree path

Error message

missing worktree path

What it means

The git_log_context CLI binary was invoked without the required worktree path positional argument. run() consumes args_os() and treats the first positional arg as the worktree dir; when absent it prints usage and returns this sentinel anyhow error, so the process exits with FAILURE after argument parsing, before any git work happens.

Solutions

1. Invoke the binary with the worktree path as the first positional argument, e.g. git_log_context /path/to/worktree <query-path>
2. If scripting the tool, check the argument count before spawning and emit the intended usage message yourself
