Orca agent worktrees

Orca is an open-source agent development environment for running multiple coding agents side by side in isolated Git worktrees, with review and merge workflows. Why it matters: Comparing several coding agents on the same task is easier when their changes are isolated, reviewable, and mergeable rather than mixed in one working tree.

Try this: Use a disposable repository to run two agents on the same small issue, then compare diffs, tests, review steps, and merge friction before using the workflow on important code.
