Worktree creation fails hard with embedded Git if the expected version of libcurl is not installed (on Arch, had to install libcurl-gnutls).

Research direction

Start by reproducing worktree creation from the /chat path on EndeavourOS or another system without the expected libcurl package, using the embedded Git setup described in the report. Trace how the missing dependency is handled; done means worktree creation no longer fails hard or presents a clear actionable dependency error.
