Description

I need to be able to customize the full worktree path... My normal dev path is D:\dev\Project - anything longer than this falls foul to CMAKE OBJECT_PATH_MAX (250 chars)
(Windows long paths and Git long paths are set - but CMAKE has issues)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 with a repository path longer than 250 characters, then trace how the app selects and stores its worktree path. Done means the full worktree path can be customized and the reported CMAKE OBJECT_PATH_MAX failure is avoided.
