Description

I use git worktree a lot, it would be nice if node-core-utils could identify when we're running commands on a worktree and look for .ncu/ on the main worktree.

No files or tests are named. Start by locating ncu's configuration-resolution entry point and reproduce the behavior from a Git worktree; done should mean finding .ncu/ in the main worktree while preserving normal checkout resolution.
