Description
Claude Code creates worktrees in the folder .claude/worktrees.
When I run rtk grep, it also grips the git worktrees in this folder. This is problematic, since these folders are out of scope for any agentic session.
rtk grep should automatically skip this folder - at least, when used together with Claude Code.
I think git grep and rg are ignoring .gitignore

Research direction
Start by tracing the implementation of the rtk grep command and reproduce the behavior in a repository containing .claude/worktrees. Check how git grep and rg apply ignore rules, then verify that rtk grep skips .claude/worktrees while continuing to search other repository paths.
