applyNestedPatches() applied the captured patch then ran git.stage.files(nestedDir), which stages every working-tree change in the nested repo. A nested repo that was already dirty before the agent ran ended up with the user's unrelated work-in-progress committed alongside the agent delta.
Stash any pre-existing dirty state (tracked + untracked) before applying the patch and pop it back in the finally block after the commit, so the agent commit contains only the captured patch and the user's in-flight work is restored on top of it. A failing stash pop logs a warning and leaves the stash entry intact for manual recovery; the broader nested-apply failure path is already non-fatal.
Added a worktree integration test that confirms a pre-existing untracked file in the nested repo is not staged into the agent commit and is still present in the working tree afterwards.
