## Message

```
agent: When opening a remote thread check that the linked worktree path exists (#54353)

If the path doesn't exist we fallback to the main worktree path. This
handles the edge case where a git linked worktree is deleted on a remote
machine, and a user tries to open a thread based on that.

We fallback to the main git worktree in this case, if that doesn't exist
the project will open in an error state (empty workspace) like we
already do
