When unset or empty, Herdr uses `$SHELL`, then `/bin/sh`. This is an executable name or path, not a shell command line. Existing panes keep their current shell until they are recreated. Command panes still run through `/bin/sh -c`; detached custom command keybindings use Herdr's existing `/bin/sh -lc` path.

Worktree actions are available from Git workspace rows. `New worktree` creates a branch and checkout, opens it as a new Herdr workspace, and groups it under the source workspace. `Open worktree...` lists existing Git worktree checkouts for that repo; choosing an already-open checkout focuses it, and choosing a closed checkout opens it in the same group.
