Multi-CLI Parallelism & Conflict Prevention

Pillar: multi-cli-coordination | Date: April 2026
Scope: Worktree-per-CLI vs branch-per-issue vs shared-main + locks: what real teams have settled on with evidence. Concurrent in-flight edit detection across agents beyond git merge conflicts. Issue tracker patterns: SQLite local vs GitHub Issues vs hybrid, with production evidence. Lock-free coordination patterns from real multi-agent systems. Pre-push hooks and merge-gate patterns that have shipped successfully. Evidence from teams running 4+ parallel CLI agents simultaneously.
