ARIVARAN GIT
Clone once. Give every agent an isolated worktree.
Here is how it works: clone, add a worktree, files appear as they are touched, and each write stays private. Unchanged repository content stays storage-efficient; setup time, merge conflicts, and platform behavior still depend on your workload and platform.
Clone. Add. Touch. Write—without duplicating unchanged work.

UnavailableThe diagram shows the mechanism, its current result, and the limit that remains in force.
Step 1 of 3Reuse repository content without repeating it
On Linux, measured worktrees keep unchanged content shared through hardlinks. On Windows, user-mode coverage is a Preview and the driver-backed mode is still being validated. On macOS, APFS clone mode shares disk blocks between independent files.
Step 2 of 3Measured storage efficiency for parallel work
Our benchmark supports the storage claim. Setup time depends on the filesystem, and the single shared page cache applies to hardlink modes, not macOS clone mode.
Step 3 of 3Limits
macOS clone mode does not share one file copy or one page cache. Public Git installation stays unavailable until its separate installer, rollback, and release requirements are met.
Mechanism
On Linux, measured worktrees keep unchanged content shared through hardlinks. On Windows, user-mode coverage is a Preview and the driver-backed mode is still being validated. On macOS, APFS clone mode shares disk blocks between independent files.
Platform state
Status is per mode, not per platform. Linux hardlink mode with break-on-write is available within its tested scope. On Windows (NTFS), the isolation mode is available only when the verified, Microsoft-signed driver is installed and active, and that driver mode is still being validated; without the driver, the user-mode fallback, which copies files up front, is a best-effort Preview. macOS APFS clone mode is available, is still being validated, needs no special Apple permission, and uses copy-on-write clones rather than a shared page cache; the macOS hardlink mode stays unavailable until Apple grants that permission and the mode is validated.
Limits
macOS clone mode does not share one file copy or one page cache. Public Git installation stays unavailable until its separate installer, rollback, and release requirements are met.
Before you start
The Windows driver still has to be proven installing and loading on real devices, including Windows driver verification. macOS clone mode still needs its cloning, isolation, metadata, fallback, installer, and status checks validated.

What we claim depends on the mode, not just the platform.
Each row below is one isolation mode. A single badge per platform would hide that the Windows guarantee depends on a verified signed driver being active, and that macOS APFS clone mode is safe without special Apple permission but shares no page cache.
- Available
Linux · hardlinks with break-on-write
ext4: no copy-on-write; XFS: supports file cloning
Available on the Linux setups we have tested.
When a program opens a shared file to write, a background service pauses it until the file has its own private copy. Support covers the Linux distributions and versions on our tested list, not every Linux system.
- Available with the signed driver active
Windows/NTFS · Microsoft-signed driver
NTFS: no copy-on-write
Available only when the verified, Microsoft-signed driver is installed and active.
The driver files returned by Microsoft's signing service carry valid Windows signatures. Installing and loading the driver on real devices, and Windows driver verification, are not yet proven, so this mode is published as validation pending. This is not a WHQL certification, a Windows Update release, or a feature-release claim.
- Preview
Windows/NTFS · user-mode fallback
NTFS: no copy-on-write
Preview: best-effort coverage when the driver is missing, inactive, blocked, or not yet validated.
When the fallback cannot hook a process, it copies files up front instead. This fallback is a best-effort Preview and never a system-wide, driver-backed guarantee.
- Validation pending
macOS/APFS · clone mode
APFS copy-on-write
Available; validation pending. This mode needs no special Apple permission.
Each clone is an independent file whose disk blocks are shared until one side changes, so the mode is safe without intercepting file opens. An APFS clone is not a hardlink, so it does not share page cache or memory. Validation of cloning, write isolation, metadata, fallback on non-APFS volumes, installer setup, and status checks is still pending.
- Unavailable
macOS · hardlinks with break-on-write
APFS copy-on-write
Unavailable until Apple grants the EndpointSecurity permission and the mode is validated.
Watching file opens on macOS needs Apple's EndpointSecurity permission, plus signing, a configuration profile, a system extension, and user approval. Only this mode would share one file copy and one page cache; clone mode does not.
