What is new in Grove 0.1.1

Grove v0.1.1 adds worktree creation and deletion, automatic refresh, and clearer feedback for Git operations.

## What's new

- Create worktrees from an existing branch or a new branch based on a selected local branch.
- Remove worktrees with confirmation and checks that protect local changes.
- Automatically refresh worktree lists, changed-file counts, and diffs when files or Git metadata change.
- Show Pull success and failure in dismissible toasts, with refined action buttons and a Pull tooltip.
- Simplify worktree path actions and show a toast when a path is copied.
- Improve project navigation and fix stale loading indicators when returning to a busy project.
- Add macOS CI for automated tests, release builds, and app bundle validation.

## Install

**Requires macOS 14 or later and Git.** The universal app supports Apple Silicon (`arm64`) and Intel (`x86_64`).

1. Download `Grove-0.1.1-macOS-universal.dmg` below.
2. Open it and drag **Grove.app** onto **Applications**.
3. Open Grove and choose **Add Project…** to select a repository or worktree.

The ZIP contains the same app for users who prefer an archive.

## Signing and notarization

The app and DMG are **Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple**. Notarization tickets are stapled to both. The final DMG and the apps packaged in both downloads pass Gatekeeper assessment.
