Starting a card used to make Obeya wait for git: in a large repository, adding the card's worktree can take a minute on Windows, and meanwhile no canvas answered. Now the card takes its workspace at once and shows "Preparing the workspace …" while git works in the background. Pages, other cards and other canvases stay usable, and the agent starts once its workspace is ready.
Starting a card no longer holds up Obeya
