+# Recovered branches
+
+On 2026-09-02 a sweep found work in this repository and its siblings that
+existed **only on one machine**: local branches never pushed, and in one case
+files that were not in git at all. Everything below is now on the remote.
+
+This file exists so the sweep does not have to happen twice. If you abandon a
+branch, either delete it or add a line here; a branch that is neither pushed
+nor recorded is one `rm -rf` from gone.
+
+## WorkTable
+
+| branch | head | status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `feat/partition-by` | `f0e05e6` | Already an ancestor of `master`. Nothing lost; an earlier note calling it unpushed was stale. |
+| `backup/partition-by-local` | `2e3273f` | **Not in master, 4 commits.** An older `partition_by` variant plus a commit titled "save uncommitted local work before the machine is wiped". Superseded in the main line, but read it before deleting. |
+| `feat/ps-reclaim-beta16` | `cca00d0` | The beta.16 release candidate. Superseded by beta.17 (#87). |
+| `fix/codegen-clippy-and-ci-parity` | `40b2815` | Head is at beta.12. Long superseded. |
+
+## WorkTablesIndex
+
+| branch | head | status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `feat/pointer-free-topology-snapshots` | `275aacd` | Never pushed. 152 lines in the concurrent map and set. Now WorkTablesIndex#15. Needs a decision against #14, which touches the same structures. |
+| `backup/full-upstream-sync-20260803` | `99ca45a` | Never pushed. Seven upstream `indexset` commits: node split fix, `MultiPair` customisation, flaky test fixes. |
+
+## wt-benchmarks
+
+| branch | status |
+|---|---|
+| `bench/agentcode-codegraph` | Never pushed. The AgentCode storage profile, 788 lines. Now wt-benchmarks#7. |
+| `rescue/uncommitted-20260902` | A snapshot of work that was **not in git at all**: the MoE-PGO profile (598 lines, untracked and in no stash), `scripts/compare-worktable-versions.sh`, a second AgentCode benchmark, and 617 lines of uncommitted edits. Now wt-benchmarks#8. Not for merge; cherry-pick from it. |
+
+## What made this necessary
+
+Two independent AgentCode benchmarks were written by different people who did
+not know about each other, and the MoE-PGO benchmark spent its life as
+untracked files in a shared working tree. Both are registered in
+`docs/BENCHMARK_CATALOG.md` in wt-benchmarks now, under "Consumer profiles",
+which is the list to add to rather than starting a third.
