Migrate Worktree

Migrate a worktree to a different machine type (LOCAL or REMOTE).

For LOCAL: Requires target_machine_id pointing to a user's machine. For REMOTE: Creates a managed machine (sandbox), provisions the workspace, and starts sessions in the sandbox.

The migration process:

  1. Stops any running sessions on the current machine (if migrating from local)
  2. Updates the worktree's machine association
  3. For REMOTE: Provisions sandbox workspace and starts sessions in background

Special case: When source='base_ref' and worktree_name is provided, creates a new worktree with that name as REMOTE from base_ref, ignoring the worktree_id.
