What is the current behavior?

Issue Number: N/A

In git worktree ng cache clean removes only shared cache, which since #33519 lives in main checkout. Since #33976 dev-server keeps its Vite cache in worktree itself and purge and watcher handle both paths, but clean was left with shared one only

So in worktree it wipes cache of main checkout and leaves .angular/cache/<version>/<project>/dev-server/vite/deps of worktree, the stale prebundles it is usually run for. Repro on 22.3.0-next.3: git worktree add, ng serve and one page request in worktree, then ng cache clean, main checkout cache is gone and vite/deps in worktree is still there

What is the new behavior?

getCacheConfig also returns localPath, resolved against workspace same way as localBasePath in normalizeCacheOptions, and ng cache clean removes both. Outside of worktree both are same path, so nothing changes there

New clean/cli_spec.ts covers standard repo and worktree, worktree case fails on main

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

• Yes
• No

Other information

ng cache info still shows only shared path, left it as is

Code Review

This pull request updates the cache cleaning command to clean both the shared cache and the worktree-local cache when running in a Git worktree. It introduces a new CacheConfig interface to track localPath and updates the cache utility functions and tests accordingly. Feedback is provided to add a safeguard preventing accidental deletion of sensitive directories (like the workspace root or .git directory) if the cache path is misconfigured.

Thanks for addressing this! The approach is clean and correctly resolves the stale Vite cache issue in Git worktrees.

Please address the inline suggestions before merging:

1. Concurrent deletion: Use Promise.all in clean/cli.ts so deletions run concurrently and a failure in deleting the shared checkout cache doesn't block the worktree-local cache deletion.
2. Type-only imports: Use import type in cli_spec.ts for type annotations.
3. Test coverage: Add tests for custom cache.path and missing cache directories (idempotency) in cli_spec.ts, and assert localPath in the nested workspace and submodule tests in utilities_spec.ts.

thanks, all done in 74f6ef1: Promise.all in clean, type-only imports, custom path and missing cache tests in cli_spec.ts, and localPath asserts in nested, fallback and submodule cases
