fix: add debug log for venv fallback success in worktree setup

+To fully clear all PR review data so reviews run fresh, delete/reset these three things in `.auto-claude/github/`:
+
+1. `rm .auto-claude/github/pr/logs_*.json` — review log files
+2. `rm .auto-claude/github/pr/review_*.json` — review result files
+3. Reset `pr/index.json` to `{"reviews": [], "last_updated": null}`
+4. Reset `bot_detection_state.json` to `{"reviewed_commits": {}}` — this is the gatekeeper; without clearing it, the bot detector skips already-seen commits

+Dependency Strategy Mapping
+============================
+
+Maps dependency types to sharing strategies for worktree creation.
+
+Each dependency ecosystem has different constraints:
+
+- **node_modules**: Safe to symlink. Node's resolution algorithm follows symlinks
+  correctly, and the directory is self-contained.
+
+- **venv / .venv**: Symlinked for fast worktree creation. CPython bug #106045
+  (pyvenv.cfg symlink resolution) does not affect typical usage (running scripts,
+  imports, pip). A health check after symlinking verifies usability; if it fails,
+  the caller falls back to recreating the venv.
+
+- **vendor (PHP)**: Safe to symlink. Composer's autoloader uses ``__DIR__``-relative
+  paths that resolve correctly through symlinks.
+
+- **cargo target / go modules**: Skip entirely. Rust's ``target/`` dir contains
+  per-machine build artifacts that must be rebuilt. Go uses a global module cache
+  (``$GOPATH/pkg/mod``), so there is nothing in-tree to share.
