 - **Plan Rollback Command** (#8557): Implemented `agents plan rollback <plan-id> [<checkpoint-id>]` for checkpoint-based plan state restoration in Epic #8493. The command restores a plan's sandbox to the state captured at a given checkpoint, discarding all decisions made after that checkpoint. The checkpoint can be specified as an optional positional second argument or via the `--to-checkpoint` named option. Supports `--yes/-y` flag to skip confirmation prompts and `--format/-f` for output format selection (rich/plain/json/yaml). Included with comprehensive BDD test coverage (>= 97%) and spec-aligned output formatting showing rollback summary, changes reverted, impact analysis, and post-rollback state panels.
 
 ### Fixed
+- **Guard cleanup_stale against execute/processing and execute/complete plans** (#11121):
+  ``_create_sandbox_for_plan()`` in ``src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py`` now
+  skips ``GitWorktreeSandbox.cleanup_stale()`` when the plan is in
+  ``execute/processing`` (execution in progress) or ``execute/complete`` (execution
+  finished, awaiting apply) state.  Previously, re-invoking ``agents plan execute``
+  on a completed plan would silently destroy the ``cleveragents/plan-<id>`` git
+  worktree branch, causing ``plan apply`` to merge zero artifacts.  The guard
+  preserves the branch per spec (§sandbox.cleanup defaults to ``on_apply``).
+
 - **Global CLI options ``--data-dir``, ``--config-path``, and ``-v`` now work correctly**
   (#6785): These spec-required flags were absent from ``main_callback()`` in
   ``src/cleveragents/cli/main.py``, causing any invocation with these flags to crash
