What's Wrong?
Am I the only one no longer able to figure out how to switch off automatic work tree creation in the newest version. Updated to the latest claude code to do development on the desktop app and now it seems I'm forced into using worktrees?
Old UI had a neat tick box so you could choose how your session should work
What Should Happen?
Let me easily pick if I want to use worktrees
