[Bug] Branch picker search fails to find existing branches in Claude Code Desktop
Bug Description
Bug: Branch picker in Claude Code Desktop shows "No branches found" when searching for a branch that exists
Environment: Claude Code Desktop app
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a repository in Claude Code Desktop where
developis set as the default branch on GitHub. - In the bottom bar, click the base branch selector (showing
mainwith an arrow pointing to the feature branch). - Type
develop(or any part of it) into the search field.
Expected behavior: The develop branch appears in the dropdown and can be selected as the base branch.
Actual behavior: The dropdown shows "No branches found", even though develop is the default branch of the repository and the app header correctly displays "Review code changes against develop branch".
Screenshot: The header reads "Review code changes against develop branch" while the branch picker simultaneously reports no results for the query deve.
Notes: The app appears to be aware of the develop branch (it shows it in the header) but the branch picker search does not find it.
