Description
The Claude Code Desktop home screen shows 16 stale "PRs in review" entries that cannot be dismissed. These appear to be orphaned worktree session records — no actual GitHub PRs exist (gh pr list returns empty), and no stale branches exist on the remote.
Steps to reproduce
- Use Claude Code Desktop with worktree sessions over several conversations
- Sessions appear as "PRs in review" on the home screen
- There is no way to dismiss/close/archive these entries
- Starting a new session still shows the same stale entries
- Clicking an entry only offers "View PR" (which leads nowhere since no PR exists)
Expected behavior
- Entries should have a dismiss/close button
- Orphaned entries (where no GitHub PR actually exists) should auto-clear
- Starting a new session should not inherit stale review state
Environment
- Claude Code Desktop (macOS)
- All entries show "#1" and point to the same repo
gh pr list --state openreturns[]git branch -ashows onlymain
