What's Wrong?

The status bar at the bottom of the Claude Code (Desktop app) window previously showed
the repository name alongside the branch name (e.g. "Project X ← master").
It now only shows the branch name twice (e.g. "master ← master"),
which makes it impossible to tell which repository you are working in
at a glance, especially when working with multiple repos.

What Should Happen?

The status bar should display the repository name together with the
branch name, as it did in earlier versions — e.g. "BUMS ← master"
instead of "master ← master".
