Problem Statement
When using the new claude agents view (amazing feature btw <3), when I use a /branch or /fork it replaces the current chat with the branched chat. The original chat is no longer accessible in agents view, and cannot be resumed (due to this bug https://github.com/issues/created?issue=anthropics%7Cclaude-code%7C60203).
Proposed Solution
However, in agents view, it would make way more sense to add the new branch to the list of chats, so I can quickly navigate in between the original, the branch, and any other branch that I create.
