What's Wrong?

You're right, my mistake. Here's what to paste into each field:

Two issues with folder management in the desktop app: (1) When creating a new chat, a folder is already attached as the primary working directory and there's no way to remove it. I can only add more folders. The session gets named after the unwanted folder. (2) I moved a project folder on disk and the session that referenced it is now permanently broken — it errors with "Working directory no longer exists" and there's no way to update the path.

What Should Happen?

I should be able to remove or change the primary working directory when creating a session. Sessions with stale folder paths should let me update the path instead of being unusable.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Move a project folder to a new location on disk
Open the session that referenced that folder
Try to add the folder at its new location — get the error above
For the other issue:

Create a new chat — a folder is pre-attached
Try to remove it — there's no option to
