What's Wrong?

When starting a new session in Claude Code (web) with Default selected (no repo chosen), sending any message triggers a "No repos match" error. This error should only appear when trying to select a repo — it should not appear in Default mode where no repo is required. and even still, i have claude code connected in github and all repositories selected

What Should Happen?

Starting a session in Default mode should work without any GitHub repo connection. The "No repos match" error should not appear at all when no repo has been selected.
