The composer footer normally shows chips for the active workspace (Local · repo · branch · worktree), visible on new/empty conversations.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a conversation in a git repo (chips visible).
- Ask Claude to rename the current git branch (e.g. via
git branch -m). - Chips disappear from the composer footer for the rest of the conversation.
Expected: chips stay visible and reflect the new branch name.
Actual: chips vanish entirely; only reappears in a brand-new conversation window.
Underlying git state is unaffected (git branch --show-current reports correctly) — this is purely a UI/display issue in the desktop app.
