What happens

After deleting a thread's branch and worktree, the left sidebar still displays the deleted branch/worktree association. The right status card correctly stops showing it, leaving the two views inconsistent.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start a thread attached to a Git worktree and branch.
  2. Delete the branch, then delete the worktree and its Git registration from the thread.
  3. Compare the thread row in the left sidebar with the right status card.

Expected behavior

The sidebar clears the deleted branch/worktree association and agrees with the right status card.

Actual behavior

The sidebar retains the deleted association. In the supplied screenshot, the Write Random Text thread still shows t3/random-text-field after the conversation reports deletion of that branch and worktree t3-88ed6f2f. The right status card no longer shows the association and offers Initialize Git.

Environment

macOS desktop app. App version not supplied. Reported 2026-10-25.
