   Thanks for the report, @vixalien! The build you used is an early v2 beta. Recent v2 releases let you pick an existing worktree when starting a new session: in v2.2.0, click the project name under the composer on the New Session screen, open the project's worktrees, and choose one.

   To look into this, could you tell us:

   1. Does it still happen on the latest v2 desktop release (2.2.0)?
   2. If it does: how were the worktrees created? By OpenCode ("New worktree") or by hand with git worktree add? Are they missing from the list entirely, or listed but not selectable?
   3. The exact steps you take, plus what you expected to see and what you actually see.

   You can reply here with the details or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it, so we know you're done.

   These issues might be related. The list is ordered by likelihood:

   • Desktop shows the primary worktree branch for manually opened worktrees #42976: in Desktop, a worktree you open by hand shows the main worktree's branch in the new-session context
   • Desktop: Cannot open git worktree folders via "Open Project" — only the main worktree opens #38842: in Desktop, Open Project fails to open linked git worktrees and only the main worktree opens

   We're closing this as not planned because we haven't heard back on the questions above: whether this still happens on the latest v2 desktop release (2.2.0), how the worktrees were created, and the exact steps. Without those we can't reproduce it. Recent v2 releases do let you pick an existing worktree from the new-session location dialog, so this may already work for you.

   If it still happens on a current release, reply here with those details or open a new issue, and we'll take another look. Thanks, @vixalien!
