Research direction
The bug is in the virtual branch naming logic. Look for the code that handles the 'Sentence case' option, likely in a UI component (Svelte) and the corresponding Rust backend. Check how branch names are transformed and ensure that when creating a virtual branch, the name is converted to lowercase. Specifically, search for string case functions or the branch creation handler in the Tauri commands. The issue is well defined and localized, making it a good entry point.
