Research direction

Start at the /chat view and reproduce the local-repository flow on Windows using the reported workaround as a comparison. Trace where the top-right "Toggle panel" control is rendered, then make the "Open in" action available without starting a session and verify that it opens the selected repository.

Description

When local repository is chosen (instead of new worktree) the "Open in" button should be available in in the top right corner next to "Toggle panel".
I shouldn't have to start a session in order to open my repo.

Workaround right now is to toggle panel -> open terminal -> writing "code ." in the terminal.
