Research direction

Start by tracing how the desktop app currently discovers and adds repositories from the /chat path, then inspect how existing GitHub CLI sessions are stored or exposed. Done means the app can detect and import all existing gh CLI sessions without requiring manual repository addition. The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry points and verification coverage must be identified first.
