Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Bugs

Please add default in settings to default multi-repo sessions to 'local' instead of having to manually toggle off the worktree under every single repo. This is particularly difficult when i have a large number of repos in a folder that i want to open and do work on. Currently if i open my large repo folder in github copilot it tries to create worktrees for 93 repos (which basically makes it stuck for a long time). If There is another workflow that allows for easier cross repo work i would be happy to try that as well. Thanks for all your work!

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the settings flow for multi-repo sessions and the worktree toggle, then trace how opening a folder selects the session mode. Done means a setting can default these sessions to local without manually changing each repository, while opening a large folder no longer creates worktrees by default.
