Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** General

Creating a new work tree seems to hang if there are uncommitted changes in the local clone of the repo. Once saved changes in a separate branch and set current branch to main, everything worked.

Research direction

Reproduce the work-tree creation flow in GitHub App 1.0.3 on Windows 10 with uncommitted changes in a local clone, then compare it with a clean working tree. Trace the work-tree operation from the /chat context and verify that creation completes without hanging while local changes remain safe.
