Description

Worktree creation fails with lapsed SSO authorization (SAML 403). The app gives misleading error message ("directory does not exist") - it should instead help the user correct the situation (reauthorize)

Research direction

Start by reproducing worktree creation from the /chat path with a lapsed SSO authorization on Windows 10, using the reported app version as a reference. Trace how the SAML 403 is translated into the current “directory does not exist” message. Done means the user is told to reauthorize instead of receiving the misleading directory error.
