When creating new worktrees I'm not able to specify the branch name which should be used. This should be a requirement as a part of triggering the workflow.

Research direction

Start at the /chat worktree-creation workflow and reproduce the issue in the GitHub Copilot app on macOS. Trace where a new worktree is triggered, then verify that a branch name is required and applied to the created worktree; done means the workflow cannot proceed without the name and the resulting worktree uses it.
