Description
Feature summary
Read through a session without an existing worktree
What problem are you trying to solve?
I opened a old session where I have already deleted the worktree to save space on disk (I had over 200 GB of worktree data locally), and I only get this:
That does not allow me to read through the conversation, which is the only thing I want to check, maybe open the PR from it, and it would be nice if I can kick off a new session with it.
Proposed solution
Allow the user to read the session threads. Block the prompt input, but do allow the PR info tab to be shown and used.

Research direction
Start at the session view and the state that handles a missing or deleted worktree. Trace how the conversation and PR info tab are rendered, then verify that prompt input is blocked while thread reading and PR actions remain available. Add coverage for opening an older session with no worktree.
