Description
**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas
When I first pulled in the project I could see the active branch at the bottom. But once I started a session the repo branch disappeared. I would like to continue seeing which active repository branch I'm in. ie, I don't want to accidentally run a full session on "main" I'd like to know that I'm clearly on a "feature" branch.

The info bar below the chat text area disappeared after I started a chat session with the agent. I would like to easily see or have that information visible at all times or by hover over.
Thank you for the great product! 👍

Research direction
Start at the /chat path and compare the provided Before Session Chat and After Session Chat Start screenshots to identify where the repository and active-branch information is rendered before and after a session begins. The work is done when the active branch remains visible or has an equally clear hover-based presentation throughout the chat session, including the shown Windows configuration.
