Description
Every time I stop working on an issue, I leave my changes in the created branch. But those changes aren't stashed, as the extension just does a checkout to master.
I would like to stash those changes when I stop working, and then move into default branch.
It could be a toggle setting, so that it isn't the default.

Research direction
Start by locating the extension's stop-working flow and the checkout to the default branch. Check how branch changes and settings are currently handled, then define the behavior for stashing changes and making it optional. Done means stopping work preserves changes in a stash and switches branches when the setting is enabled, with existing behavior retained otherwise.
