Description

I'm interesting in a way for the Agents view to show the name of the parent git worktree folder when working with worktrees. Currently, when you start an agent in a new worktree, the session becomes the name of the worktree branch folder instead of the project root folder. This makes it difficult to recognize which agent session belongs to which project at a glance. I can't actually find anywhere in the Agents view the indicates a session -> project mapping at all.

What I think might make sense is a setting to place the parent git folder name next to the worktree folder one like: `meshcore-ts / feat-delete-message`. Maybe even a way to customize the session name like you can the titlebar.

This is possibly a duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/311148 so if that is deemed the case then this could be rolled up into that. It seemed like maybe it was a slightly different to me.
