[BUG] Diff button compares against `origin/master` instead of local branch point

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

In a new Claude Code session using a worktree branched off local master, the diff button shows changes from origin/master...HEAD rather than master...HEAD. This causes the diff view to include commits that exist on local master but have not yet been pushed to the remote — changes completely unrelated to the current session.

What Should Happen?

The diff button should show changes introduced in the current worktree branch relative to the local branch it was created from (master...HEAD), returning no changes if Claude has not yet modified anything.

Actual Behavior
The diff button shows changes from origin/master...HEAD, which includes unpushed commits from local master that are unrelated to the current session.

Verification

• git diff master...HEAD returns nothing (correct — no session changes)
• git diff origin/master...HEAD matches what the diff button displays

Environment

• Claude Code: latest
• Session type: new worktree session branched from local master

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a local master branch that is ahead of origin/master (i.e. unpushed commits exist)
2. Start a new Claude Code session using a worktree branched off local master
3. Without Claude making any changes, click the Diff button
