Show current git branch in the desktop app UI (header or status bar)

[DirtyHarryCode]

The macOS desktop app (Claude.app, Code mode) shows the repo name in the top header (e.g. filecamp-go / <session title>) but not the current git branch. The branch is only reachable via the header dropdown's "Copy branch name" — there is no persistent, at-a-glance display of which branch you are working on.

Knowing the active branch is critical for any git work (it prevents committing or making changes on the wrong branch). The statusLine setting solves this in the terminal CLI, but it does not render in the desktop app, so desktop users have no way to keep the branch visible.

Request

Surface the current git branch inline in the desktop app — for example:

• next to the repo name in the top header, or
• in a small status bar at the bottom,

and/or render the configured statusLine in the desktop UI.

Environment

• Claude desktop app for macOS (Code mode)
