Add a version counter ref so that out-of-order IPC responses from listRecentDirs/listGitWorktreeDirs are discarded when a newer refresh has already been started. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

worktreeDirs is rendered immediately from component state, but this effect only refreshes data asynchronously after the menu opens and does nothing while closed. If workingDir changes between openings, the previous repo’s worktree entries remain visible and clickable until refreshMenuData() finishes, so a fast click can switch the user to an unrelated directory. Reset or hide worktree options until the fetch for the current workingDir completes.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Summary
Why
Working on multiple branches and tasks at the same time is much smoother when each task lives in its own Git worktree. Right now, switching the Goose desktop app between those worktrees is slower than it needs to be because the only path is reopening a directory picker or creating separate windows manually.
This RFC proposes a lightweight in-app worktree toggle so users can jump between related worktrees directly from the chat input, similar to the workflow Claude supports. The goal is to make parallel task switching faster and more discoverable without changing the broader session model.
