Closes AI-403 Recently, we introduced the ability to pick, from the plus icon button in a project's header in the sidebar, which of the currently loaded worktree you'd like to create a new thread on. This PR extends this ability by allowing you to _create_ a new worktree from there as well. Turned out this just felt like a natural move after playing around with the change internally; we had a good amount of internal asks for this. What's exposed in the menu is exactly the same options available in the worktree picker, following the same display rules. <img width="650" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-15 at 12 22@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ef45d93e-9106-46c6-9a8b-bc099036a7de" /> Release Notes: - Agent: Enabled creating a new worktree from the sidebar's "new thread" icon button.
