• Session persistence: Auto-open specific sessions after review operations, with improved state management across worktree changes.
• Claude CLI robustness: Enhanced error handling with stderr collection and silent failure detection to prevent broken continuations.
• Dashboard UI: Persist worktree collapse state and maintain scroll position improvements with instant scrolling after UI changes.
• Performance: Moved Claude CLI execution to a dedicated thread to prevent async runtime starvation during concurrent sessions.

Fixes

• Modal close behavior: Fixed highlighted card reference alignment when closing or switching sessions.
• Worktree setup messaging: Improved card messaging for different worktree types (PR, issue, script).
• Git operations: Made review git operations non-fatal to gracefully handle missing origin references.
• Session state: Cleared stale session IDs when resume produces empty responses to prevent broken continuations.

What's Changed
