… a tile forkBranch ended by opening the branch as a session-tile and leaving the primary selection on the parent (#69750). In the default layout there is no visible tile pane, so branching only added a sidebar row with no feedback in the main area — and openSessionTile no-ops when the target is already the selected session, the common case of branching the chat you're viewing. Load the branch as the primary session via resumeSession instead, which reuses the runtime already warm-cached by forkBranch's ensureSessionState/updateSessionState calls, so it doesn't cost an extra resume RPC. Fixes #93444
…ssion forkBranch was unconditionally routing every branched session into the main pane via resumeSession, including sidebar/background branches of a session the user isn't currently viewing. That reintroduces the #69750 focus-stealing bug for that path: branching a different session from the sidebar yanked the active view away from whatever was open. Only take over the main pane when the branch's parent is the session already selected; otherwise keep opening it as its own tile.

Summary
Branching a session now opens the branch in the main workspace — previously it only appeared as a sidebar row (the fork deliberately avoided selecting it as primary), so in the default layout nothing visible happened and users thought the branch was lost. Fixes #93444.
Changes
apps/desktop/src/app/session/hooks/use-session-actions/index.ts:forkBranchends with primaryresumeSessionin the default layout; tiled layouts keep the tile behavior; scoped to branching the currently selected session so sidebar branches of background sessions don't steal focus (guards the fix(desktop): open branched chat in a new tab and switch to it #69750 regression)Validation
