This is probably where the disconnect is - the TUI workflow only really clicked when I started working across multiple worktrees at the same time.

It’s not all or nothing. You can still be fully in the loop, read all the code and steer each session towards the outcomes you want. You’re just doing it across multiple branches at the same time and imo it’s easier to do that through the TUI.
