Add conversation branching system that allows creating and exploring alternate conversation paths from any message point. Each branch maintains its own complete message history. Backend (Rust): - Branch data structures with backward-compatible storage migration - Tauri commands for create, switch, delete, rename, and list operations - Automatic cleanup of child branches when parent is deleted Frontend: - Branch button on all messages for creating new branches - Branch indicator badge in header showing active branch - Branch manager modal with full branch list and controls - Visual improvements to message action toolbar (more opaque, positioned above messages) Branches are character-specific and persist across sessions. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
