Each Agent Manager session runs in an isolated git worktree on a separate branch, keeping your main branch clean.
### PR Status Badges
Worktree items in the sidebar display a **PR status badge** when the branch has an associated pull request:
- **Open** — badge indicating the PR is open (its color can also reflect review and check status)
- **Merged** — purple badge indicating the PR has been merged
- **Closed** — red badge indicating the PR was closed without merging
- **Draft** — gray badge indicating the PR is in draft state
The badge appears on the right side of each worktree item and updates automatically via polling. If the worktree's branch doesn't have a PR yet, no badge is shown.
### Creating a New Worktree Session

### Is the context progress graph still available?
The context progress graph will be [added soon](https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/issues/8210) for users who like to see it.
Yes — the context progress graph (also known as the task timeline) is now available. It appears at the top of the chat panel and shows:
- **Timeline bars** — colored bars representing session activity (different colors for read, write, tool, error, and text parts)
- **Context window progress** — a three-segment bar showing used, reserved, and available tokens, with a visual indicator when usage exceeds 50%
- **Token breakdown** — input, output, cache writes, and cache reads display
You can expand or collapse the graph — your preference is saved in the `kilo-code.new.showTaskTimeline` setting.
### I like to closely monitor and approve the behavior of the agent. How can I do that better in the new version?
